Title: Hank Williams Jr Compares Obama To Hitler On 'Fox & Friends' - ESPN Pulls Intro Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 03, 2011, 05:35:17 PM http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/03/hank-williams-compares-obama-to-hitler_n_992513.html
Quote UPDATE: ESPN has released a statement expressing their disapproval of Williams' comments, and will pull his intro from tonight's Monday Night Football telecast. A source at ESPN told The Huffington Post that they are still evaluating whether they will use the song in the future. The country singing star and voice of the Monday Night Football theme song, Williams appeared on "Fox and Friends" this morning to talk politics via satellite hookup. He got right into it, telling the hosts that he didn't like any of the candidates in the GOP primary for President, and that John Boehner's golf game with Barack Obama was a major mistake. "That would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu. Not hardly. In the shape this country is in?" When Brian Kilmeade said that he didn't understand the analogy, Williams was non-plussed. "I'm glad you don't brother, because a lot of people do. They're the enemy... Obama! And Biden! Are you kidding? The Three Stooges."

Quote “While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.” Title: Re: Hank Williams Jr Compares Obama To Hitler On 'Fox & Friends' - ESPN Pulls Intro Post by: SUPERCOACH on October 03, 2011, 09:12:25 PM And I have decided that I won't watch the game.
