Aug 19 - Hank Williams, Jr. Says Obama Is Muslim Who 'Hates The U.S.'

Hank Williams Jr. reprised his role as a fiery anti-Obama blowhard on Friday, telling fans at a concert that the president was Muslim and anti-American.

The statement came near the end of a concert at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand. Williams Jr.'s comments were first reported in a review by Des Moines Register reporter Joe Lawler.

According to Lawler, the show was relatively free of politics until the end, when Williams Jr. made the following claims: "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"

The comments were apparently met with applause and loud cheers.

Williams Jr. made waves in October 2011, when he appeared on "Fox and Friends" and likened the president to Hitler.

That statement resulted in ESPN yanking Williams Jr.'s opening song from "Monday Night Football," where the country star's song had played for over two decades.

Though he later said his "Fox and Friends" comments were "misunderstood," Williams Jr. has continued to be outspoken in his dislike of Obama. He also released a song entitled "Keep the Change," in which he derides not only the president but also Fox, who he describes as "twisting [his words] all around."

In a July 2012 interview with Rolling Stone, Williams Jr. doubled down on his particularly blunt brand of criticism of the Obama administration.

"We've got a President that does a call to the Koran or Mecca or whatever," he told the magazine. When asked if he believed Obama hated America, Williams Jr. responded, "I don't know about that but it's kind of obvious. I guess when you take a tour, a world tour, to apologize for America."

A number of entertainers have come out in support of Obama and/or against the Romney-Ryan ticket. The Silversun Pickups issued a strongly worded cease-and-desist letter to Romney when it was revealed that the campaign had played one of their songs. The campaign responded by saying it was within its legal rights in playing "Panic Switch" and added that the song was not among those usually played and would not be used again.

Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine wrote a takedown of Rep. Paul Ryan. Ryan had previously said that Rage was his favorite band. In his op-ed, Morello wrote that Ryan represented "the embodiment of the machine our music rages against."

But Williams Jr. is not alone in the entertainment world. Musician Ted Nugent has made a cottage industry out of criticizing Obama, most recently claiming that the president "represents everything bad about humanity." Nugent was investigated by the Secret Service after he made the bizarre claim that a second Obama victory would result in the singer either being "dead or in jail."

I'm not white and I'm not American so someone please tell me who the !! Hank Williams is... please

I'm not white and I'm not American so someone please tell me who the !! Hank Williams is... please

at the end of the day , Obama is gonna upset us again. I voted for him and he renewed the fucing patriot act smh. But im still !!in with him. he is the extremely "lesser" of two evils. And that Ron Paul !! aint never gonna happen. So its Obama 2012 !!. !! all these rednecks. cant wait to see them cry again in november

Basically.

Obama spent his whole first term !!-footing around so that he would be able to get a 2nd term.

Hopefully if he does get this 2nd term, he'll finally start putting his foot down and doing some of the things he promised he would.

Ignorance at it's finest.

"Muslim" isn't just a bad word to "GOPers". It's a bad to a large majority of people in this country. We always have to remember that open minded people are in a very SMALL minority in this country.


It's crazy how proud people are to be ignorant of other cultures.

Of course Faux news tries to justify his remarks.....


But let Jay-Z say "!! Romney and everything he stands for"......umhmm Fox News a play the "race card" for weeks......

remember when Obama had Common @ the white house? FOX News !!ing lost it[pic] Which is rich, coming from morons who parade Ted Nugent around their "News" network all the time.
