Hank Williams Jr. was a guest On Fox & Friends on October 3, 2011, promoting a new CD of his fathers Hank Williams never before released songs when Bocephus was asked his opinion about the current political climate in the country. This is what was said.
As you saw Hank Williams Jr. used an analogy to describe a golf game between President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner as like having a golf game between Adolf Hitler and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Now the Fox and Friends cast thought that Hank was comparing President Obama with Adolf Hitler. I think you saw that isn't what Hank was saying. I believe that Hank was trying to say that President Obama and Speaker Boehner had as much in common as Hitler and Netanyahu would and he has a point. Now let's not kid ourselves Hank DOES NOT like President Obama at all!
Well ESPN and ABC Sports got their panties in a wad over this and said they were pulling Hanks famous "Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL!!!" song from the intro to the NFL Monday Night Football game. Hank in response told his manager that he is pulling his song from "Monday Night Football" and said to tell ESPN ADIOS!
To Hank Williams Jr. it is a First Amendment issue. He believes that he has every right to say what he wants anytime he feels like it and if you know Bocephus that's the way it is. Of course the opposite is true also. ESPN and ABC Sports has every right to pull the famous Monday Night Football intro if that's what they want to do. It is their network. But from a Public Relations point of view I think ole Hank Jr. may come out on the best end of that stick. Do you think that was the end of it? Not hardly!
Hank took to the studio to let the world know how he feels about the whole mess the best way he knows how.
You Give Em Hell Hank!!!!
Ya'll come back now! Ya hear?!?!
