Oh good grief. I wonder if the White House placed a call? ::)

Attack Waaaaaaaacth!

hey, I'm sure Hank's MNF contract included something about making statements like this.
Let me guess - it was A-okay for Champion to drop taht Steeler from their company because he had Qs about 911...
But how dare a television network drop a singer who makes comments invoking hitler?
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Someone owes me an apology.. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You fuuucking crybaby repubs.

That was just as stupid. And the last person who need to be talking about crying is one of the card-carrying TK members (that would be you, in case you didn't know).
You would think that the last bastion of peace from this Obama-worshipping media would be sports (the NFL, in particular). Alas, with these two examples, such ain't the case.

Cheney's comments have 180 melting down hard. This is the third thread he's posted in about Repubs crying. As if that's enough to somehow win Downgrade's reelection. ::)

i am highly disapointed in cheney. i've said it for years. He has no morals, but he has balls, intelligence, and knocked that PNAC vision out of the park successfully.4
Well, he HAD balls. Demanding apologies is something I expect a whiny barbara walters to do. Cheney sent teams of black bag ops dudes to whack bad guys all over the world. Seeing him on tv crying that a politician owes him an apology?
Dude went soft. Heart drugs, maybe. The 2003 version of cheney would have spit and mocked a pussy demanding an apology.
-
Now, I'm not as mad.
No Hank....BUT BUCS WIN!!!!
;D
-
please, he's a C and W singer...
-
LOL @ Fox news...
daily show had its moment of zen when they show someone painfully funny or ironic.
First, it's that dumb blonde idiot form morning host lady saying "I dont care what roseanne barr thinks - why should anybody care what celebrities think about politics?
Then, immediately after, a clip of her saying "now let's see what Hank Willims Jr thinks about the 2012 presidential race..."
LMAO. dbags. the whole lot of ya.

Hank only caters to redneck trailer trash anyways. So who gives a shit what he thinks?
-
This is fucking stupid, fuck ESPN ::)
And if you look at what he said, he's not comparing Obama to hitler anyway. It's saying that they're playing golf together is as absurd as hitler playing golf with nuttbagyahoo. That's not the same thing as saying Obama is like hitler, but even if he did say that, who fucking cares.

I like Hank Williams Jr. music!
-
I like his son even better, Hank Williams III. He is a dead ringer for his grandfather, Hank Williams.

Good Stuff from Hank Williams III
-
Lame.

"Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It's been a great run."
Good for you Hank. :)
ESPN, Hank Williams Jr. part ways
ESPN.com
"We have decided to part ways with Hank Williams, Jr," ESPN said in a statement. "We appreciate his contributions over the past years. The success of Monday Night Football has always been about the games and that will continue."
On his own website, Williams said he was the one who made the decision.
"After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision," he wrote. "By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It's been a great run."
In an interview Monday on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," Williams, unprompted, said of Obama's outing on the links with House Speaker John Boehner: "It'd be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."
Asked to clarify, Williams said, "They're the enemy," adding that by "they" he meant Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
ESPN pulled Williams' opening to Monday night's Indianapolis-Tampa Bay game and issued a statement saying: "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."
Williams, through his publicist, said on Monday: "Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme -- but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me -- how ludicrous that pairing was. They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the president."
Tuesday, he issued another statement."The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement," Williams wrote on Facebook and his website. "I am very sorry if it offended anyone."
Williams' song has been part of "Monday Night Football" since 1991 on both ESPN and ABC. He is a Grammy award winner who also was a three-time entertainer of the year from the Academy of Country Music in the 1980s.

I think he was talking about MNF, not football in general.

ABC and ESPN both owned by Disney
The reason they pushed it over to ABC is because ESPN can generate more revenue through different sources while ABC can only do it through ad revenue.
Espn paid almost double what abc was paying for the rights to broadcast.

Why? I`m sick and tired of people being "offended" because they don`t like what someone says. This nation is being a nation of cowardly babies.

the dude dropped the H-bomb, the ultimate political hand grenade, attacking a president that at least half of MNF viewers voted for.
Is he fcking stupid? Crying about 'woe is me, freedom of speech"
Nobody is taking his ass to jail. They're just firing him for hurting their $ numbers.
