How Hard is Hank Williams Jr. Getting F'd in the A Right Now?

A bunch of people have come up to me in the past couple of days saying, 'Did you hear about Hank Williams Jr comparing Obama to Hitler?' That seems to be the prevailing thought on what happened, even leading to his firing from ESPN Monday Night Football. My problem with this?  He didn't even come remotely close to comparing Obama to Hitler, and the fact that the liberal media (and Fox News shame on them) is reporting that as the story is so ridiculous to me.  The only thing more embarrassing is that the American public is buying it hook line and sinker, even though I literally don't know how.  I just googled, 'Hank Williams Jr. Compares Obama to Hitler' and about 1,000,000 pages came up, with our buddies at the Huffington Post right near the top.  Are we so stupid that just because he said the words Obama and Hitler in the same sentence we assume it was bad and overreact immediately?  Of course we do, because that's the new American way.  I would love to see ESPN explain how what he said was politically incorrect even for the most PC of people.

I actually watched this live and thought it was a great line and a great point.  If you watch the interview, Hank is basically just being a difficult dick the entire interview and the hosts are rightfully annoyed by him.  He just sits there giving 1 word answers with his arms crossed like he owns the place and they have to pull every word out of him.  When they start talking about politics it's obvious that he doesn't really have any faith in anyone or the system because nothing ever changes.  Then he brings up a point that I have always agreed with, but no one really has the balls to say it.  He referenced the famous Boehner/Obama golf round which occurred during the harshest point of negotiations during the debt ceiling increase a few months ago.

His point was basically, 'How can we as the American public have any faith in the politicians to get anything done when one second they are giving speeches to the country about how the other party is destroying American and shitting on the poor to help the rich and punishing the rich for success and blah blah blah and basically hating each other, but then go have beers and laughs over a golf game while the rest of the country goes down the toilet?'  His point is basically, 'if you really hate each other, don't play golf, and if you really like each other stop putting on this theater act where you pretend to hate each other.  Cut the shit.'

To illustrate this point, he uses a pretty awesome analogy that fits perfectly.  Referring to the Democrats and Republicans playing golf with each other he says, 'That's like Hitler playing golf with Benjamin Netanyahu!(the prime minister of Israel).'  In NO WAY AT ALL, does he compare Obama to Hitler.  The hosts act terrified and the one guy is like, 'Well, I don't really understand the analogy.'  How do you not?  It's obvious he is just using a hypothetical example of two famous arch rivals.  He may as well have said, Varitek having a beer with A-Rod, or Bird hanging out with Magic during the playoffs, or Biggy and Tupac uniting for a fun afternoon of drive byes.  Oh well, guy said Obama and Hitler in the same sentence so lets alienate him for the rest of his life and take away his ability to earn a living.  Great job America.  Way to stand up for common sense.
