ESPN pulls Hank Jr. theme from football show for comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler
(Reuters) - ESPN pulled Hank Williams Jr.'s theme song from its "Monday Night Football" broadcast in a rebuke to the country music star for comments earlier in the day comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.
Williams, a Republican, had appeared on a Fox News' morning television show "FOX and Friends" on Monday, and was asked which of his party's presidential candidates he liked.
"Nobody," he answered and then offered unprompted commentary on Obama's golf game this summer with House Speaker John Boehner. He called it a political mistake because "it turned a lot of people off."
Obama and Boehner played side by side that day against Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich at the height of the congressional budget debate.
Asked what he did not like about the friendly bipartisan golf match, Williams replied, "Come on! It'd be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."
"They're the enemy! Obama! And Biden!" he added.
The network, which is owned by the Walt Disney Co, responded on Monday by yanking Williams' familiar "MNF" theme, "All My Rowdy Friends," adapted from his 1984 hit song "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight," from the introduction of the broadcast.
The song has opened "Monday Night Football" on both ABC and ESPN since 1991.
"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,'" the sports channel said in a statement.
"We are extremely disappointed with his comments and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight's telecast," the statement said.
A spokesman for Bristol, Connecticut-based ESPN said it had not decided whether the action would be permanent.
Williams, 62, later issued a statement acknowledging that his "analogy was extreme" but was intended "to make a point."
"I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me -- how ludicrous that pairing was," he said. "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."
He added, "When both sides are high-fiving it on the ninth hole, when everybody else is without a job -- it just makes a whole lot of us angry."
According to media reports, the team of Obama and Boehner beat Biden and Kasich at the summer golf matchup.
"The Jews I find are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as Displaced Persons as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler or Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the under dog".
Diary of US President Harry S.Truman - entry for July 21, 1947.
Israel Cohen, taken from "A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century", and entered into the US Congressional Record, 1957, page 8559:
"We must realize that our Party's most powerful weapon is racial tension. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by the whites, we can mold them to the program of the communist party. In America, we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will instill into the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negroes. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the Negroe will be able to intermarry with the whites, and begin a process which will deliver America into our hands."
All Hank Williams Jr. did was make a comparison of two opposing ideologies. He never said Obama was Hitler. The mainstream Jew media, as always, took it out of context and ran with their agenda. Then to rub salt in the wound they just had to say Hitler was the most hated man in history. Heaven forbid, Germany simply wanted to make Germany a better place by expelling all the Jews. It is time we make the # of expulsions 110.
Hank Williams Jr. wrote a new song about Fox News and ESPN

Quote
Hank Williams Jr. wrote a new song about Fox News and ESPNAre you ready for some vengeance, vapid lyricism and strained rhyming patterns?
Hank Williams Jr. is releasing a new song entitled "I'll Keep My ...," in which he calls out ESPN and Fox News after his remarks about President Barack Obama and Adolf Hitler on "Fox and Friends" led to his dismissal from the "Monday Night Football" theme song after 23 years.
The country music singer wrote the song on Friday and is scheduled to release it late Monday or early Tuesday. In its third verse, he takes issue with how Fox took his words out of context: "So Fox 'n Friends wanna put me down/Ask for my opinion/Twist it all around."
If it didn't mean having to listen to Hank Williams Jr. speak about anything other than music or Alabama football, I'd be interested to hear how he thinks Fox twisted his opinion. After all, there are only so many ways to take the quote: "It'd be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu."
Williams calls the U.S. the "United Socialist States of America" earlier in the song. He finishes the third verse with a subtlety you'd expect from the man who wrote "Why Can't We All Just Get a Long Neck?" The song ends with the suggestive jab, "Well two can play that gotcha game you'll see."
