Hank is racist he made a confederate flag stating (if the south was won..we would’ve had it made) smh i like his music no lie just hate him as a person
@@Crippinbarbie Some of his stuff for sure hasn't aged well... but just about every country artist has used it at some point it seems. Even Alabama, which is a somewhat progressive band. All I was getting at was it was a little dorky for this anchor to make fun of the way Hank speaks.
I was pretty much expecting Hank Williams Jr say to Gretchen Carlson: "Mmmm you smell like the inside of my Mama's purse." This is just so fucked up. "OBAMA!"
ESPN made a huge mistake in pulling Hank Williams, Jr.'s Monday Night Football spot. All Hank did was speak his mind, & as an American, he has the right to do so under the First Amendment. I will no longer be watching ESPN as a result of their blunder, unless the network apologizes. Bravo, Hank Williams, Jr.!
Something I learned today which may be relevant: "While climbing Ajax Peak in Montana, the snow beneath Williams collapsed and he fell almost 500 feet onto solid rock. He suffered multiple skull and facial fractures--his face was split vertically from chin to hairline, exposing the frontal lobes of his brain and requiring over two years of reconstructive surgeries to rebuild his face."
I'm a liberal and I didnt like what Hank said but kicking a guy off ESPN for sharing his opinion? Really? And people hating the Dixie Chicks for trashing Bush?? I'm sorry but I don't want to live in a world where people are fired, hated, or even killed for an opinion. I hate Rush Limbaugh so what do I do? I don't listen to him. C'mon fellow Americans! Lets grow up!!!
Ultracybor: Get your facts straight, Hank Jr has won entertainer of the year 5 times back to back. This is an accomplishment no other artist has done. Hank also doesn't focus on music anymore as much as he does hunting an fishing. So failed is a very poor word. Also for all you people just assuming Hank is racist, it isn't about the color of Obamas skin. How easy the people forget that he also donated $125,000 to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Or that Hanks very close friend was Derrik Thoma
I don't think he was comparing Hitler to Obama, he was just making an analogy because Obama and Boehner are at odds with each other, just like how Hitler would be at odds with Netanyahu if they were to play golf.
It turns out that just one hour earlier on that day's Fox and Friends, Gretchen Carlson said something along the lines of 'Why do we care what celebrities think about political issues? Why do we give them so much attention?' LOL.
This clown's "apology" was a joke. He apologized "if" people were offended. IF people were offended? That's an "apology" in denial. A real apology would say he's sorry because it WAS offensive.
You guys are missing the point... hes not directly saying that Obama IS Hitler, or is even like him. Hes saying that its just weird to see two people on the opposite ends of the political spectrum hanging out and golfing together. =_=
what's funny about this video clip is how Ben keeps interrupting this clip with his commentary. He's clearly trying to make the viewer think his way, rather than letting us watch the clip and think for ourselves. Thumbs down, TYT. Horrible job here.
It's sad that this IS THE REALITY when it comes to how the average American citizen feels about Obama - Throughout the entire country in coffee shops or around the water cooler.
People who view Fox News, or come on as guests instantly associate Fox as the place to blindly bash Democrats and Obama. I assume thats because Fox News is so fair and balanced, and is an actual news source.
you have freedom of speech, not freedom of speech without any consequences. it doesn't say "you can say whatever you want and everyone has to agree with you or shut up"
This guy can talk all the shit he wants but the reality is in 50 years Hank will be a legend. in 50 years no one will know this guys name let alone be able to pronounce it.
You don't ask Hank Williams about Politics you ask him what toppings he gets when he's at the Wafflehouse, and whats his favorite Bourbon, I'm guessing Wild Turkey.
The funniest thing about this whole clip is Gretchen Carlson just commented about Roseanne Arnold and why do we care about what celecbrities think anyway. We only care about the ones that agree with us!
Fox and Friends, what idiots for not knowing what Hank may have thought before the interview. Why put down Hank for sharing his views, when he should have never been asked for his opinion by Fox? After all look at Obama's approval rating, appearently very few of us like him. Hank did nothing wrong it was Fox and friends the ones that supposed to be professionals? This is Veterans day and I gave 12 years of my life to protect our 1st amendment freedom of speech. Hank Jr for president.
@kimmiesoo You don't know much about Hank Williams Jr., do you? Since FOX & Friends is a morning show, it was entirely likely that he was still drunk from the last night.
Anology my ass...there is absolutely no way a person can compare two people (obama and bonner) to hitler and netanyahu, its imposible, you can't put hitler and netanyahu in the same sentence
he said before they aired the show that he wasnt going to talk about politics and he was there to talk about his dads new cd. so thats why hes acting like he was. and hank williams jr has got it right on.
@FishDontBlinq I think ESPN is justified in pulling the song. Comparing the President to Hitler is outrageous and anti-American! If ESPN didnt pull the song, I probably wouldnt be mind, but I definitely dont mind that they did. These Conservatives need to understand that u must be accountable for your actions and words! U cant just say anything you want and expect no repercussions.
Hank is racist he made a confederate flag stating (if the south was won..we would’ve had it made) smh i like his music no lie just hate him as a person
They can mock him all they want but he speaks for a lot of people when he identifies obama biden and boehner as the enemy. I like how they put on the false sanctimony when he makes the hitler analogy. The press never had that reaction to the numerous democrats who compared bush to hitler, now suddenly it's a huge violation of decorum.
wow, making fun of the way someone talks
This comment didn’t age well.
if Hank Williams had any credibility left after this, he lost it all when he said he supported Palin. they should get married
I want more of Hank Jr.
Insulting accents? Why do you sound like some cartoon character then?

Hank Williams for president a real American!!!!
Lmao
No
He's represents the kind of people that vote republican LMAO!!!
Hank for press
He has a song called "If the South woulda won we'da had it made", what else would you expect?
This guy is walking satire.
And ESPN is bringing Hank back to Monday Night Football.
Hank Williams jr for president a real American.
Hank Williams is the man. I like the song he has called "If the south woulda won".
where did this guy come from the gay bar? hey how you like obama car? hank jr has it down path
No. But the Host of this segment looks and sounds like he did. lol
The young Turks disgust me on so many levels
"that's only two"
fox news, unlikely voice of reason
That doesn't happen often. Truly a rare moment for Fox.
I was pretty much expecting Hank Williams Jr say to Gretchen Carlson: "Mmmm you smell like the inside of my Mama's purse." This is just so fucked up.
"OBAMA!"
SOUTH RULES !!!

Bravo, Hank Williams, Jr.!
You know America is fucked when there's people who consider a golf game as the worst political mistake ever.
Gotta love hank! I agree with him 100%
That's cuz your parents are siblings
Hank Jr the best hank Jr for pres
@Hank William Jr. They didn't fire him, they only stopped using his song in the show's opening.
Hank was completely righy during the interview. This dummy making this video doesn't know nothing about politics.
Hey Hank.... ARE YOU READY FOR SOME UNEMPLOYMENT!
I thought that was someone pretending to be Hank Williams Jr. It had the feel of a Saturday Night Live sketch.
Whats even more shocking is that Fox and friends actually seemed upset and called him on it!

He did not compare Obama to Hitler , come on now , he was comparing the two opposites way of thinking .
@wezhira2007 Dave Chapelle voice: Somebody get ja rule on the phone so I can make sense of all this...WHERE IS JA!!!! hahahaha XD
I think the three stooges were actually meant to be the guys in the studio who were "pretending not to understand" according to him.
I don't think he was comparing Hitler to Obama, he was just making an analogy because Obama and Boehner are at odds with each other, just like how Hitler would be at odds with Netanyahu if they were to play golf.
I finally figured out who the Kool-Aid man is!!!! It's Hank Williams Jr
Why is a singer, wearing his sunglasses indoors, being interviewed about politics, or indeed, ANYTHING but singing???
It turns out that just one hour earlier on that day's Fox and Friends, Gretchen Carlson said something along the lines of 'Why do we care what celebrities think about political issues? Why do we give them so much attention?' LOL.
Hank Williams jr for president a real american
Stacy Collier yes
whats the difference between him comparing obama to hitler and when everyone compared bush to hitler?
Next week on Fox and Friends: The Grand Master of the KKK discusses his favourite fashion designers!
Damn.
For once, TYT is "fair and balanced" in their reporting of FOX news.
A gold star for you.
This clown's "apology" was a joke. He apologized "if" people were offended.
IF people were offended? That's an "apology" in denial.
A real apology would say he's sorry because it WAS offensive.
Why is a singer, wearing his sunglasses indoors, being interviewed about ANYTHING but singing???
If they didn't tell us that was Hank Williams Jr. I would have just assumed it was some random Fox News viewer.
Anyone else think he sounded creepy when he said "I'd rather be there lookin' at Gretchen"?
Wow that was so wrong that even Kilmeade was shocked he said it.
You guys are missing the point... hes not directly saying that Obama IS Hitler, or is even like him. Hes saying that its just weird to see two people on the opposite ends of the political spectrum hanging out and golfing together. =_=
Goodwin's Law.
Hank automatically loses.
thats right thank you hank
I think that "OBAMA" shout needs to be added to the TYT soundboard.
I love how even the people on FOX are uncomfortable with that analogy, the blonde guy is even like "Yeah, it's kind of out there".
Holy shit, the Fox Stooges criticized a person not liking Obama?
Godwin's Law has been enacted, Hank Williams Jr's argument INSATNTLY fails
Is anyone else astonished he knew who Netanyahu is?
@Dusty1298 Do you think that he was calling Boehner Hitler? He called Obama the enemy right afterwards so I am pretty sure He meant Obama was Hitler.
I'm impressed he knew who Netanyahu was
That's why his son is infinitely cooler.
what's funny about this video clip is how Ben keeps interrupting this clip with his commentary. He's clearly trying to make the viewer think his way, rather than letting us watch the clip and think for ourselves.
Thumbs down, TYT. Horrible job here.
The three stooges! hahaha, he was clearly including himself
hows it feel to lie to yourself enough that you believe yourself
wow hank read my mind. biggest political mistake ever was not voting mccain
@poestasis7 What if you compare someone's painting skills, or mustache, or struggles with chronic gastrointestinal distress to Hitler's?
Hank Williams Jr. continues to rain shame on his fathers name.
Hank makes a slug look like a nuclear physicist.
It's sad that this IS THE REALITY when it comes to how the average American citizen feels about Obama - Throughout the entire country in coffee shops or around the water cooler.
Hank, please just stick with singing about Monday Night Football.
People who view Fox News, or come on as guests instantly associate Fox as the place to blindly bash Democrats and Obama. I assume thats because Fox News is so fair and balanced, and is an actual news source.
I don't understand why he would do something like this knowing he would get fired,that's a head sctracher.
you have freedom of speech, not freedom of speech without any consequences. it doesn't say "you can say whatever you want and everyone has to agree with you or shut up"
Why is this guy still on tyt.
This guy can talk all the shit he wants but the reality is in 50 years Hank will be a legend. in 50 years no one will know this guys name let alone be able to pronounce it.
Hank is a fucking hero for telling the truth no one else is willing to do
You don't ask Hank Williams about Politics you ask him what toppings he gets when he's at the Wafflehouse, and whats his favorite Bourbon, I'm guessing Wild Turkey.
Can't count to 3. Hank Jr is going to try rebuild his career by remaking Pink Floyd's "We don't need no edumacation."
i cant get enough of how ben dropped his highlighter at 1:09
The funniest thing about this whole clip is Gretchen Carlson just commented about Roseanne Arnold and why do we care about what celecbrities think anyway. We only care about the ones that agree with us!
doesn't junior have a metal plate in his head?
his father was so much better in so many ways...
I dont even think Hank knows what he's talking about. You know its bad when fox can't even save him. Talk about digging your own grave.
He is actually one of the smarter republicans if you believe it or not.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used to GET YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL

@kimmiesoo You don't know much about Hank Williams Jr., do you?
Since FOX & Friends is a morning show, it was entirely likely that he was still drunk from the last night.
Please add "OBAMA!" to the sound board.
Anology my ass...there is absolutely no way a person can compare two people (obama and bonner) to hitler and netanyahu, its imposible, you can't put hitler and netanyahu in the same sentence
lmao ben's "OBAMA!" impression is hilarious, that is the funniest part
10 year olds are more competent to talk about politics...
Hank Knew.
Hank has talent, unlike ANYONE else in this video..duh!
I knew young turds would start stinking..smh
Last video of THE YOUNG TURDS, for me. next!
he said before they aired the show that he wasnt going to talk about politics and he was there to talk about his dads new cd. so thats why hes acting like he was. and hank williams jr has got it right on.
Isn't Hank Williams JR the Grand Wizard of the KKK...?
are you ready for some football!!!! a monday night partayyy!!!....We gonna getcha gonna fletcha gonna gimble gible litchya
@FishDontBlinq I think ESPN is justified in pulling the song. Comparing the President to Hitler is outrageous and anti-American!
If ESPN didnt pull the song, I probably wouldnt be mind, but I definitely dont mind that they did. These Conservatives need to understand that u must be accountable for your actions and words! U cant just say anything you want and expect no repercussions.
I'd rather hear what Hank III has to see.
They need to put this on the sound board.
Ben Mankiewicz needs to open his eyes and try to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem with this country.
that bit was full of sound board gold.
The fact that he would vote for Sarah Palin makes anything and everything he says invalid... OB-HAMAAAA, CMON'MAN!
@ViciousOneWon I agree but I'm just saying he wasn't fired for a particular Nazi comparison as Beck compared Obama to Hitler all the time.
What a Weenie!And he's trying to talk down Bocephus!
Hank is racist he made a confederate flag stating (if the south was won..we would’ve had it made) smh i like his music no lie just hate him as a person
I can't tell the difference between Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly.
Obama wins 2012 - Jeb Bush wins 2016
They can mock him all they want but he speaks for a lot of people when he identifies obama biden and boehner as the enemy.
I like how they put on the false sanctimony when he makes the hitler analogy.
The press never had that reaction to the numerous democrats who compared bush to hitler, now suddenly it's a huge violation of decorum.
