Hank Williams Jr
THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — Somehow I don’t think telling 8,500 people at the Iowa State Fair one heck of a whopper using an incendiary topic of like Muslim is entertainment. Maybe at a Rush Limbaugh rally. But at a state fair?
Williams: “We’ve got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the US and we hate him!”
Even Sen. John McCain was civilized enough to grab the microphone away from one of his bigoted supporter at a rally and set the record straight on Obama back in 2008. ‘Obama is a fine family man and not a Muslim,’ McCain said along these lines, leaving no doubt in the minds of those in attendance.
Last year after Williams criticized Obama on a television news program, ESPN dropped their usage of his music for the theme of “Monday Night Football” after 22 years. That’s a steady chunk of change to lose.
Hank Williams Jr. may have all the money he ever needs, but this disgraceful tarnishing of country music family legend has been pretty ugly to watch. Folks, we’re now looking at the bottom of a barrel.

actually, Obama hasnt provided any proof he isnt muslim…we know he practiced it in Indonesia, what changed?
he actually wrote it in his book……
The burden is on the person making the claim, not the other way around. If you’ve proof, link to it. Thank you.
Obama himself claimed to have been a practicing Muslim as a child, in his book. If he changed his religion, that’s fine. He has not made any statement about having done so. Not that it should matter either way. My problem comes from the government silencing detractors like Hank Williams and Ted Nugent,
That was a statement in his book. However what is all this problem with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Obama’s membership in the church. Pick one to argue because they contradict each other on the face of it without getting into arguing about the details.
You mean the Secret Service getting involved when people threaten or encourage others to harm the President?
exactly,,,,,,I totally agre with you
Ahh. Threatening the life of a president is a no-no. IMO this is not censorship.
That was a seriously partisan view on what Williams said… Funny how when some “celebrities” like the leader of the Dixie Chicks said worse things about George Bush, that was “Freedom of Speech”, but when it is AGAINST Ms Cannes personal beliefs it’s a “disgraceful tarnishing of country music family legend has been pretty ugly to watch.”
J Starr, please limit your discussion to the topic, not the writer or unrelated matters. Is Hank Williams Jr’s statement true? Yes or no? What other celebrities said or did is irrelevent.

Although unrelated to the topic, the Dixie Chicks said:
“Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.”
They’ve made it clear it’s their opinion and there are no misstatements of facts (Bush actually was from Texas).
Williams on the other hand, did not express an opinion, but rather stated as fact Obama was a Muslim (and other claims likely to be untrue as well). He told a lie.
prove it was a lie…..the burden of proof is on the accuser…….your words
The burden is on the person making the claim. Williams says Obama is a Muslim. He needs to prove is case.
the easiest way,to clear this up…..ask your president too unseal his college records, and lets all see if he registered as a foreign student……..seems he goes a long ways to distance himself from any potential dmaging information
The president doesn’t need to do anything. Williams needs to furnish the evidence supporting his claim.
kinda like Harry Reid proving that Romney did not pay his taxes?
Stay on topic please.
the good ole double standard liberal two step
And this contributes to the discussion how?
The Dixie Chicks incident was simply an expression of Natalie’s personal opinion….that she, in fact, was embarrassed to be from the same state as Dubya… and look what it did to their career. What Nugent and Williams are doing is spreading lies and hate speech about the leader of our Nation. Their IS a difference. What Nugent and Williams are doing is inciting hatred and violence against our President and there have been no repercussions whatsoever… it just gets written off as “freedom of speech”. Natalie Maines excercised her freedom of speech and she received death threats and had her career destroyed. What is wrong with this picture???
what Natalie did was disparage the united states while we were at war, and while she was in a foreign country.,….and apparently the listening audience was turned off byit…..let the masses decide what is prudent and not I say
Aren’t we still at war now? You’re contradicting yourself there. Either way, Williams made a claim that was factually incorrect. The Dixie Chicks did no such thing. We’ll have to agree to disagree and move on.
Even if he is Muslim, whats the problem?
Wish I knew as well.
It’s not a problem. All religions are equal in the United States. For whatever reason, Williams picked Muslim and that is factually incorrect.
What was the reaction from the 8,500 people who were there?
What was the reactiop from the 8,500 people there?
There was cheering. There was no reports of how the people who didn’t cheer responded.
It’s Hank Williams Jr. & Ted Nugent. Who cares? That is the liberal equivalent of Julian Lennon & the lead singer from Flock of Seagulls spouting the same garbage. They are entitled to their own opinions. Myself, the anti military comments are always puzzling. Isn’t this the prez who brought down Bin Laden and a dozen more top Taliban leaders? Face it Neo Cons — you have a serious case of butt-hurt.
no, he fought the attack on Bin Laden 3 times, according to Valerie Jarret,….and yes he was acommander in chief, using methods put into place by Bush,and carried out by the navy seals
Who in turn was warned by Bill Clinton and was promptly ignored. We can play this game forever so lets stop it here.
Williams wasn’t stating his opinion. He made a claim. Hence a difference.
They might as well call him a terrorist, because that’s really what they are trying to say.
