Just when I was seriously trying to develop an appreciation for Country music, this asshole has to remind me of why I was never crazy about that genre in the first place (which mirrors my opinion of much of Reggae music, with the exception of a few artists: Same hate, different focus). Typical Southern Redneck. What?!? Someone was expecting him to say something intelligent? Sadly, a certain segment of our society will never accept Black people as their equal. Although thankfully, with each passing day that segment is coming ever closer to the end of their journey on this earth.

It doesn't surprise me. Remember, this is the same man who sung the lyrics....

If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie

I don't wanna go

If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie

I'd just assume stay home

If they ain't got a Grand Ole Opry

Like they do in Tennessee

Just sent me to Hell or New York City

It would be about the same to me

Yeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwww!!!!!!!

It's so stupid it's funny.

I'm very sure the yankees of NYC thinks Hank is another dumb southern rebel anyway.

What, he doesn't remember the Civil War?

And I thought Hank Williams Jr was stupid, but then TonyVanDam showed up on this thread [Snip - luv4u]

In case you don't know, I'm black. And I dislike Hank a lot more than you do. So please do not put me in the same sentence with that racist redneck son of a bitch.

I don't believe or practice Halloween.

I'm trying to be nice, so why in the hell are you coming after me with this flamebaiting attempt?

I would rather he speak his mind than hide his feelings. Makes it easier to know where i stand with some people. Takes the guess work out

OMG, his written non-apology reads like some troll post on Yahoo:

“I have always been very passionate about Politics and Sports and this time it got the Best or Worst of me. 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 and I am very Sorry if it Offended anyone. I would like to Thank all my supporters. This was Not written by some Publicist.”

Not written by some "Publicist"? No kidding! It looks like it was written by a 12-year-old! And of course, he didn't apologize.

Oh - and now it's not his fault, anyway! Because the Tea Party gets dumped on! Another idiot who thinks two wrongs make a right:

“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.”

“Every time the media brings up the tea party it’s painted as racist and extremists – but there’s never a backlash – no outrage to those comparisons… Working class people are hurting – and it doesn’t seem like anybody cares. When both sides are high-fiving it on the ninth hole when everybody else is without a job – it makes a whole lot of us angry. Something has to change. The policies have to change.” – Hank Williams, Jr.

This is why entertainers should not make their political views public. You're going to alienate up to half your audience no matter what you say.
