Expect a Dixie Chicks-style boycott from the Nashville country establishment a week from never.
Junior's got jazz hands, y'all!
Hank Williams Jr. reprised his role as a fiery anti-Obama blowhard on Friday, telling fans at a concert that the president was Muslim and anti-American.
The statement came near the end of a concert at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand. Williams Jr.'s comments were first reported in a review by Des Moines Register reporter Joe Lawler.
According to Lawler, the show was relatively free of politics until the end, when Williams Jr. made the following claims: "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"
The comments were apparently met with applause and loud cheers.

The miserable drunk Junior will, of course, still be invited to sing at rallies for GOP candidates. And isn't it nice getting lectures on who 'hates America' from a guy who romaticized secessionist traitors with a song called 'If the South Would Have Won?'

(14,093 posts)Here's a real gem of dumbfuckery from a few years ago:
In 2008, he supported Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain's bid for the presidency. He appeared with McCain on the campaign trail, where he sang a revised version of his song "Family Tradition," called "A McCain-Palin Tradition." When the Republicans failed to retain the White House, Williams didn't take it well.
"If it wasn't for the Electoral College, Obama wouldn't be president," he said. "Let's face it. That's the problem right there."

A very nice endorsement of the local shelter. My daughter has done a couple of these for her broadcast journalism class for our local shelter (our family has adopted three dogs and a cat from that shelter). The dogs compete in agility and have done quite well.
