2. What an asshole.

3. Hey Hank...

Are you ready for some fuck you?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

26. LOL!

[speedoo]

46. Please. It's Hank JUNIOR.

His dad deserves much better than to be associated in any way with this no talent asshole.

[lob1]

47. You're right, Dad had all the talent in that family.

"An interesting aside: Mr. Williams has never attended church, had a farm, served in the military or liked much of anything, including his own mother. That is what alcohol does to you"

Thanks for the link!

6. So, who owns and organizes the state fair?

I think pushback on this is warranted.

[lastlib]

24. I'm with ya!!

more info:

Board Members
The Iowa State Fair Board consists of the Governor, the Secretary of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and the President of Iowa State University; two directors from each of six geograhic districts; and a secretary/manager/CEO. During the annual State Agricultural Convention in December, representatives of county fairs elect State Fair Boards.

We could start with the governor and AgSec. Then work thru this link:

10. I was wondering where that came from

Thanks, I think.

11. Anyone recognise the hat logo?

[redqueen]

12. The Steelers. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. There is IRONY in that.

Thanks for the laugh

[Ineeda]

15. Thanks.

Perhaps they could make a stand condemning such a hateful statement. After all, Pennsylvania sports organizations haven't been coming off too well in the PR dept. lately.

[taterguy]

19. Their owner was appointed ambassador to Ireland by Obama

I don't think there's any doubt about the ownership's political preference.

[jberryhill]

27. Looks kinda like Pittsburgh Steelers

Hat without the piping:




http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/04/steelers_owner.html

Former Pittsburgh Steelers fullback Jerome Bettis joined Obama for part of his bus tour through Pennsylvania. Today, Steelers owner and chairman Dan Rooney announced his support.

"True sports fans know that you support your team even when they are the underdogs. Barack Obama is the underdog here but it is with great pride that I join his team," Rooney writes in a "Dear Pennsylvanians" letter released by the Obama campaign.

[George II]

16. We need to start collecting all examples of THEM being hateful...

...

The Romney campaign is resorting to the typical super-right wing characterization, whether true or not, "you're hateful", "you hate America", "you're not patriotic" etc. etc. any time they see someone who doesn't blindly agree with their viewpoint.

[TahitiNut]

43. "all"??

Sheesh!! There just ain't enough bandwidth on DU or time to do THAT.

18. Hateful, divisive, false, and dangerous. nt

20. A no talent jerk..

... living off his daddy's name. I've scraped better off my shoes.

21. Geez

I saw references to Hank, plus the picture, and had no idea who that was, or what the issue was. Thanks for enlightening me.

Once
I
kid
you
not

my grandson, son and I were in a shoestore. The grandson was 2 and a half.
Hank Williams Jr. (I learned later but at first was clueless about who it was making noise) was on the store's intercom.
Suddenly the little one tugged on his Dad's sleeve and said: "Daddy, turn off that music. Is really sucks."
A little later: "Daddy, this music is making me sick".
Suddenly, still a little later, he was on HIS BACK, on the floor, curled in a fetal hug:"Daddy, call an ambulance, I told you this music was making me sick."

It's one of my favorite grandson tales.

[classof56]

23. Love this story! Thanks for the chuckle.

You have a very discerning grandson. Long may he wave!

Blessings.

25. Fuck you Hank Williams Jr.

You ate a fucking disgrace. Your father was a great man who left us way too soon. You on the other hand are a no talent doucherocket and about the biggest fucking idiot I have ever seen, you piece of shit.

[SoapBox]

28. That's a perfect picture of...Hate.

29. We should demand that they apologize for his remarks. Remember Hillary Rosen? Dixie Chicks?

Hillary made a comment about Queen Ann. And oh the outrage that followed!!!
She wasn't working for the Obama campaign when she said it - but she was labelled a very bad person.

Or maybe the Dixie Chicks would be a more similar situation.
True - Natalie Maines said what she did on 'foreign' soil - but what she said was NOTHING in comparison to this anti-American bullshit.

[George II]

30. What an ass...........

His father nicknamed him Bocephus (after Grand Ole Opry comedian Rod Brasfield's ventriloquist dummy).

Pity the poor dummy!

[Mister Ed]

31. The careers of The Dixie Chicks ended, for all practical purposes...

...when Natalie Maines said she was embarrassed to hail from the same state as President Bush.

That was a legitimate political statement, and it was the truth. She did feel embarrassed by Bush.

Williams' statement, by comparison is false, filthy, hateful, and yes, un-American and un-patriotic. I hope the country music industry, and country music fans, will not support Williams after condemning The Dixie Chicks.

[Dustlawyer]

32. We booked him to open for ZZ Top. He spent the day of the concert in the hotel bar,

by the time of the concert he was smashed and belligerent. He tried to play a few songs and was terrible. When the crowd started yelling for ZZ, he cussed us out, spit on the cameraman, and walked off. Ironic he supports the Steelers, Iron City was killed when cheap Japanese steel put them out of business. Ronnie Raygun allowed it to happen. Very ironic, huh?

[Iwillnevergiveup]

33. QUICK!

Pass me the pepper spray!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. Rmoney Industries factories of hate (Wuerker)

[treestar]

35. They are completely irrational on this Obama hates America thing

Why would Obama hate a country that elected him POTUS? Disagreement on economic and social issues does not mean you "hate" anything. It shows they try to claim "America" for themselves. Farming? That's a new one. Equally ridiculous.

[Rose Siding]

36. I checked to make sure he wouldn't be at our State Fair. We get

Willie Nelson, Heart and Tim McGraw - liberals all in the state of Washington.

[mrmpa]

37. Wearing a Steelers cap. Doesn't Williams know that Steelers owner Mr. Rooney..........

backed President Obama and was named Ambassador to Ireland by the President? WTF

[Bossy Monkey]

38. Unworthy son supports unworthy son. n/t

[denvine]

39. What a buffoon!

Let's see of the country and western stations start burning his CDs. Sure, that will happen. They have so much hate they can't see what idiots they are.

[Javaman]

40. Oh hank, other than your lame football jingle, you got nothing.

Your dad weeps and your son destroys you in talent.

[malokvale77]

42. Hank III is awesome

I call it country punk. He looks just like his granddad.

[TBF]

41. Ignorant hick -

and unfortunately there are way to many just like him in this country.

[indepat]

44. Sounds like something hate-filled Hank MFf*cking Williams, Jr. might

say.
