I'm guessing those of us that had a good laugh at the comparison are not the target audience. And I'll bet Hitler is a better golfer.

I think ole Hank is more of a "feels it in my bones" type as opposed to a "know it in my head" kind of guy. ;)
Too many brain cells burnt over the years.... know wutta mean?

So pointing out it is illogical that poltical oppostes should not be out buddying around together plaing gulf, and that both our poltical parties are run by fascist stooges.
And for those both poltically and arithmatically retarded, Obama, Biden and Bohner makes three.

A stooge is a person who is under the control of another.
Hank would get my avatar.
He's not fired because his poltical truth was not defensivly articulated, but because his poltical view is not of the type to be aired by the corporation that hired him.
On platforms such as ESPN they have done the same for a more articulate person just questioning the coverup of 9/11.

on the MSM this morning they were saying that he compared the POTUS to Hitler. it wasn't so much a comparison as it was an analogy to demonstrate the absurdity of Barry and Boner playing golf together and apparently enjoying each others company. if anything reveals the charade that is the two party system it's this.

Looks like money talks.
Hank Williams Jr. apologizes for Hitler-Obama analogy (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/post/hank-williams-jr-apologizes-for-hitler-obama-analogy/2011/10/04/gIQANw1iLL_blog.html?hpid=z3)
Hank Williams Jr. apologized for using an analogy about Adolf Hitler and President Obama in a TV appearance Monday.
In a statement on his website (http://www.hankjr.com/), Williams wrote:
“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.”
Williams’s comments on “Fox and Friends” (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/post/espn-pulls-hank-williams-jr-from-monday-night-football/2011/10/03/gIQAT7F5IL_blog.html) caused ESPN to remove his signature “All My Rowdy Friends” theme song from its “Monday Night Football telecast. The network has not indicated whether it will continue to use the opening song.
“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.”

Say what?
Larouche almost talks in riddles. Hank Williams jr. lays his cards on the table and speaks (or sings) his mind.

Then he needs to write a song about "it's all about the money" ... and "I'm a sellout to the ZiOmACHINE"
