Hank Williams Jr. calls President Obama ‘Muslum president who loves gays’
This is pretty unbelievable.
Hank Williams Jr. launched into a tirade over the weekend while performing at the Stockyards Music Festival in Texas during which he maligned President Barack Obama and gays.
He said to the crowd: ‘We’ve got a Muslim for a president who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him!’
Alec Baldwin, incensed by the remarks, took to Twitter Tuesday to give the singer a piece of his mind: ‘If Hank Williams Jr. wasn’t such a pathetic, wheezing fossil, I’d have a talk with him.’
He later added: ‘I think we need to call Hank Williams Jr. what he is … A broken-down, senile, racist coot.’
According to the Dallas Morning News, Williams had earlier in the concert made fun of what he called ‘queer guitar pickers’ while performing the song All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down.

I do not own any of Hank Jr’s music and have no plans to do so. I am with ESPN and Alec Baldwin on this.

He is the picture of the current GOTP-racist, xenophobic, homophobic. Living gloriously like it’s 1955. Enough already!
Obama/Biden 2012

As long as Dolly, Faith and Tim and Nicole and Keith and Carrie and Taylor love us and appreciate our loyalty that is all that matters. I used to like some of the old school country guys and gals like: Alan J and Marty Stewart and even Reba M, whose sitcom was pretty funny. With guys like Hank Jr. coming out and being all types of crazy makes me wonder about the entire Nashville clan. Kd Lang was strictly a country gal when she first arrived on the music scene and was black-balled from the Nashville scene because she was strictly chickly. Now I know there hasn’t been too many gay country artist but gay country fans (I’m one) we are so here and so queer and not going anywhere. I might have told a bit of a lie (call me sexy Ryan), I’m not sure if he is gay or not but Kenny Chesney is so damn sexy and makes my gaydar go off a bit. However, I’m waiting for the meat and potatoes Toby Keith to come to Hank’s defense because he reminds me of a good ole’ boy like Hank. I love me some good ole boys from time-to-time and would see them more than anyone in the bookstores and headshops (wink) while the little sweet misses is home making homemade apple pies. Now the irony is these guys would swore off gay men and even gay women, unless they were involved but they would have more gay sex than you could ever imagine and these were good ole’ boys. Hmmmmmmmmmm………

Look at him! He is proof that Neanderthals and Munchkins can breed.

Being an alcoholic does addle the brain. I agree that people like this dude takes us back to the 1800’s; him and people like Paul Ryan.

Hank Jr., Stop being an American. We do not fit in as patriots anymore. Our country is falling apart.
