Obama is Hitler: Hank Williams Jr. Impersonates a Tea Party Sign on Fox & Friends
Hank Williams Jr. joined the morning crew of Fox & Friends and meandered off the rails. It even had the Ailes puppet crew freaking out, causing them to disavow his comments at the end of the segment.
Newshounds tipped me off on this this morning:
Hank Williams, Jr. appeared on Fox & Friends this morning and, undoubtedly knowing that Williams is a Republican, the Curvy Couch Crew decided to probe his thoughts about the 2012 presidential election. The ensuing trainwreck as Williams compared President Obama to Hitler and called Obama “The Enemy!” proved too much even for these three hosts. It probably guarantees this will be the last time anyone on Fox asks for Williams’ political opinion again. How bad was it? Bad enough that Gretchen Carlson made a point of disavowing his comments after the segment was over.
Williams was obviously in a hostile mood from the get go. He appeared in dark sunglasses and with his arms crossed as the interview opened. His bizarre answers that followed strongly suggested he was inebriated. That would be the best of the possibilities. Otherwise, what he said was just hostile, ungracious and offensive - even by Fox News standards. (H/T Aunty Em).
If Gretchen said that they disavowed his disgusting comments then you know it was way, way, way out there. And his remarks caused ESPN to pull him off of Monday Night Football tonight. I'm sure he'll say that his first amendment rights were just violated by ESPN because that's the standard tea party line of defense.
I go after Rep. John Boehner's obsession with golf, but I don't consider him Pinochet because he spends almost as much time on the putting green as he does in Congress. If Gretchen said that they disavowed his disgusting comments then you know it was way, way, way out there. And his remarks caused ESPN to pull him off of Monday Night Football tonight.
“While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.”
I'm sure he'll use the Dr. Schlessinger defense of saying his first amendment rights were just violated by ESPN
On the heels of a controversy surrounding her repeated use of the N-word on the air, Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced last night that her decades-long career on talk radio will be coming to an end this December.
"I made the decision not to do radio anymore," Schlessinger said on CNN's "Larry King Live." "I want to regain my first amendment rights. I want to be able to say what is on my mind, in my heart, what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry."

Dr. Laura Quits: Was She Forced Out or Were Her First Amendment Rights Really in Jeopardy?Just last week in a debate about racism on her radio program, the conservative host used a racial slur 11 times on the air.
That's the standard tea party line of defense for all their incendiary rhetoric.
Hank needs to go back to that below average southern state school system again for a refresher course in history.
... in the name of his right-wing "party" in order to confuse people. It sure worked on Little Hankie, I guess.
"Hitler cleverly used the word 'socialist' in the name of his right-wing "party" in order to confuse people."
Confusion, after all, does tend to bring about the kind of extreme solidarity and declarations of unity and purity the German people showed Europe and the world in the 30s and 40s. Stupid wingers just don't do nuance.Not then,not now.
That's hilarious! Coming from FOX Fascists Central!

The only thing this pathetic loser has in common with his dad is his name (and maybe his penchant for alcohol). Why anybody would ask this washed up, never-has-been anything more abstract than "what time is it?" is beyond me. On the other hand, this IS FOX and Freaks, so I shouldn't be surprised. Once they brought Kid Rock on, and even he seemed to be baffled as to why the fuck they had him on.

I live in Oklahoma. I here this crap all the time. Black folks, in general, are always accused of this. So, it's not surprising to hear ole' Hank say it out loud.
It is funny to see Fox trying to move themselves to away from the fringe. They are only doing that as they see that Obama is vulnerable now. If Obama was hovering above 50% approval, Hanks accusations would have been the "news" theme for the entire day.

Where is the observation that the President of the United States ordered the assassination of an American citizen without a hint of the due process required by 5th amendment to the constitution. And that this assassination has now been carried out.
In late June and early July of 1934, Hitler assassinated some one hundred of his then primary political opponents. The courts were silent, the army was silent and Germany descended into a dark age of complete barbarism.
What are we headed for here when so few note that the President of the United States has committed murder, as certainly as if he had pulled a trigger.

I watched some of Bill Maher's show the other night. Even he and his guests (Salman Rushdie and a few others I can't recall right now) were rather thrilled that Al-Awlaki was killed. It didn't matter that this was an American citizen who had not been charged, indicted, or tried for any capital crime whatsoever. The overall meme was "He was a traitor, and traitors must die!" I find that especially galling coming from Rushdie who, until recently, had a price on his head courtesy of the Iranians. They considered him a traitor; suppose they were able to carry out the assassination.

I can't help thinking of the dangerous precedent we have just set. We have done this before to other nationals, but now it's public, overt, brazen...and it's one of our own citizens.
And the worst...it will become routine just like torture, unlawful detention, rendition, etc.
I never thought I would live to see this country devolve into such a stinking, lying, corrupt police state. Perhaps we need to take a lesson from the Arabs and rise up.
We have to end this madness.

Your boldface won't do it and you have missed the point.
The exception vis a vis the Grand Jury doesn't mean that someone can be assassinated.
It means that they could be charged without a Grand Jury, in those instances cited.

Treason is a capital crime and Ape-Man has shown why the grand-jury wasn't necessary. When a grand jury is not necessary, capital punishment is considered legal for treasonous offenses. Anwar al-Awlaki was a traitor and suffered the punishment condoned by the Constitution

What it says is "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases .."
No one shall be HELD .. as in "detained" .. taken into custody ..
It does NOT say, "No person shall be executed .. except in cases .."

The death penalty as in all cases would only be imposed after due process. Which means a fair trial and with the death penalty, automatic right to appeal.
DUE PROCESS, the right defend yourself in court and not just have the government say whatever and come along and kill you.
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
I understand your point very well and don't disagree completely with it, but even inside the United States, if a U.S. citizen is holding somebody hostage and poses an imminent threat, law-enforcement officials can kill him. The standard would be pretty much the same outside the United States. If you go back to World War II, if an American has signed up as part of a foreign army, that person doesn't cease to be a lawful target.
I guess the question also becomes, "Was al-Awlaki an imminent threat?"
(Much of my point is based on an piece written by Michael Hirsh in the National Journal)
I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.
Adolf Hitler
He was just a terrorist and enemy combatant. Should we provide proof for all terrorists ? And in his case there would be ample proof.
According to the Government which under the due process required by the Constitution would have presented its evidence and the accused would have ample opportunity to defend himself in a court of law.
The Government can say any damn thing about you it wants and now execute you.
Without any court overview. Which is the basis of due process.
The fact is neither you or I know what al-Awlaki did or did not do because there is no court document stating it.
We will never know because he was murdered.

Sorry, you're wrong. From Glenn Greenwald:
;
Maybe you're right, but law is not easy for lay people..
I'm not too sure, but it looks like the part:
refers to criminal 'case's - so this may hinge on whether or not this is a 'criminal case' situation against Anwar al-Awlaki or something else...
As oncall points out this was almost certainly a case of high treason.
Are there lawyers and justices that have made their opinions known on this issue yet?

Could they possibly dig up a bigger dumb ass than this guy? I seriuosly doubt it. What a screw ball. Does anyone watch these three stooges? Remember Hank, it takes three to make "the three stooges". Jesus, help us. Could we cut loose of a few states down South please?

So enjoyable to see the stooges squirm as Hank squeezed out one southern-fried stinker after another. They tried to ignore it, but then he cut loose with a Hitler turd, and that was just too big and rank to ignore.

I don't see an outrage here. On a certain level, Hank was right on. 85% of the people don't like the Congress and what it isn't doing.
And Obama continues to want to compromise with that? His more recent direct confrontation will go alot farther.

An entire bar here is set up like a shrine to this idiot. This hick county shares his views as well. They are as racist as he is and just as dumb. He might have been too extreme for Fox & Friends but here he is a god and his views are considered mainstream. How scary is that? Somebody get me the hell out of this place!!!!!!
...because they treated his daddy so poorly, and he turned out to be famous and a cash cow for anyone who could trade on the name "Hank Williams."

That someone who thinks and talks like that can get a regular slot on national media (if I formerly had the slightest interest in NFL football, I sure wouldn't now) is just sad. Sadder yet is that he has a significant following.
More than sad... alarming. We are living in dangerous times, and some serious shit lies ahead.

And I hope ESPN cuts that intro for good - god it's old and I'm sick of it. Am I ready for some football? Yeah, cut this shit and let's get to the friggin' game. I was trying to remember how long this has been going on - I can remember SNL doing a spoof where Farley was Hank, Jr. That long. It's time to move on.
What you also have to consider - it's not jus ESPN. In that intro segment players from the NFL are featured, too along side good 'ol Bocephus.
I've seen some stuff, man. And some thangs...
that has turned me off to football. A big glitzy extravaganza that glorifies corporate culture and redneck stereotypes. Game? What game?
