Hank Williams Jr. Monday Night Football Theme Song Yanked After He Compares President Obama to Hitler
Meant to post this before MNF tonight with a pithy comment about who’s gonna ask us if we’re ready for some football now that Hank Williams Jr. got kicked off of ‘Monday Night Football’ by ESPN but I fell asleep after the tryptophan kicked in from eating left-over Thanksgiving turkey this afternoon. Williams is a f-cking NUT though. I mean, hit the jump for the original video of his full appearance on ‘Fox & Friends’ on Oct. 3 that created the initial firestorm if you missed it or aren’t full convinced.

New York Observer‘s exclusive, unaired Occupy Wall Street Fox News interview footage
I haven’t been paying that much attention to the Occupy Wall Street protest movement despite the fact that it’s spreading and there’s been some questionable incidents related to it but this is amazing! A must-watch. The only part where dude perhaps gets into sticky territory is right at the end (which surprise, gets cut off) when he starts talking about Solyndra! There’s a good reason the interview in this footage has been unaired on TV. Sadly, the mainstream US news media isn’t really about addressing the difficult topics with honest, intelligent debate and dialogue that isn’t just empty, worn-out talking points.
