I honestly think it is ridiculous. I don't know anyone that is an Obama supporter that would care if they pulled it or not. Makes me think less of ESPN to be honest.

So what are they replacing it with? Could care less about the intro and whatever Hank Williams thinks.

Anyone else think the media is out of control and making people dumber? Everywhere I look, it says he compared Obama to Hitler.

Pretty obvious to me that he's comparing the relationship of Boehner / Obama to that of Hitler and a famous Jewish leader. Which is a [tactless] way of saying that you wouldn't expect to see the two getting along.

I'm kind of ashamed of our media and the people falling for it.

Why was a country singer on Fox and Friends giving his political views, in the first place?

He's an outspoken Republican, changed a few songs for McCain/Palin, etc etc... He's been on TV before. Never that drunk, though.

Sucks for him, he wasn't comparing Obama to Hitler he was comparing the idea of Obama meeting Boeher.. to Hitler meeting that Jewish leader... If he wanted to he could've said something in the like of Obama is like Hitler and Boeher is that Jewish leader... Oh well that sucks I really liked the intro.

the usage of hitler is waay overblown. like al davis is hitler. or yo mama is hitler. or lebron james or dwade is like hitler. hitler language is carried around like change in the pocket nowadays. dont you guys agree?

I'm sure bspn would jump at the chance to have Hank beheaded live in front of millions on their network.

I thought it was too much that he is not there anymore for his comments. take it off for that night like they did-if you want- but to be gone for good?

I'm fine with them pulling him.....the song was around for 20 years....it was time for a change even if he hadn't said the stupid things he did

I don't have a problem with him voicing his opinion, per se, but I have a problem with the way he did it. He got what he had coming to him. It sucks for him, but if you come off as a prick, expect to get treated like one.
