*I posted this just to verify that he had a concert there.

My mom was talking to someone she knows (not sure who), and they went to see hank jr. in Green Bay last week. It sounds like he put up his middle finger (more than once) and said FU to our President. I'm only posting this to expose that sorry ass fucker for what he is. Can he be reported to the Secret Service? Can anything be done?
Goddamn, he's fucking nuts.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. That's not illegal, just offensive.

[Wapsie B]

2. Unless he threatened the President in any way I don't know if there's anything they can do.

[HopeOverFear]

3. the "are you ready for some football"? dude?

him?

[FrenchieCat]

4. Hank Williams Jr. Who?

If you mean the guy who can't sing but had a father who could, anyone going to his concert needs their head examined.

Most people don't give a shit what Hank Williams Jr. Thinks.....or says.....or sings.

[Dinger]

7. Actually I Think The People Who Went Were Dem-Friendly And Left The So-Called Concert Early

I'll talk to Mom again to find out more details. Sorry this is kind of sketchy. It just pissed me off, a lot.

[orpupilofnature57]

5. You have to do stuff like that or they'll kick you out of the Redneck world.

[geek_sabre]

6. secret service? Seriously?

Freedom of speech.

[Dinger]

8. The giggling murderer (bu$h) Would Have Had Them Sent To Gitmo

or worse. he would have called it an "overt threat."

[tnlefty]

9. Is there something that I'm missing?

Merely stating FU to the President and the middle finger is a reason to involve the Secret Service how? He's a sorry ass fucker, but Nugent has done worse in relation to DiFi, Pelosi and others.

Walk out and demand a refund for the ticket because a concert attender was offended and thinks he's fucking nuts? That's what I would do.

I really liked his father, but I never could stand jr., arrogant shit who wouldn't have made it if he hadn't been riding on his father's fame.

[Dinger]

10. You Are Correct

he's a sorry SOB, that's for sure.

[budkin]

11. Maybe radio stations everywhere will now boycott his music ala Dixie Chicks *yeah right*

[scheming daemons]

12. Dixie Chicks had their careers ruined over far less than this..

[Sugarcoated]

18. Their career wasn't ruined.

The Chicks won a Grammy award for album of the year for the CD they released after all that bullshit, but the fake-kountry music kooks sure tried their damnedest to sink them.

[alphafemale]

23. Are they touring? nt

[Sugarcoated]

31. Their official website says no

They're probably recording.

[Cha]

33. They won five grammys that year

and did really well with their Doc.."Shut Up And Sing".

[Sugarcoated]

13. Can you imagine what the kountry music people would've done

if a famous musician said that about Bush in that kind of setting? Boycotts, CD smashing, they wouldn't shut up about it.
Remember the Dixie Chicks? Yet more proof they're immoral hypocrites.

[Dinger]

14. That's For Sure (nt)

[alphafemale]

25. The freaks said it was about the office of the POTUS being disrespected,

Yeah the hypocricy is astounding at times.

[RollWithIt]

15. Yes, he's an asshole, put up his middle finger, but that is not illegal...

I put up by middle finger to Bush. Several times. In fact, I was once in Dupont Circle, September 2004, and there was secret service detail carrying Cheney through the circle (I assume it was him because they went off towards the VP residence) and I flipping the bird at them from the corner for a full 30 seconds. I was decked out in a suit at the time. White guy on a corner flipping off a full detail with 10 trucks.

Not illegal.

[Dinger]

20. Wow, That's Awesome

You have more nerve than I do. I know it's not illegal, but it pissed me off. Does that count?

[Thrill]

16. He's still bitter huh?

[jellen]

17. Hank Jr. is so ugly he has to hide his face behind a beard, sun glasses and a big hat.

don't bother to boycott his music because he doesn't have any. He's just a nobody.

[Dinger]

19. Touché Jellen

Touché!:hi: :thumbsup:

[alphafemale]

22. Actually he smashed a side of his face in in some terrible accident.

I don't know too many details.

Hank Williams Jr is a talentless, ignorant pig but making jokes about his looks is not a place you probably want to go.

[Dinger]

24. I Think The Ugliness Radiates From The Inside, Not From An Accident

I think that's what Jellen meant.

[whistler162]

28. Yes a face badly damaged by a serious climbing accident

can be ugly!

Can we see your portrait!

"On August 5, 1975 hank WIlliams Jr. was in a terrible accident while climbing a mountain in Montana. Every bone in his face was broken in the accident, and his skull was completely fractured so that his brain was exposed to the air. It took 9 surgeries to reconstruct his face, and he was hidden from the world for years due to his serious scars and treatments. This accident led to his eventual signature look- long beard and shades."

[mitchum]

45. "...his brain was exposed to the air" I guess that helps explain his stupidity

I don't know the explanation for his lack of talent, though

[whistler162]

51. If attempting to be little someone for disagreeing with you

works. Sad but great for you.

[mitchum]

53. He could wear a fucking Mao shirt...

and he would still suck.
I don't judge someone's artistry by their political beliefs. Ezra Pound was a fascist, but he was still a great poet.
Bocephus is a no talent hack who has sucked the lineage tit his entire life.

[BlueIdaho]

21. Drunks wil be drunks. nt.

[imnKOgnito]

26. The people the applaud the likes of Williams, Jr. and Nugent

are the very same ones that scream loudest that entertainers should stfu and entertain and keep their political opinions to themselves. I especially enjoy the ones that claim they used to be Springsteen fans before he went and got political. I guess they never actually listen to lyrics.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

37. and both of those pricks are bought off by anyone with a check

they're both coming to wv, along with hannity, to rally for mountaintop removal - an issue they know nothing about and have never seen firsthand. their sudden concern was born when the local coal baron opened his wallet to them.

[imnKOgnito]

39. Rallying FOR mountain top removal?

That just sounds wrong.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

43. yep

happening here on labor day
the coal baron behind mtr is inviting the top climate change denier from the uk to speak at an mtr site, with guest hank and hannity.
it will be emceed ny nugent and framed around a faux concern for jobs.
but the real goal will be to defend mtr and attack the environmentalists

[Enthusiast]

49. There is actually a rally FOR

mountain top removal? Unbelievable.

[provis99]

27. everyone here remembers that Dick Cheney had a guy arrested

The guy said he didn't like Cheney's policies and thought he was bad for the country, so the guy got arrested. The video was posted here last year, I believe. Why is it that liberals are arrested for things that conservatives get a pass on?

[SpartanDem]

29. We need find out who sponsors him or any products that he endorses

so he can find out like Beck that this shit is not acceptable.

[sunnybrook]

30. believe me that would not phase his following

and yes he does have a following... just not so much here at DU. That would be a badge of honor to them.

[fadedrose]

32. I'm R'ing this to call attention to it...Govt. should watch this guy

I love our President and this upsets me...hate reading it but glad you posted it anyway..

[Monk06]

34. Hank Williams should have pulled out when he had the chance Jr has been an embarrassment for decades

[tularetom]

38. Did you ever notice how much Hank Jr DOESN'T resemble Hank?

Maybe he did pull out.

[sandspur]

48. Hank III is the spitting image of Hank I though

Well with long ass hair and tats. III is not as political as his father and is friends with Jello Biafra apparently respects Jello's opinion on political matters

[mitchum]

46. I think you mean that the milkman should have pulled out

[Cha]

35. How many drooling idiots were

there cheering?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

36. Oh great - now we have to see him nude on the cover of Entertainment Weekly

These are dark times, America.

[jillan]

40. Maybe he needs to be "Dixie Chicked". Except no one has his cds to burn.

He's a pig.

[ivanincali]

41. Who the hell is Hank Williams Jr.???

Never heard of him, but he sounds like a douchebag!

[mattomjoe]

42. What's funny is that Brown County went decisively for Obama.

Surprised the hell out of me, let me tell ya.

[Juche]

44. Thats not really a secret service type of issue

Saying 'fuck you' to the president isn't the same thing as saying 'death to Obama' or joining a right wing militia that things Obama is the antichrist. The SS needs to worry about the people who do the latter.

[slackmaster]

47. Please grow a thicker skin

Mr. Williams was expressing his personal opinion. Not only is there no law against that, it's his right to do so. How many among us did exactly the same thing to the previous President?

There's no crying in politics.

K&U

:kick:

[Zodiak]

50. I agree. He's a RW prick

But he has a right to be one without the Secret Service on his ass.

It is not good to suggest using the apparatus of the government to silence a critic, and that is all HWJr is doing.



It is a tradition.

[BR_Parkway]

52. Seems like the 1st Amendment was put in to protect the sort of things

like this that some would find offensive.

He's got as much right to do it as I did to BushCo's motorcade. The only difference being that I had a much better reason for doing it!
