He has an issue with FOX, if you could not tell.
Has something to do with their push of their candidate on the viewing public.

The guy is fed up. He is not alone.... and that goes for both sides of the isle.
I think comparing anyone other than Hitler to Hitler is parochial at best. I thought he Left daft when they did it to Bush. I think the same of the Right when they do it to Obama.

Obama is a failure as President. That does not make him Hitler. It shows a profound level of stupidity to compare any American President or democratically-elected leader to Hitler. Its pretty easy to list Obama's failures without pulling the much hackneyed cheap shot of Hitler.

As for Hank, I personally would have just shook my head. However, image is everything and you take a chance when you are the face of a nationwide program. Bummer, but his rights have not been violated.

66 years later and pretty much any reference to Hitler will get you fired.

I'm not a Hank fan, but this was overkill.

I think Obama sucks as Prez, but he's not quite at Hitler level.

True dat. If we're still beating the dead horse of 1930's Germany analogies Obama's more akin to Paul von Hindenburg.

So now Conservatives can't even sit down, relax and watch the American icon, Monday Night Football without being embarrassed. I love it...

BTW, when people reference Hitler, it just reveals their entry level understanding of history and politics.

Actually the female analysts, I believe her name is Gretchen, asked him for clarification if he was comparing Obama to Hitler... His answer was "Yes" and then he made the statement that Obama was the enemy.

murder Jews.

He made the comment, which he shouldnt have. ESPN has every right to not use him anymore. Of course, Im not so sure they wouldve acted the same way to someone on their payroll that makes
a similar type of comment about a Conservative.
Oh, I think Obama would very much like to solve the Jewish problem. Comparing Obama to Hitler is not terribly far-fetched.

This is nothing more than an continuation of the old game "Your guy is dumber than our guy" that the left and right have been playing for years! All you guys and gals pointing fingers are the next ones to be pulled up on the panel.

I get so tickled about that when a noob does it...They see one comment outta 6000 that someone makes and then think they have you all figured out.

Couple times like that is all I give them before pulling the trigger on the ol' Iggie gun.
