"We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!" -Hank Williams Jr.

Once again, I am very concerned about unfiltered statements by celebrities.

Any thoughts?

Why?

Celebrities have the same right to freedom of speech as everyone else.

If you don't like what he has to say, don't purchase his product. If someone is getting their wisdom and political advice from a celebrity they probably have other issues as well.

So that's who Hank Williams, Jr. is. He uses the word hate. I could prefer something a bit less aggressive, but I'll defend his right to say what he thinks, within legal acceptability.

And I am ready for some football.

I hope Hank Williams speaks up even more. He's an accurate representation of the majority of Republicans.

Yes, he does. At least he admits to being a hater.

Well to be fair I hated it when loud mouthed ******* celebrities do things such as this.

I feel his sentiment though.

Does this go for people who watch Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Maher? Or does it just apply to celebrities who vote Republican?

When the left is concerned about hate speech...like Cher's calling for an armed revolution to kill conservatives.....then I will be concerned about one country singer doing his thang.
