Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAnother rant from Hank Williams Jr.
Sigh."Weve got a Muslim for a President who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him," Williams Jr. bellowed. As the Dallas Sun reported, the crowd responded with a loud cheer.
This is the second time in recent weeks the singer has used heated language when describing his distaste for the president. A late August concert featured Williams Jr. doing the same bit, though the dig at homosexuals appears to be a new addition to his schtick.
In October 2011, the singer went on "Fox and Friends" to liken the president to Hitler.
Fuck you, Hank Williams, Jr.

(2,770 posts)"... hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him," said the man whose only claim to fame is inheriting a recognizable name, and being a jackass in place of being talented.
On the latter score, he has proved to be incredibly adequate.
mykpart
(3,879 posts)but then I realized that when it comes to cowboys and cowgirls, neither Roy Rogers nor Dale Evans ever put an English saddle on one of their horses and made them dance. I think Trigger might have thrown ol Roy if he had. Pretty sure Silver would have stomped to Lone Ranger over something like that too!
Bocephus,check into a rehab and get sober; then maybe you brain will work.
maddiemom
(5,179 posts)As someone who rode a lot of both English (both saddle and hunt seats, although you probably don't know the difference) AND western, a lot depends on the horse you are riding, but I'll guarantee a western saddle is like a big easy chair and does not give you much subtle feel for the horse. Western saddles were, after all, developed for more comfort during long hours in the saddle in rough territory. They still do the same job, but aren't necessary for the average rider. Neck reining is a big part of western riding, English (especially hunt seat) demands a lot more from the seat and legs of the rider than just clamping to hold on.
maddiemom
(5,179 posts)maddiemom
(5,179 posts)All the famous cowboy horses in movies and early tv were highly trained and, of course, capable of fancy footwork. They did so overloaded with silver tack--comparable with Ann Romney's horse to Ginger Rogers performing backwards in high heels with Fred Astaire. I never saw Trigger, but saw many other famous horses. I was only up close and personal with Silver. Jay Silverheels was touring with "Silver" (all animal stars had many doubles) and stayed overnight at a stable where I had a horse, as a kid. We weren't supposed to mess around with him, but of course did some patting and touching. Jay Silverheels was the real Tonto, however. As many horselovers (3rd generation) who are far from rich, I find myself defending horseowners in general because Ann Romney has horses. People who know nothing about it, make fun of any horse that isn't their unfamiliar idea of a real "cowboy" horse. Hate the Romneys, but leave Ann's horse alone.
mykpart
(3,879 posts)I thought we were on the same side. Didn't mean to insult your horses, merely to put down Hank Williams Jr. Please forgive.

he's only become famous because of his name.
so what else does a loser like him do? play to the base emotions of the moron right wing.
I have said it before and I will say it again, we now live in an age were stupid is profitable and insanity is a selling point.
BlueMTexpat
(15,690 posts)attended outdoor country music festivals, HW Jr was an opening night "headliner" at one of them.
He came on, sang a few songs - poorly - and left even before the anticipated end time.
The year before, at the same festival, Willie Nelson was the headliner. Willie & his band stayed on and on, even though it was raining. Willie's comment was: "So long as y'all are willin' to be out there in the rain, we're willin' tuh sing." Finally, even WN had to bow to nature's powers, but not before one h*** of a concert!
Willie gives his audiences even more than they paid for. HW Jr doesn't even give them their money's worth.
That's a big difference between Dems and Reps right there.
Screw HW Jr! And this is a former "cowgirl" speaking.

Country music has a bad habit of chewing up and spitting out it's older talent. Randy Travis comes to mind as does Johnny Cash.
Why don't hw.jr. take HIS chewing and spitting like a man and disappear in to the vast wasteland known as Hasbeenoplis.
If he didn't have that name who would go see Randall Williams?
This fraud would show up at the opening of an envelope if there was a drink of bourbon to be had.
