While I have no love for Hank Williams Jr. and am not going to shed a tear for him or the loss of that insipid song, I can't say his stupid analogy was anything other than stupid, not offensive.

Surely it falls under the, "Unless it involves the mass slaughter of human beings, don't bring up Hitler in a political discussion," idiot umbrella. But I don't think he was actually comparing Obama to Hitler.

Yes, the smart thing to have done would have been to clarify that actually he has no use for Jews so that while, yes, Obama happened to be Hitler in his analogy, it's not like Boehner was the good guy.

Yeah - I tend to think he's more of a dumbass without a lot of common sense more than anything else.

Only because I am sure I am not the only one curious about what Hank actually said, I am using one article (which seems to mirror what I am finding on other sites) to show the quote:

And here’s what Williams said: “It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu, okay?”
And to be clear, my intention is not to take a side in this one, simply to post the quote and its context.

NYC Bans Food Donations To The Homeless because the city can’t assess their salt, fat and fiber content.

I feel like this "solution" is worse than the problem.
