Hank Williams Jr. Serenades McCain, Palin

SUBJECT:
Al Qaeda and Taliban
LOCATION:
Afghanistan/Pakistan border area
JOHN MCCAIN:
Abandoned the war against Al Qaeda. Said we needed a war in Iraq instead.
DIAGNOSIS:
Advanced Leadership Deficit (ALD)

Hank Williams support for McCain is no different than Bruce Springsteen’s suppport for Obama. It’s meaningless. I will say this though…attacking the media is bull…the media has been more than fair with McCain. There are issues in McCain’s past that have been even scratched during this campaign…But that’s what losers do….find someone else to blame for their situation…

I’m selling my Hank Williams records! Obama/Biden ’08!

I have to admit I was on the fence, but this does it for me. In these serious times, what more could we ask for than a “dish”?
McCain / Momma Bear 08

“Family tradition,” a song with lyrics about drinking and smoking marijuana
Yeah, that old GOP “American Value” favorite.

TO SETH THEN RUN KISS OBAMA

I think he should have made it to the tune of “Okie From Muskogee”, much more appropriate for the “trailer trash” audience.
“Trailer trash” how “tolerant” of ya…

JR…you may as well tell us, you’re from Chicago..the south side, right!

Consider the source. I have no respect for that drunken bum. Never spent a penny on anything connected to Hank Jr. and never will. McCain can have Hank Jr. Obama doesn’t need his support. When it comes to music, Obama has Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, John Mellencamp, The Dead and the list goes on and on and on…

so calling folks rednecks is not divisive but referring to obamas ayers/wright connections is?

TO JR SEEMS DEMOS DON’T LIKE BIASED STATEMENTS BUT ARE GLAD TO THROW THINGS LIKE TRAILER TRASH AROUND BUT i THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY TRASH I KNOW

Did he also sing his 1988 racist anthem “If the South Woulda Won, we Woulda Had it Made”? No surprise he’s a McCain supporter.

so obama has all the drug addict rock stars singing him songs-obama being a self professed drug abuser himself must feel right at home.

THANK GAWD – Thought it was HANK III! Whew, I can rest now. No news here.

Southern IL ,
Well, DUDE!
I am a FIRM believer in the Free Market System. Unlike your candidate, he wants to “SPREAD” the wealth around. You know it like “Income Re-distribution” thing that the former USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, Mao, etc… that does not work!
So, when people start to believe instead of being mis-informed and dis-informed by your candidate, it will prevail.
What else is LEFT when the Economy is start “self-recovery” to de-bunk your candidate promoting the “welfare” system.
I have enough money to buy your Bridge to Nowhere.
PS: Don’t forget your CANDIDATE voted for it, too.
Have fun in the soup lines!

The main song was “So long it has been good to know ya” NOT

the same folks that you refer to in such hateful, divisive, tones are the same folks that comprise the majority of our military.
YOUR TIME IS COMING TO ENLIST AND SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO OBAMA.
so get ready to suit up and head off to the nearest enlistment center as you will be expected to serve YOUR commander in chief.

I don’t get this “White Supremeness” label that obolony followers are trying to pin on the hero John McCain. When you have a black person running with 99.9% of blacks worshiping at his feet, then yes, of course, color is going to be missing from the hero John McCain’s rally’s, duh! When the winds shift against obolony he will be a muslim, again? As always. When obolony loses, poor little michelle won’t be proud of American again..so sad. Obolony coined the phrase “typical white person” that is the racist, supremeness remark that gets ignored.

What else is LEFT when the Economy is start “self-recovery” to de-bunk your candidate promoting the “welfare” system.
I have enough money to buy your Bridge to Nowhere.
Have fun in the soup lines!

I don’t doubt that you do have all that money. I could tell from your thoughtful, intelligent posts that you were a wealthy, well-educated individual. I also discerned from your posts that you are also good at “spreading” stuff around!

Southern IL
Read the article. The original song references smoking weed. So Hank Williams Jr. is not only a sub-par country singer riding on his Dad’s talent, but also a drug user.
Like George W. Bush, cocaine user and noted drunk

I wonder how many Confederate soldiers and Confederate citizens are turning over in their grave? They never thought they would see the day. Neither did I.

angie,
GOOD to see you stray back AGAIN!
I guess you must be one of those elitists from WHORELYWOOD, right?
I am sure a REDNECK as a REDNECK can be.
Here is the tips:
1. We join our military to defend our country when call upon to serve.
2. We WORK hard to earn our keeps.
3. We CLING to our guns so that Obama and his national forces won’t be able to violate us.
4. We don’t FAKE ourselves to look like the WHORELYWOOD with more knife cuts and botox
5. Best of all, we LOVE and PROUD of our country every single day, not just WHEN it’s convenient.
Did you get all that? Yeap! I’m REDNECK.
So, Dont’ F$$K with me. “Them trailer trashs have GUNS”

well at least obama is an equal opportunity type of guy ask larry s.

“initiate a mandatory draft”
is that like what McCain has advocated?

I wonder how many of you neo-cons would be so supportive of McCain after he instigates the draft to support the wars he wants to fight. The again, I suppose you all think the poor will go willingly into his and Palin’s crusade.

Here is the RESPONSE of your candidate when there are NO teleprompters around.
Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
He don’t want to punish the plumber success! Wow what a concept. And he wants to make SURE that everybody behind him have a chance for success, too. Duh.. It’s called COMPETITION, moron!
It’s GOOD when you SPREAD the wealth around. Wow, Can I take money from Oprah, George Soros, Hollywood elistists, and Bruce Springteen and the SAME?
That’s COMMUNISM and he knows THAT!

i can see the obama military of the future- long pink dresses with the O symbol on your backs and flowers in your hair flashing little peace signs as your meet your maker. don’t worry we will be hanging lots of yellow ribbons and laughing our asses off as we recruit your little wimpy butts to serve your master.

JR,
WTF, are you a DRAFT dodger?
It’s a priviledge to SERVE your country, moron!
What do you want to do? Go hug and kiss Sadam Hussein, Osama Bn Laden?
Oh. I get it… You want to SIT down and have a talk with them and ASK them not to BOMB the hell out of you.
Well, it might work only if hell freeze is over.

Voter In America, I served my country, probably much longer than you ever did, but that doesn’t have anything to do with anything, America is a land of LAWS, laws for everybody not just the neo-cons. If you can’t get that through your head, then maybe YOUR in the wrong country.

Hank is just a dumbass. He’s a good ole dope smokin whiskey drinkin man that the GOP absoutley hates. He’ voting against his best wishes. Dumb ass

Southern IL,
Here is your post:
Why do you McCain supporters use all caps? It is really annoying and disrespectful to those trying to communicate in a rational, constructive manner.
Never mind. I answered my own question.”
“I wasn’t talking about you…it isn’t all about you.
I was speaking about other posters…
Try to stay focused.”
As you can see I am totally FOCUS!

“It those rednecks they sure know whats good for america YOU BETCHA WINK WINK!”
Last time I checked that would be the statement of a bigot…Angie who is really the redneck here

“Hank is just a dumbass. He’s a good ole dope smokin whiskey drinkin man that the GOP absoutley hates. He’ voting against his best wishes. Dumb ass”
Well said redneck, oops, I mean Intellectual Obama supporter

JR it is the poor white redneck as some of you call us that make up the bulk of the military and have for years…
now it will be your turn sweetie. as or me now i can pursue a career as a recruiter. nothing will make me happier than to recruit obama supprters. you guys are perfect fodder young, and willing to follow. obama has already admitted that the military needs to expand.
oh i forgot you guys believe that obama will end all wars for all times and the world will fall at the altar of obama and surrender their weapons in exchange for a flower.

To Southern IL,
“I don’t doubt that you do have all that money. I could tell from your thoughtful, intelligent posts that you were a wealthy, well-educated individual. I also discerned from your posts that you are also good at “spreading” stuff around!”
Thanks for your COMPLIMENTS!
But the honor of “SPREADING STUFF AROUND” will be reserved for your candidate. Remember that answer he gave the plumber… “SPREAD” around!

JR,
I am DISAPPOINTED in you!
You can do BETTER than that.
Come on… Give me specifics.
If I tell you that you BROKE the laws, you would ask me what laws did you break?
So, if “my party” you called it broke the laws, can you cite specific cases?
Being a Veteran, you SHOULD know better than that. Orders are ALWAYS specific.

Hank’s redneck goes all the way down to the crack of his a$$. What a dumbass

“shut the puck up before somebody does it for you”
I’ll tell you what Jim, you post your address and I’ll come over and we’ll see who get their ass kicked.

“Semper all the way”
they don’t call them JARHEADS for no reason.

JR,
Now, you really make me LOWER my standards for you. (A Veteran ALWAYS respects another Veteran). But, you are either IGNORANT or PLAIN DUMB (I could call you STUPID).
Wiretaps were AUTHORIZED by Congress (the last time I checked, it DEMs have the MAJORITY). This wiretap was born out of the 9/11 (Remember those guys who met their Allah with all the DEAD virgins) to protect American People.
Restricting voting in MINORITY areas. Well, what areas, where? you mean the DEMS let it slip by without raising the issues. That’s a MIRACLE.
UNLAWFUL and IMMORAL? Well, you still did not tell me what UNLAWFUL and IMMORAL? Maybe a sex-scandal? Maybe Barney Frank has a little breakdown with his lover at Fannie Mae? WHAT?

“I’ll tell you what Jim, you post your address and I’ll come over and we’ll see who get their ass kicked.”
Jr you’d be a dead man walking…no ifs ands or butts it
I’m at Lttle creek Virginia NSWeast group 2… make a will, I promise that would be the smartest thing you could do

I’m sorry Jim, but “Lttle creek Virginia NSWeast group 2″ isn’t an address that my GPS recognizes. Why don’t you give me a simple street address?
I’ll so you what hurt is “my friend”

I heard that your mother stopped doing tricks at the truck stop, how are you getting by without the income Jim?

JR,
You aren’t in my league!
Sorry, pal… Wake up before it’s too late.
I don’t want to waste my times with you.

post yours sissy boy

You made the threat Jim, post your first.

Ahhhh, little Jimmy has had second thoughts, like he ever had a thought in the first place. That’s the secret of fighting neo-cons, they’re all cowards a heart.

Ahhhh, little Jimmy has had second thoughts,
Now kiss me and tell me you love me…
C’mon grandpa, You libtards like little boys

This is embarrassing. When did something that should be dignified and important turn into a reality show? The world is in frickin’ chaos, and they’re all heehaw’in and knee-slappin’ with ignorance. Yeah, that’s exactly what we want in the White House.

McCain / Palin 08
I was there and Hank was great, everyone was positive and courteous. John and Sarah seemed and looked refreshed and high spirited.

– Like a Mama bear in Idaho
She’ll protect your family’s condition –
Sounds like a reference to Palin and her eventual graduation from the U. of Idaho?
How is she going to protect my family’s condition when she can’t even protect her own? By violating ethic laws?

This whole posting is an embarassment to the freedoms that American men and women fight and die for everyday. Soldiers fight for your right to open your mouth and remove any doubt that you are an idiot! Grow UP! Your vote is your loudest voice, use it and shut up arguing like little boys on the playground! I am Kitchen6 to a former 19d and current Sheriff’s deputy who risks his life everyday and you guys squabbling like children explains why our country is going to hell in a handbasket.

I want to thank you ashamed, for understanding the real meaning behind all of these stupid comments. We are all americans and need to act like it. Yea, we disagree and have the right to do so, but keep the talk to simple adult conversations instead of stupid bickoring.

Conservatives are just old liberals

Hmm, so now Palin is momma bear. I thought she was the pi’ss’bull with lipstick. What zoo creature will she turn tomorrow into? A frog?
But wait, I know why this is so. They’re trying to win by getting all animals to vote for them! Hm, that doesn’t work either ’cause Ms Terrier shoots animals.
What a mess, what a mess..

Bush and Cheney committed TREASON against the USA–
ILLEGAL WARS, exposing CIA spies, politicizing the DOJ (illegally) and using “executive privilege” to stop their stooges from testifying UNDER OATH.
McBuah and the HACKEY ma’am are SUPPORTERS of this TREASON, and so are TRAITORS to the USA as well.
Obama/Biden 08/12

Wow, really?
I bet theres a collective 12th grade education here.
Jesus would be ashamed of all of you, honestly.

It is so refreshing to have someone tell it like it is!

Whoever exposed the nut-job wack-os that always show up for McCain/Palin was a genius! It’s all over you tube; these psychos spouting all their misinformation and hatred and divisiveness.
It will be the un-doing of the entire presidential race and it was close there for a while so that’s too bad. Or is it good?
Now we got Hank Williams Jr and these grade school lyrics serenading Sarah Palin? Her clapping and smiling along. Genius!

Wright 101
Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Rev. Wright’s anti-Americanism
By Stanley Kurtz
It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 1990s.
John McCain, take note. Obama’s tie to Wright is no longer a purely personal question (if it ever was one) about one man’s choice of his pastor. The fact that Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Wright’s anti-Americanism means that this is now a matter of public policy, and therefore an entirely legitimate issue in this campaign.
African Village
In the winter of 1996, the Coalition for Improved Education in [Chicago’s] South Shore (CIESS) announced that it had received a $200,000 grant from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. That made CIESS an “external partner,” i.e. a community organization linked to a network of schools within the Chicago public system. This network, named the “South Shore African Village Collaborative” was thoroughly “Afrocentric” in orientation. CIESS’s job was to use a combination of teacher-training, curriculum advice, and community involvement to improve academic performance in the schools it worked with. CIESS would continue to receive large Annenberg grants throughout the 1990s.
The South Shore African Village Collaborative (SSAVC) was very much a part of the Afrocentric “rites of passage movement,” a fringe education crusade of the 1990s. SSAVC schools featured “African-Centered” curricula built around “rites of passage” ceremonies inspired by the puberty rites found in many African societies. In and of themselves, these ceremonies were harmless. Yet the philosophy that accompanied them was not. On the contrary, it was a carbon-copy of Jeremiah Wright’s worldview.
Rites of Passage
To learn what the rites of passage movement was all about, we can turn to a sympathetic 1992 study published in the Journal of Negro Education by Nsenga Warfield-Coppock. In that article, Warfield-Coppock bemoans the fact that public education in the United States is shaped by “capitalism, competitiveness, racism, sexism and oppression.” According to Warfield-Coppock, these American values “have confused African American people and oriented them toward American definitions of achievement and success and away from traditional African values.” American socialization has “proven to be dysfuntional and genocidal to the African American community,” Warfield-Coppock tells us. The answer is the adolescent rites of passage movement, designed “to provide African American youth with the cultural information and values they would need to counter the potentially detrimental effects of a Eurocentrically oriented society.”
The adolescent rites of passage movement that flowered in the 1990s grew out of the “cultural nationalist” or “Pan-African” thinking popular in radical black circles of the 1960s and 1970s. The attempt to create a virtually separate and intensely anti-American black social world began to take hold in the mid-1980s in small private schools, which carefully guarded the contents of their controversial curricula. Gradually, through external partners like CIESS, the movement spread to a few public schools. Supporters view these programs as “a social and cultural ‘inoculation’ process that facilitates healthy, African-centered development among African American youth and protects them against the ravages of a racist, sexist, capitalist, and oppressive society.”
We know that SSAVC was part of this movement, not only because their Annenberg proposals were filled with Afrocentric themes and references to “rites of passage,” but also because SSAVC’s faculty set up its African-centered curriculum in consultation with some of the most prominent leaders of the “rites of passage movement.” For example, a CIESS teacher conference sponsored a presentation on African-centered curricula by Jacob Carruthers, a particularly controversial Afrocentrist.
Jacob Carruthers
Like other leaders of the rites of passage movement, Carruthers teaches that the true birthplace of world civilization was ancient “Kemet” (Egypt), from which Kemetic philosophy supposedly spread to Africa as a whole. Carruthers and his colleagues believe that the values of Kemetic civilization are far superior to the isolating and oppressive, ancient Greek-based values of European and American civilization. Although academic Egyptologists and anthropologists strongly reject these historical claims, Carruthers dismisses critics as part of a white supremacist conspiracy to hide the truth of African superiority.
Carruthers’s key writings are collected in his book, Intellectual Warfare. Reading it is a wild, anti-American ride. In his book, we learn that Carruthers and his like-minded colleagues have formed an organization called the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations (ASCAC), which takes as its mission the need to “dismantle the European intellectual campaign to commit historicide against African peoples.” Carruthers includes “African-Americans” within a group he would define as simply “African.” When forced to describe a black person as “American,” Carruthers uses quotation marks, thus indicating that no black person can be American in any authentic sense. According to Carruthers, “The submission to Western civilization and its most outstanding offspring, American civilization, is, in reality, surrender to white supremacy.”
Carruthers’s goal is to use African-centered education to recreate a separatist universe within America, a kind of state-within-a-state. The rites of passage movement is central to the plan. Carruthers sees enemies on every part of the political spectrum, from conservatives, to liberals, to academic leftists, all of whom reject advocates of Kemetic civilization, like himself, as dangerous and academically irresponsible extremists. Carruthers sees all these groups as deluded captives of white supremacist Eurocentric culture. Therefore the only safe place for Africans living in the United States (i.e. American blacks) is outside the mental boundaries of our ineradicably racist Eurocentric civilization. As Carruthers puts it: “…some of us have chosen to reject the culture of our oppressors and recover our disrupted ancestral culture.” The rites of passage movement is a way to teach young Africans in the United States how to reject America and recover their authentic African heritage.
America as Rape
Carruthers admits that Africans living in America have already been shaped by Western culture, yet compares this Americanization process to rape: “We may not be able to get our virginity back after the rape, but we do not have to marry the rapist….” In other words, American blacks (i.e. Africans) may have been forcibly exposed to American culture, but that doesn’t mean they need to accept it. The better option, says Carruthers, is to separate out and relearn the wisdom of Africa’s original Kemetic culture, embodied in the teachings of the ancient wise man, Ptahhotep (an historical figure traditionally identified as the author of a Fifth Dynasty wisdom book). Anything less than re-Africanization threatens the mental, and even physical, genocide of Africans living in an ineradicably white supremacist United States.
Carruthers is a defender of Leonard Jeffries, professor in the department of black studies at City College in Harlem, infamous for his black supremacist and anti-Semitic views. Jeffries sees whites as oppressive and violent “ice people,” in contrast to peaceful and mutually supportive black “sun people.” The divergence says Jeffries, is attributable to differing levels of melanin in the skin. Jeffries also blames Jews for financing the slave trade. Carruthers defends Jeffries and excoriates the prestigious black academics Carruthers views as traitorous for denouncing their African brother, Jeffries. Carruthers’s vision of the superior and peaceful Kemetic philosophy of Ptahhotep triumphing over Greco-Euro-American-white culture obviously parallels Jeffries’ opposition between ice people and sun people.
More of Carruthers’s education philosophy can be found in his newsletter, The Kemetic Voice. In 1997, for example, at the same time Carruthers was advising SSAVC on how to set up an African-centered curriculum, he praised the decision of New Orleans’ School Board to remove the name of George Washington from an elementary school. Apparently, some officials in New Orleans had decided that nobody who held slaves should have a school named after him. Carruthers touted the name-change as proof that his African-centered perspective was finally having an effect on public policy. At the demise of George Washington School, Carruthers crowed: “These events remind us of how vast the gulf is that separates the Defenders of Western Civilization from the Champions of African Civilization.”
According to Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, Carruthers’s training session on African-centered curricula for SSAVC teachers was a huge hit: “As a consciousness raising session, it received rave reviews, and has prepared the way for the curriculum readiness survey….” These teacher-training workshops were directly funded by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Another sure sign of the ideological cast of SSAVC’s curriculum can be found in Annenberg documents noting that SSAVC students are taught the wisdom of Ptahhotep. Carruthers’s concerns about “menticide” and “genocide” at the hand of America’s white supremacist system seem to be echoed in an SSAVC document that says: “Our children need to understand the historical context of our struggles for liberation from those forces that seek to destroy us.”
When Jeremiah Wright turned toward African-centered thinking in the late 1980s and early 1990s (the period when, attracted by Wright’s African themes, Barack Obama first became a church member), many prominent thinkers from Carruthers’s Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations were invited to speak at Trinity United Church of Christ, Carruthers himself included. We hear echoes of Carruthers’s work in Wright’s distinction between “right brained” Africans and “left brained” Europeans, in Wright’s fears of U.S. government-sponsored genocide against American blacks, and in Wright’s embittered attacks on America’s indelibly white-supremacist history. In Wright’s Trumpet Newsmagazine, as in Carruthers’s own writings, blacks are often referred to as “Africans living in the diaspora” rather than as Americans.
Asa Hilliard
Chicago Annenberg Challenge records also indicate that SSAVC educators invited Asa Hilliard, a pioneer of African-centered curricula and a close colleague of Carruthers, to offer a keynote address at yet another Annenberg-funded teacher training session. Hilliard’s ties to Wright run still deeper than Carruthers’s. A close Wright mentor and friend, Hilliard died in 2007 while on a trip to Kemet (Egypt) with Wright and members of Wright’s congregation. Hillard was scheduled to deliver several lectures to the congregants, and to speak at a meeting of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilization, which he co-founded with Carruthers and other “African-centered” scholars. On that last trip, Hilliard accepted an appointment to the board of Wright’s new elementary school, Kwame Nkrumah Academy. Speaking of the need for such a school, Wright had earlier said, “We need to educate our children to the reality of white supremacy.” (For more on Wright’s Afrocentric school, see “Jeremiah Wright’s ‘Trumpet.’”)
Wright delivered the eulogy at Hilliard’s memorial service, with prominent members of ASCAC in the audience. To commemorate Hilliard, a special, two-cover double issue of Wright’s Trumpet Newsmagazine was published, with a picture of Hilliard on one side, and a picture of Louis Farrakhan on the other (in celebration of a 2007 award Farrakhan received from Wright). In short, the ties between Wright and Hilliard could hardly have been closer. Clearly, then, Wright’s own educational philosophy was mirrored at the Annenberg-funded SSAVC, which sought out Hilliard’s and Carruthers’s counsel to construct its curriculum.
Perhaps inadvertently, Wright’s eulogy for Hilliard actually established the fringe nature of his favorite African-centered scholars. In his tribute, Wright stressed how intensely “white Egyptologists recoiled at the very notion of everything Asa taught.” As Wright himself made plain, it seems virtually impossible to find respectable scholars of any political stripe who approve of the extremist anti-American version of Afrocentrism promoted by Hilliard and Carruthers.
Ayers’s Pals
An important exception to the rule is Bill Ayers himself, who not only worked with Obama to fund groups like this at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, but who is still “palling around” with the same folks. Discretely waiting until after the election, Bill Ayers and his wife, and fellow former terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn plan to release a book in 2009 entitled Race Course Against White Supremacy. The book will be published by Third World Press, a press set up by Carruthers and other members of the ASCAC. Representatives of that press were prominently present for Wright’s eulogy at Asa Hilliard’s memorial service. Less than a decade ago, therefore, when it came to education issues, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright were pretty much on the same page.
Obama’s Knowledge
Given the precedent of his earlier responses on Ayers and Wright, Obama might be inclined to deny personal knowledge of the educational philosophy he was so generously funding. Such a denial would not be convincing. For one thing, we have evidence that in 1995, the same year Obama assumed control of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he publicly rejected “the unrealistic politics of integrationist assimilation,” a stance that clearly resonates with both Wright and Carruthers. (See “No Liberation.”)
And as noted, Wright had invited Carruthers, Hilliard, and like-minded thinkers to address his Trinity congregants. Wright likes to tick off his connections to these prominent Afrocentrists in sermons, and Obama would surely have heard of them. Reading over SSAVC’s Annenberg proposals, Obama could hardly be ignorant of what they were about. And if by some chance Obama overlooked Hilliard’s or Carruthers’s names, SSAVC’s proposals are filled with references to “rites of passage” and “Ptahhotep,” dead giveaways for the anti-American and separatist ideological concoction favored by SSAVC.
We know that Obama did read the proposals. Annenberg documents show him commenting on proposal quality. And especially after 1995, when concerns over self-dealing and conflicts of interest forced the Ayers-headed “Collaborative” to distance itself from monetary issues, all funding decisions fell to Obama and the board. Significantly, there was dissent within the board. One business leader and experienced grant-smith characterized the quality of most Annenberg proposals as “awful.” (See “The Chicago Annenberg Challenge: The First Three Years,” p. 19.) Yet Obama and his very small and divided board kept the money flowing to ideologically extremist groups like the South Shore African Village Collaborative, instead of organizations focused on traditional educational achievement.
As if the content of SSAVC documents wasn’t warning enough, their proposals consistently misspelled “rites of passage” as “rights of passage,” hardly an encouraging sign from a group meant to improve children’s reading skills. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s own evaluators acknowledged that Annenberg-aided schools showed no improvement in achievement scores. Evaluators attributed that failure, in part, to the fact that many of Annenberg’s “external partners” had little educational expertise. A group that puts its efforts into Kwanzaa celebrations and half-baked history certainly fits that bill, and goes a long way toward explaining how Ayers and Obama managed to waste upwards of $150 million without improving student achievement.
However he may seek to deny it, all evidence points to the fact that, from his position as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Barack Obama knowingly and persistently funded an educational project that shared the extremist and anti-American philosophy of Jeremiah Wright. The Wright affair was no fluke. It’s time for McCain to say so.

Nice plagiarism…my case in point.

I love McCain, Palin, and Hank!! After reading some of the comments on this page, I feel like I have just entered the liberal, communist part of hell. And I think that Sr. would have been proud of his son. Not all people are left-wing idiots!!!!!!!!

Hank, another great job!. I am voting that one HOT babe….Palin. I want her post pin-up in my room too. LOVE her.
McCain loves his country. Bama doesn’t know where his country is. Since his wife was never proud to be an American, what country is she proud to be part of. Somalia maybe?

I ain’t voting for Obama. He a Muslam terrorist.
Victory will be ares.

Richmond VA rules! Well, not really, since the Confederation lost the Civil War and all. In fact, our whole culture since Restoration has been a bunch of dumb, sore losers wrong on almost every issue in modern America. That’s OK, I still hate stuff!
Red States = Dead States.

“What better representation of what the GOP stands for than a NASCAR event, the single most race-exclusive sport in our society.”
Like the NFL?

Obama the magic negro is going to prison.
I’m Tony Rezko and I approve this message.

A Country Boy Can Survive!
I feel sorry on those depending on the government to ‘fix’ this mess. The ‘progressive’ social engineering they believe in on only makes it worse.

GO SARAH GO!

ABC is a joke!

All you commies can leave this country and take all the other commies with you !!!!! If it weren’t for rednecks you wouldn’t be living in America, stupid !!!!!

Why do you lie?
And why do forge votes?
why do you try to live out the
songs Pete Seeger wrote?
Why tell me why
did I get in this condition?
If I get stoned and whine all night long
its just a li-ber-al tradition.

These are adults…. How sad…….

Where have you been, Buckeye? The media has gone over and over Obama’s relationship w/ ACORN. What hasn’t been reported is McCain’s accolades for ACORN 2 years ago as their 2006 Keynote speaker. Do your homework.
PS–The “liberal” media is owned by money grubbing corporations. The media is not liberal. It is just called that when it tells the truth & bothers to go further than reporting soundbites. You betcha!

WHEN YOU LEFTY CITIFIED FOLKS VOTE FOR NOBAMA AND WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOOD OL’ AMERICA YOU LIVE IN, THE COUNTRY FOUNDED UNDER “GOD” WITH CHRISTIAN BELIEFS;DON’T COME TO MY DOOR WANTING FOOD OR MONEY…YOU KNOW HANK JR. SAID “A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE”..AND THIS OL’ COUNTRY MAMA CAN AND WILL…

Hank Williams, Jr,., is just another ignorant redneck, i.e., a perfect example of the Republican base.

not a huge country fan, but hank is EXACTLY RIGHT! Obama is a JOKE! complete JOKE! He is bed buddies with terrorists, he’s arrogant, and now he wants to be a socialist robin-hood. he’s going to take money from you if you make a decent living and earmark it for all we know.

“Family tradition,” a song with lyrics about drinking and smoking marijuana
Yeah, that old GOP “American Value” favorite.
Funny how much Hank JR has in common with pothead crackhead obama!

What a hoot. A guy writes new words to his own song to show his support for his presidential choice, and the libs have a cow! But when their singers do the same it is considered ingenious. You clowns are a joke and definitely intellectually lazy.

Oh and since Bon Jovi, Heart, Foo Fighters, and on and on goes the list of music makers who were so rude about playing their crap music at McCain Palin rallies DIDN’T approve, I say Hank may have a money making hit on his nands and the lib az wh ol es have nothing.
NEVER OBAMA…down with rock and roll lib elite.

Way to go Hank! I have always loved ya, but this is just totally awesome.If these Muslim loving idiots don’t like Hank.. well they can just kiss me @ss. I’ll just hang on to my religion and my guns.. and will use them if I have to. I will not bow down to Obama..who Farrakhan calls the Messiah.. Barack Hussain Obama is not the Messiah,, and Farrakhan is not Jesus Christ, as he so claims.

Since the Obama worshippers seem not to know about Obama’s promised policies, what he hasn’t done in the past or anything to do with who he is as a person, maybe ol’ Hank can crack those noggins with some sense.
How are so many being duped by someone they knew nothing about two years ago, has extremely costly program ideas, wants to march us to war in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Darfur and whose past is otherwise beyond discussion??????
I guess they’re thinking is that what they don’t know won’t hurt them. Think again!

Defender of what?
You are right about one thing. The Dead are for His Obamination blessed HUSSEIN Obama and they register to vote in droves by ACORN.
=======================================
Consider the source. ……………. When it comes to music, Obama has Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, John Mellencamp, The Dead and the list goes on and on and on…

The idea that this country has gone so for liberal is sad because my children will not have a chance to grow up in a society where there destiny is in there own hands. The people here who are saying ies are being spewed about Obama are the same people who want the handout. Just because your so quick to let hard working people support you is no excuse for ignorance. Just like you rely on government to take care of you, you rely on abc, nbc, and cbs for your facts. You know that when society does go your way, Obama and the liberals are not going to allow you to voice your complaints. People in China have tried, people in Venazeula have tried. I have led a good life but my kids wont have a chance because liberals have ruined, not a perfect society by any means, but what was the best society there was.

What do we have to do to get this talent-less, inbred, disgusting hick off of the television.
I hope hank gets hit by a truck like yesterday.
Fack him and fack his mother.

TO KENNY<
go back to south park where you get killed every night and for once stay that way!lol when you wink the guys kick your stupid a$$ hahahaha how much money have you made with your idea of a rhyme?hanks turned millions and helped many people. get a life and die!lol

Wow! With all the name-calling and obscenities, this thread is scarier than both campaigns put together.
This IS an important election, but it’s also turning out to be one of the most angry, ugly and divisive.
Combine that with our growing fear that the economy might TOTALLY tank and then what?
If we’ve reached the point where most every online political discussion is filled with vicious insults and threats of violence, what’s going to happen when we finally get the election results ?
Add to all THAT: what if the election results are again strongly disputed, like in 2000?
If our emotions ever actually do cause violence to break out across the country, guess what?
We ALL LOSE the election!
Because faster than you can say “habeus corpus,” Bush will declare martial law and then write an executive order to keep himself in office indefinitely!
(Totally preposterous scenario, I know . . . or rather, I hope. Remember when he joked that “dictator is better” ?)

I found it interresting that Dee Tee Gee would compair the daddy of Bristol’s baby to the daddy of one of Obamao’s daughters babies. I recall it was Obama who said if his daughter made a mistake he would not want his daughter punished with a baby. Let’s remember who we are dealing with here.

Hey jRob.. you are right.. Obama wouldn’t let his daughter have a baby.. He would have it SLAUGHTERED.. with an abortion.. and if by chance GOd let it live through the abortion,, he would tell the doctors to deny medical treatment. That’s the demonicrat party.. the OBAMANATION… he needs to be tortured and hung from the highest tree and so do his Islamic supporters.. I will hang on tight to my Faith in the real God and my guns… and I Will be ready to blow any of you demoncrats away if I have to…put that in your ACORN CRACKPIPE AND SMOKE IT.. while you are in line at the soup kitchen, getting your handout that us taxpayers paid for.. you liberals are PATHETIC.. you deserve to bow down to Ayers, and REV. wright, and FARRAKHAN.. FARRAKHAN SAID THAT HE IS JESUS CHRIST.. lol..you can take that mark of the BEAST any day now PAL>

civil War has begun.. get ready to wipe out all them OBAMA idiots.. hel. yeah!

This was one of the funniest and saddest displays I’ve seen in some time. So if (God help us) McCain/Palin won, would they ditch Air Force One and start driving a NASCAR car around? Maybe the General Lee?

Jrob.. when you get out of the 5th. grade and you’re 19, then maybe you will learn how to spell. You are a perfect, prime example of a Obama supporting liberal moron. Did Acorn purchase your vote with some CRACK Cocaine? Did Obama promise mommy that she don’t have to sell her hoe on the street anymo????? Did daddy get shot in the hood??? LMAO@uidiots.

These comments show that the GOP is the party of racists and violent idiots. No wonder it’s headed the way of the Whigs.

Abortion is an Abomination. Liberals are the hands that are quick to shed innocent blood, spoken about in the Bible.

Abortion is mentioned as an abomination in Proverbs 6:17. My question is what about all of the hands involved? The doctors of course are guilty. I think that they ones who sign their ok. on papers are guilty too. Their hands are supporting it. Think about how you use your hand to vote. How can anyone who cliams to be decent punch for a demo or pull a liberal lever on election day? JIm Bob must believe that Obama is the Messiah.. and think that he told the truth about our troops doing airraids on villages… Obama is just another liberal liar. Liars are mentioned to in Proverbs 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among the brethren. This is alos an abomination to God.. Obamanation yes he is! Sad but true.

“I don’t think that I want my tax dollars supporting the liberals drug habit.”
Liberals with drug habits like Rush Limbaugh and Cindy McCain?

The “Whitewater murders,” Hankfan? “Arabic terrorists” donating to Obama?
You are deranged.

John,
The proper thing to do would be to offer you the argument as to why your post is full of errors and myths, but I’m not in the mood to be proper.
You, and people like you, are low intelligence, low information, gullible and paranoid. You’re religiously extremist, xenophobic yahoos. You believe all of the garbage you hear on Fox “News” and Rush Limbaugh’s B.S. show. You say you’re a Democrat, which I doubt, but if you are, please do us real Democrats a favor and formally switch parties. We Democrats don’t want your kind in our party: low intelligence, ignorant, deranged, paranoid. Get lost, vote Republican, and if you’re not rich, suffer the consequences if the GOP wins.

I agree with you John. He is a dirty Turd, just like the one that slashed the lady’s face in Pittsburg today! These Obama supporters are pathetic!

I feel sorry for all the people who combine church with politics. That is what Muslims do, and I see Americans,Canadians, Britons, and other UN countries breaking God’s rule of “Thou shalt not kill”. I do not understand people standing in front of clinics screaming at young women who have been betrayed by men. It is a choice that God/Jesus gave them and it is them who will judge, not you!!!!Teach your sons to respect women, teach them to not let their “penis” brain do the thinking for them. Teach your children the end result of intercouse even just once can result in pregnancy. Leave off Obama’s platform plank that gives women the right to think for themselves and the right to do as they need. I also do not see those screaming fanatics adopting the children they “save”!!! Instead they scream some more about single mothers living on the welfare rolls. Sheesh! Which way do you want it???? Abortion or Welfare, either way you are angry!!!!!
Here’s a thought-put chastity belts on all your kids and leave it on until their wedding night!!!

I cannot believe so many people have been conned by a man that admits he wants to spread the wealth leading us into socialism, raise our taxes which will put us into a depression, raise taxes on our big business which will send more of them out of the country & the extra cost be added on to the products we buy. Have any of these liberals studied any history,remembered anything that we were taught in grammer school & in high school like government & economics? Do they know what socialism is & that the next step is communism. What do they think Russia is?Are there no longer any free thinkers with a brain?

Elaine, calm down. Taxation is not socialism. Obama plans to reverse the Republican tax policy that redistributed money from the middle class and working poor, up to the rich. Instead, Obama wants to cut taxes for the middle class and poor, and raise them on the rich. Why does it bother you to see money flowing downward instead of upward? Or, are you happy to live in a country where tax policy is designed to make the rich richer, and the rest of our poorer?

What absolutely AMAZING comments!
For instance:
* “The real Christ will take care of Obama”
* “this Obama Muslim is pure demonic force of SATAN.”
* “Ayers needs to be hun. from the highest tree.”
* “Farrakhan needs to be castarated too.. cut him f.g nuts off.”
* “get ready to wipe out all them OBAMA idiots.. hel. yeah!”
* “GO FIGURE.. A bLACK niG.A!”
* “White Power!”
* “RUN NIG..S RUN.. WE GOT OUR RELIGION AND OUR GUNS”
Reading so much hatred, intolerance, ignorance and downright boneheadedness was at first completely horrifying.
But then, it was suddenly so clear — this whole thread is just one big, carefully designed publicity stunt for a new book, isn’t it?
Of course! It’s a new book, cleverly written in the form of one long chat thread filled with comments from ignorant, misguided, misinformed morons, each of whom KNOWS for a FACT that he or she is telling “THE TRUTH.”
The end of the book is very sad: the financial system collapses completely, paper money no longer has any value, and when the election turns violent, martial law is declared, resulting in hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens being sent to “work camps.”
In short, America is completely destroyed . . . but not by any silly, cave-dwelling terrorists.
It’s destroyed by the kind of people who posted the above truly insane comments, apparently because they forgot — or never bothered to learn — the accurate definitions of terms like “democracy,” “patriotism,” and “real American.”
We don’t need to worry about bin Laden, or even the accursed Liberals. Based on the comments here, we can destroy our country perfectly well on our own, thank you.

I guess you can add this to another stupid thing that Hank Jr. has done.
But he’s rich you see and,
that why he’s against you and me.
He just wants a another tax cut.
So the po’ folk can pay more for his butt.
Over and over, ol’ Hank’s dad is in grave turnin’
guess that why
You can see that I’ll be
Hank’s records a burnin’

OHIO4McCain, you’re about as Christian as Osama Bin Laden. You wield your religion like a weapon, and you espouse hate, not love.
By the way, the United States is not a Christian nation. It is a multi-religious (including nonreligious) nation with a secular government — whether you like it or not.

For Junipers’ mom: 2nd Thessalonians 3:11 states. ” For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”

I agree with gun totin redneck. Any of you can get a free ride back home if you don’t like it here. You can be with your own kind and would smell good to them too. Maybe you could get a good case of that jungle fever! Hey you could even spread some stuff around too! Who’s ya daddy?

I think about all the money I spent on Hank Concerts and CD’s it makes me sick. He’s one generation from poor white trash! Does he think McCain/Palin has any of his music or attended any of his shows? Does he think Republicans were spending there money on him? They probably didnt know who he is. Must be nice to be born into money!Stay off the pot Hank and remember who got you were you are. I for one will never spend another dime on your music or attending another of your shows. You Dad would be ashamed!!

You can choose which is the lesser of two evils – either way the Devil wins. This country is never going to be the same, no matter who is in office. Something has seriously come unhinged in the psyche of the public and there is simply no going back. Watching and listening to both sides, I’m sickened. All anyone wants to do anymore, from the politicians to their toadies, is hurl insults and dig up dirt, as though anyone – ANYONE – is without sin. God help us.

cc your a piece of work up their in san diego you must be a homo just like your im proud to be a redneck how come its ok for blacks to be racist not whites, thats what i thought they all are just a racist as whites …….time for a 2nd cival war

well danna
you just voted for a muslim. what has this country come down to when we sell out to terrorist.
I’m not a hank jr. fan but i totally agree with him!!!!

OBAMA=ANTICHRIST

Apparently the McCain base is made up of paranoid gun nuts, racists, religious extremists, and people who would have made perfect Nazis (all Muslims are terrorists, and they bake their bread with Christian babies’ blood.
OBAMA 2008!

Durian Joe: I have a college degree, and I support McCain.

BIRDS OF FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER, AND ALL OF OSAMA’S FRIENDS ARE RAVENS, VULTURES, AND BUZZARDS. WELL WHERE I COME WE SHOOT THEM. YOU CAN’T PICK YOUR FAMILY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN PICK YOUR FRIENDS. HE HAS SHOWN, EXACTLY WHO HIS FRIENDS ARE.

all you stupid ignorant OBAMA supporters got to be dumb, if you want your freedom and you want your guns and want to keep your money then you best change your ways, if you are a guy and you dont mind wearing a dress then you go vote for OBAMA. McCain/Palin for President!

Sportsmen for McCain are anglers, hunters, and conservationists, and we invite you to join our ranks to elect Senator John McCain as the 44th President of the United States. With the election rapidly approaching we must work together in order to unite our fellow sportsmen in support of John McCain. The decision for sportsmen is clear, but we must ensure that our friends understand why John McCain will protect our Second Amendment rights. John McCain understands that hunters and anglers are the first conservationists and without them, conservation as we know it will cease to exist. John McCain recognizes the importance of recruiting the next generation of hunters and anglers as well as maintaining those currently in our ranks. John McCain believes in multiple uses of public lands and knows that the revenue generated by the licenses and gear that we purchase is the life blood of state wildlife agencies. John McCain is the only choice for Sportsmen. John McCain is an angler; he knows the difference between spinning gear and a fly rod. John McCain knows firearms; he was trained with them throughout his years of service in the military. John McCain is the clear choice for Sportsmen in November and it is our responsibility to spread that message.

In West(by God) Virginia, we dig coal. We plan on digging coal for as long as it lasts. Yeah we ARE gun totin rednecks, and don’t forget it either. When you enjoy your electricity, thank a coal miner. Coal miners, truck drivers, waitresses, factory workers, etc. etc. we are the backbone of this nation. We just want to work and be free, and be left alone; however, this Obamanation is trying to ruin this entire nation. We won’t go down without a fight. God Bless John McCain and the people who will take the demon cat party out of WV. once and for all.

Good morning! For all you disappointed rightwingers, here’s some lyrics from a good old-fashioned American song to cheer you up:
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So lets sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go to Evil Librul Training Camp. The lessons include: how to confiscate people’s guns, how to redistribute all of their hard-earned wealth, and how to hire illegal immigrants to kidnap their children and send them to Gay Marxist Muslim re-education centers.
We’re coming for you! Booga Booga!

“It sounds on the tape like he sings: “Why do you hunt? God why do you fish? How can you be so smart and be such a good lookin’ dish?”"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Golly gee Hank, that thar Palin shore is wun SMART HONEY thar ain’t she?

Another Hank song say’s, “I’m gonna read you, I’m gonna read you your rights.. You’ve got a right to know that your gonna go go hell one of these black nights”. This little line is for all you Obama supporters—enjoy your King while you can–
