In Montana GOP Radio Ad, Hank Williams Jr. Hits Obama for “Bitter” Comment

The fact that republicans have to run ads in MT shows what a flawed terrible candidate McCain really is

The news is that the RNC has to go up in Montana.
Clinton only won MT in ’96 because Perot took Dole votes.
After that you have to go back to LBJ.

Did he sing “If the South Woulda Won the War, We Woulda Had It Made” during the ad?

wasn’t this guy right there singing for Bush Cheney?

Not all Montanan’s feel like Jr. in fact I’d bet he isn’t really from Montana but just imported himself there. We’re always getting a bunch of nuts that come there, spout off and do something stupid then people think Montana has nutty people. Not so, they’re all imports, Kazinski etc. Real Montanan’s are pretty free thinking and hard working and don’t need to be prejudice since they haven’t had a reason to dislike anyone. They mostly aren’t nut cases either though one or two crazy relatives might slip through. Max Baucus has represented us and we have a Democratic governor so Jr. is NOT speaking for us!

Obama is bitter, just like his radical minister that he sat and supposedly didn’t ‘hear’ for 20 years. The only reason he’s smiling so big these days is because he is thinking of the sweet revenge almost within his grasp.

Sounds like the McCain campaign is becoming bitter to me. Tell me are they promoting guns and religion today?

Amen to nearly all of the above posts. As some Montanans said during the “mad cow disease” scare of a few years ago, “At least our cows are sane?!

Wow attack ads agains Obama in Montana. I never thought that would happen.

the thing is the ad was probably cheap in Montana. Now it plays everywhere else for free.
thanks Jake,

Hey I used to like Hank but………. not anymore! I’m MONTANA born and raised! We have 2 democratic Senators a Gov thats a Demo. So Hank you can keep singing for McCain but I can tell you MONTANA IS GOING OBAMA! Oh by the way is McCain comming to Montana…. ever? Does he know where it is? Obama’s been here 7 times!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Heh. The ad is getting airplay all over the country on TV today–because McCain played it in Montana–a place no one expected him to play it.
Reminding everyone all over the country that Obama told Gun Rights and Christians that they were “Bitter and Clinging to their Guns”
So, some cheap air time in a tiny state…gets national air time for free and a ton of folks talking about the “Bitter, clingy” stuff again…and all you can thing is “bad for McCain”?
Will there be some that see it as desperate? Sure. But remember–this race at this point is about a few undecided voters in a few crucial battleground states. Airtime in Montana is far cheaper than buying it in all of the other states (PA, OH, VA)…so McCain killed many birds with one very small stone today.
And maybe reached some of those 6-11% of undecideds that remain.

geevil – Great minds my friend, great minds :)

Hey Jr…have another drink and go rock climbing again. All my rowdy friends are heading to the polls.

HERE we go again! McCain stabbing in the dark …. shifting focus to negative campaigning!
November 4th can’t come soon enough!
Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO….love the rationalizing right wingers who think its good that the RNC is spending money in MT.
But let’s take your claims at face value, maybe the RNC wouldn’t have needed to find such a cheap media market if they hadn’t blown $150K on Palin’s clothing.

kellie – Is the environment a big issue in Montana? I know Colorado citizens are pretty disturbed by the lack of Republican environmental policy and Palin’s belief Global warming is not man-made.

I thought Hank Williams Jr. died. Is this the resurrection of his career? Good a place as any I guess.

In 1975 Hank fell 500 feet down a mountain in Montana and landed on his head. Then after he recouperated he went to Alabama and supported George Wallace, having his picture taken with him and contributed money to him. He then wrote a song that says if the south had won the civil war, he (Hank) would have run for president of the confederate states. So that’s the base that McCain is playing to! No surprise here all around.

This stinks of Cindy calling in favors from all her druggy friends,they are using everything and everybody for they have no monies left,this is all a free b’s.

You know what is wrong with this whole McCain/Palin slamming Obama thing is, it is OLD NEWS, we have been thru the whole Obama is terrorist, Wright, no birth prove, no flag pin, bitter, guns…on and on tell we can all just puck! I turn my stations when his stupid ads come on. I don’t care anymore, I am sick of hearing about it all. HIllary was enough, she made the points, McCain does not need to copy her. McCain has no policies to give to us, he can’t even find a new attack that will work, he is an empty suite.

geevill, did j-z and p-diddy where were they born? I think thy are American too!
so what are you saying?….

I am from Montana and can tell you that Mr. Williams DOES NOT speak for Montanans. We are not “backword” people that are worried about losing our guns….like everyone else we are more worried about losing homes, retirements, healthcare, and JOBS!!! He might live here part time but he IS NOT A MONTANAN!!!! To answer another posters question, yes, we are concerned about the environment. We are watching a national treasure melt (Glacier National Park) and we are also concerned about stream access laws (thanks to guys like Mr. Williams who buy up HUGE chunks of land and think that they OWN the stream they live on and put up fences so “others” can’t fish there!) and other environmental issues such as drilling, clean coal, wind and solar power. Also, since we are a rural state, transportation is a issue we are also concerned about. Just because we are a rural state doesn’t mean that we don’t have the same issues as someone in NY, Chicago or LA. (as much as the repubs would like to believe we are gun toting religious nuts!) We also worry about the rising cost of sending our kids to college and after they get their education most kids have to move away due to lack of jobs to help them pay off the massive debt of student loans. I pay the price to live in Montana, I am a native and returned here to raise my child and can’t believe what has happened to my state due to people like Mr. Williams that think they “know” Montana. If you want to hear from a “real” Montanan, read a little about Gov. Schweitzer, Sen. Baucus, and Sen. Tester….TRUE MONTANANS!

The last time I saw Old Hank Jr. he was drunk & stoned and fell off stage in Houston. I’ve got as much respect for him as I do for a cockroach.

Wow…Hank Williams, a drunken lout from yesteryear pormoting another relic from a past era. That’s what I call a ringing endorsement….but I’m not sure if it’s the bathtub or toilet ring….

You are only “an American” if you we’re born on American soil, and claim to be “an American”. If you claim to be an “Irish American”, a “Native American”, an “African American”,… you don’t count. So think about what you claim to be. Think about what your allegiences are. Are you an American first and “everything else” second? Here’s a hint. Read Washington’s fairwell address. They read it on the floor of the Senate every year. Too bad none of our current crop of self-serving lawyer politicians hangs aorund to listen to it. They might learn something about dividing and destroying a country. However, they’ve all decided to ignore wisdom and learn the hard way,… by actually destroying the country.

Hank was live in Nashville last night
put on quite a show when Titans beat Colts. He is not dead nor washed up.

Hank Williams what a guy!! really want his advice not!

Everyone has the right to vote for who ever they want no matter whether their candidates associations are all terrorists,crimimals,haters or radicals.
As for an endorsement, Colin Powell said Senator Steven’s character was “STERLING” and then backed Obama. Shows you never really know people like you think you do.

Jody:
Drug and alcohol abuse only matters if it is done by a Republican. Same as extramarital affairs. See: Vera Baker.
And…a woman can only be a Feminist if she is a Liberal Democrat who believes abortion up to the moment of birth is A-OK.
Some Republicans in Effigy is Art…Democrats in Effigy is Hate Speech.
The Double-standard Hypocrisy has become nearly endless this campaign cycle. As the media does what it can to dilute the 1st Amendment…

How soon you forget. BHO had a little drug problem himself.

Doing drugs and having a problem with it are 2 different things.

“Doing drugs and having a problem with it are 2 different things.”
Yeah, the problem is getting caught.
Given he has a self-confessed history of abuse, has Obama been drug tested as is required for any employee of a major firm working for the government?

Please do not count McCain out of this election just yet. If God wills McCain will prevail. Country First!!!!
========================================
So, if Obama does win does that mean God was not willing? Or will it because hAs for Country First….that is a bunch of crap…McCain\Palin have always put themselves first during this campaign not Country…

I forgot to mention Ron Howard and Tom Hanks also support Obama.

len
Yes because he works for the Federal Government. I think that is what medical records are for.

Ryan C (That One)
Caan and Duvall is only supporting McCain because of his age, just like Powell is supporting Obama because he is black.

It’s interesting that the small towners’ reaction to being called bitter is to get bitter.
It’s also interesting that Hank says “we love God and we love guns” in the same sentence. Almost like there’s an equivilance. Scary.

RL in Illinois
I guess you miss the last year and 10 months of the election.

To one audience, Obama belittle’s traditional American values. Then, he turns around and is suddenly the champion of the middle class.
Which is it? Does anyone really know for sure? The best way to find out is to ignore what he says and study his history of public service, his voting record and his associations. Then, come to your own conclusion.

It’s interesting that the small towners’ reaction to being called bitter is to get bitter.”
No. the reaction is to get even. President elect McCain on Nov 5th after PA flips to him.

Not much of a country music fan, but at least they perform with “bands.” Takes no talent to talk stupid and vulgar to a drumbeat and a turntable. That’s the reason for all the stage dancers-to take your mind off guys with no talent.

Good question, Cliff. But it’s hard to find out considering how many times he has changed his position:
public campaign financing; offshore oil drilling; FISA; PATRIOT ACT; gun control; NAFTA and free trade; withdrawal of our troops from Iraq (now responsibly versus March 31, 2008), meeting “without preconditions” with Admadinejad – now using different semantics “with preparation.”
If he’s already flip-flopping shamelessly during the election campaign, what are the chances that he’ll keep his promises if he becomes president?
.

Obama supporters are a bunch of whiners who have selective hearing and eyesight.
Where was the outrage from you Obama supporters when CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and internet sources declared open season on McCain/Palin campaign? The manner in which the media, Barack Obama, his campaign and you Obama supporters viciously attacked, slandered Gov. Palin, her husband and their innocent children the minute it was announced that she was the VP candidate. The media, Barack Obama, his campaign and you Obama supporters have been more vicious against Gov. Palin than Senator Hillary Clinton, because she’s a Republican, pro-life, and you see her as a threat because she does not support your issues.
What about the way the media, Obama, his campaign, and you Obama supporters viciouly smeared, slandered, attacked the McCains, and Joe the Plumber?
If Americans knowingly aware of Barack Obama baggage vote for him and if he’s elected, so be it, at least I will say that I did not vote for him. But don’t cry or complain when he continues to go back on his word the way he has since the primaries against Hillary to the present.
Barack Obama’s pastor associations with Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakan, Michael Pfleger, Jessie Jackson, and Al Sharpton. What true Christian believes in abortion/infanticide, same sex marriage, race-baiting, sexism, etc?
What true or practicing Christian pals around with these nut-cases who are unworthy to preach the word of God?
Barack Obama’s radical, terrorist, and criminal associations with Frank Davis Marshall, Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers, Khalid Al-Monsour, Antoine Resko, his brother Odinga and his other siblings from Kenya, and who knows how many other radical corrupted associations.
Please people, wake up and be open-minded. You sound like if you’re hypnotized. Research any of the above listed people and you will read that all of them are America haters, racists, and corrupt. They want to bring down America. Frank Davis Marshall was a poet and writer who mentored, brainwashed, poisoned and corrupted Obama from the age of 10 until he left to college against anybody who was not African-American. The irony is that Barack Obama’s father was like 6% African blood, 47% from Sudan, 47% Somali, and that makes Obama more Arab (47%) than African (3%), and 50% whatever his mother was. As of today, I haven’t heard what ethnicity Obama’s mother was. Everything is a mystery about Barack Obama.
If you Obama supporters think the Jeremiah Wright ad is unfair, it’s not because he attended that church for 20 years, and Wright was like his family. Obama called him a mentor like an uncle.
Google Obama mocking the Bible? If all the above listed associations and him mocking the Bible doesn’t dissuade you Obama supporters from voting for him, we’re in deep trouble.
