That was fast. ESPN has pulled Hank Williams Jr's theme song for Monday Night Football after the country music singer's bizarre and racist rant on Fox & Friends.
The entertainer and teabagger criticized Speaker of the House John Boehner for playing golf with President Obama, comparing that to "Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu." Williams added that Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are "the enemy."
Watch the FOX segment and MSNBC's Ed Schultz discuss the drama AFTER THE JUMP ...
Filthy creature! I thought I was open-minded for listening to his father's music. My best friend used to call it "Ku Klux Klan" music. I guess he was right.

It's funny, he didn't say whether his "enemy" Obama was supposed to be like Hitler or Netanyahu in his comparison. Gretchen Carlson picked up on that at 3:04: "You used the name of one the most hated people in all of the world to describe the -- I think -- the President." Maybe Hank Williams, Jr. just gave a glimpse of his being a Nazi-sympathizing anti-Semite. No surprise there.
