I think because Hitler killed Jews, Jews live in Israel now is what he was going after. When it was established doesn't matter in his mind. I can still understand what he was trying to say. And he has a right to speak his mind or just grab things out of the air and not go to jail.

You're thinking of Johnny Cash.

Apparently Hank is not the only one doubling down on dumb statements. :/

ha, not that I know of. The thought of anyone actually believing he thinks hitler and obama are equals is ridiculous. I just see him throwing that out there to be entertaining. He has rights not to be thrown in jail for saying ridiculous things and those are covered in the first amendment. EPSN said since you expressed your thoughts you're getting pulled. He didn't like it, don't see him suing them as they didn't break any laws. Maybe I have too much faith in people. I see it as somewhat of a joke that got out of hand. Would like to think ESPN could take the joke but maybe they know their audience better than I and think they don't realize he can't seriously think obama and hitler are equals. I truly believe what he said was for entertainment. Crazy to be blown up that he believes they are equals.

I'm disappointed in the lack of intellectual consistency from Bocephus.

The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is born. 1958: the Occult Wars finally come to an end with the death of Adolf Hitler." "1945, you mean. Hitler died in '45." "Did he now?" SI

While I am bothered by this, I didn't like the reaction of pulling his song. It doesn't surprise me though, just something I couldn't let go easily. I understand why they did it, but it just crazy to me. Why can't everyone get along. I think pumpy was saying I was oblivious if I didn't understand it being pulled, I don't want to understand is the point. I don't think there was any hate involved but maybe there is and if so I should dig up to get my head out of the sand. Anyway, I'm trying to be more social online so thanks for your input.

Martyrs for the 1st
They could be fronted by Dr. Laura, with Hank playing guitar.

I believe this is what you were looking for: Oops... I meant this: SI

The Hitler As Symbol Chart
Rule 1: It is never a good idea to invoke the name of Hitler to make an unrelated sports-related point — or any unrelated point. Rule 2: However, if you plan going to bring up Hitler in historical context, see Rule 1. Rule 3: In certain rare cases, when you are interested in using Hitler to prove a larger truth, see Rule 1. Rule 4: The one exception to this is … See Rule 1. Rule 5: Yeah. Rule 1. Always. |

I was thinking about that but mainly being in hanks shoes because he didn't deserve being labeled a certain way for trying to have a good time. They pull his song which totally makes it look like there might be some merit to that he believes they are equal. What you said is a given. There are things I like to discuss, I tend to jump over things obvious. I don't have an opinion one way or the other, or trying to prove something with talking about him getting shafted. Just like to say things and explore possibilities. If my exploring things not likely makes people think I'm dumb than feel free to think that. I don't jump off a bridge which is inspected for safety just because others are doing it.

Hey Pass, I know it's pretty stupid. I didn't think he would apologize because he wasn't sorry for the comparison. He wasn't comparing hitler to obama. Probably thought he was being cute and got offended when it came back to it bite him in the ass. What I've been kicking around my brain was dropping him effecting his name more than it would have effect Espn if they kept him. What he said was absurd. Espn at the minimum should have said they dropped him for being an ass. What they did gave some merit to people that he may feel they are equal.

He wasn't comparing them overall. If you think he believes obama is as bad as hitler than fine. Convincing me he believes that would be like convincing me that tony romo is as bad as andre ware.
