Alec Baldwin takes aim at Williams, Jr. over latest Obama remark
Sept. 4, 2012, 4:44 PM EST
Outspoken actor Alec Baldwin has sparked a war of words with grizzled Hank
Williams, Jr. after taking aim at the country singer over his recent remarks
about President Barack Obama. The fervent Republican's anthem Are You Ready For
Some Football? was pulled from its weekly slot at the beginning of ESPN sports
show Monday Night Football last year (11) after he compared Obama to Nazi
dictator Adolf Hitler during a breakfast TV interview, and now Williams, Jr. is
upsetting Democrats again. This time, at the Stockyards Music Festival in Texas
on Sunday (02Sep12), he called the President "a Muslim who hates cowboys, hates
cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays," adding, "We hate him!" And
Baldwin, a hardcore Democrat, has opted to respond on Obama's behalf, tweeting:
"If Hank Williams Jr. wasn't such a pathetic, wheezing fossil, I'd have a talk
with him."
