Hank Williams Jr. is a dumb bastard but shouldn't lose his job.

Hank Williams

Now I know what I am writing is not going to be popular but I believe everyone should chill out asking for Hank Williams Jr. to be fired by ESPN. Yes he is a dumb bastard for comparing President Obama to Hitler but let's see all of you answer questions at 6:30 in the morning after a night of heavy drinking.

I mean haven't you ever got pissy tail drunk and then went on national television and said some dumb sh**? Okay maybe not but here in the US you have the right to do so.

There are several petitions circulating right now asking ESPN to let him go and I understand the anger. Mr Williams disrespected the office of the President of the United States and in doing so disrespected our country. But our constitution allows ***holes to be ***holes and have fun doing it.

Many including myself are angry with Williams and if ESPN decides that they don't want him associated with their corporate image then they should fire him. But it should be a decision they make.

Remember today it's a bastard like Williams but next time it could be your free speech being attacked. I don't really care that much about Williams but I do care about our individual rights. As Americans we have the right to say whatever dumb sh** we want and trust me we exercise that right.

That be said most of us know a little better than Williams and would never say what he said. That's because we have good old fashioned common sense

Let's use that common sense now.
