STATEMENT FROM HANK WILLIAMS JR

"Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme - but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me - how ludicrous that pairing was.  They're polar opposites and it made no sense.  They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the President."

"Every time the media brings up the tea party it's painted as racist and extremists - but there's never a backlash - no  outrage to those comparisons…  Working class people are hurting - and it doesn't seem like anybody cares. When both sides are high-fiving it on the ninth hole when everybody else is without a job - it makes a whole lot of us angry.  Something has to change. The policies have to change." - Hank Williams, Jr.
