Are You Ready for Some Hyperbole

Yesterday on Fox News Hank Williams Jr. called  last summers golf summit between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner as "one of the biggest political mistakes ever."

As Williams put it on Fox News' Fox & Friends: "It would be like Hitler playing golf with Benjamin Netanyahu."

As a result, ESPN quickly pulled his traditional opening song from their Monday Night football broadcast.

Let's be honest with ourselves here conservatives.  If some liberal had gone on national tv and compared George W. Bush to Hitler during his presidency--as many of his detractors did--we would be up in arms. 

The situation is similar to ridiculous comments made by the Dixie Chicks and Rosie O'Donnell during the Bush years.

As conservatives we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Barack Obama is a terrible president.  But he's not comprable to Hitler.  No one is comprable to Hitler but Hitler.  And he's been dead for 50 years.

 So let's get over this nonsense and finally put an end to Godwin's Law once and for all.

Why anyone cares what a yokel like Hank Williams Jr. thinks about politics is beyond me.
