(CBS News) Hank Williams Jr. just made it pretty clear which presidential candidate he'll be voting for come November.

The country singer took a political swing at President Barack Obama while performing for a crowd of 8,500 at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand Friday night.

After finishing the song, "We Don't Apologize For America," the audience started chanting "USA, USA..." According to the Des Moines Register, Williams then told the crowd, "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"

According to the concert review, Williams' comments brought on cheers and applause.

This isn't the first time Williams has spoken out against Mr. Obama. In July, Williams told Rolling Stone that the president "hates America in the first place, forget about the flag."

His latest album, "Old School, New Rules," is riddled with political jabs against Mr. Obama, too. In the song, "Take Back Our Country," Williams sings, "Hey Barack, pack your bags, head to Chicago, take your teleprompter with you so you'll know where to go."

He also gets political in a new image posted Monday on his website that reads: "Taking Back the Country 2012," which can be found here. The caption notes: "Are y'all ready to help take back this great country?"

Nut case he is. But Romney is a Mornom so what to they belief in. Mulitple worlds with each having a god. They have 3 heavens a normal, a Moses and God Heaven. Any man who does great things on earth can become a god just like god. They do not believe in the trinty (god, jesus and holy ghost being one) each was of flesh. They are a cult(my a leader who finds a tablet in the woods) and Romney wears the items of cult member. Why does the press not pick up on this; come man be real they do not believe the bible. Southern church goers look under the covers.

The above -> HE IS A REAL MORMON HATER AND A BIGOT.
HE SAYS TOLERANCE - AS LONG AS IT IS -> MY POINT OF VIEW.

Whenever encountering the blatherings of this idiotic parochial nut job, one needs only to consider the source.

He has his right to his opinion. Why doesn't anyone complain when all these hollywood no it alls make there comments. People should really become more educated about what is going on in politics.

[dbl06]

I wouldn't put too much credence to what a man said who is so stupid that he fell off the side of a mountain.

[jimsmith327]

That spew of venom can't be called opinion.

[trutwin]

I've had Zero regard for Hank Williams Jr. and his opinion on anything ever since he ripped off his father's filmed performance and incorporated it into a video with Junior some years ago. It was Daddy who had all the talent.

To Trutwin
OMG!! You are so right. When he was drinking, he was a slow-wit, drugs, a half-wit and now he is just a plain, stupid, idiotic dim-wit!!

In other news, "Crazed wackadoodles spout such insane nonsense that they actually get news coverage"

democracy8 Sorry, I got the s before the o in George Soros. So dock me 10 points.

[nitro912]

democracy8 I have a college degree. I also have MS so typing is a b.... However, I do have the ability to know when sh.. is being dumped on us by the liberal media and George Sorso' Media Matters. No, I don't let any media source, including Fox, determine my political views. Each one gives something, even if they goof!

The GOP unfortunately have been trained since the 1980s by sick, dysfunctional pathological liars to become sick, dysfunctional, pathological liars. 95% of them have succeeded. Their Campaign of DECEIT now enters its 4th decade, backed by a completely corrupt infrastructure, pursuing their MOTTO: "Fix the data to push the HIDDEN AGENDAS--lie, deceive, fabricate", which means they're spewing lies 99% of the time. The result is idiocy like Hank Williams Jr. lapping up the Right Wing incessant load of BS. Hence a stupid remark.

The result of such a strategy, however, of incessant lies is one "damage needed-repair cycle" after another. Hence they now have FIVE "DEATH SPIRALS" in motion in 2012, have murdered millions, with BILLIONS in damages, to be TRILLIONS 2015-2020. Aren't you glad there's an Election in November 2012 and uninformed Americans will put them into power?

Don't be take in by their incessant lies:
1) Climate Change has already killed TENS OF MILLIONS, soon to be HUNDREDS of MILLIONS with $52 BILLION in damages in the US in 2011 and $200 BILLION worldwide.
2) They apparently don't think they're destroying fast enough hence the push for the Keystone XL Pipeline for a few thousand jobs. It puts the planet over a cliff by 2015 from which there is no return, spewing out additional 70% pollution over conventional oil processing.
3) The GOP-Paul Ryan's "cut and gut" plan is similar to the one forced on Roosevelt in 1937. Caused a "double dip" GREAT DEPRESSION and drove unemployment way past 15%. Ryan's Plan gives massive tax cuts to upper % and 2/3 of the top 5% don't even want Bush-Cheney tax cuts so why would they want additional cuts? Those cuts drive up the national DEBT, so to bring it back down they cut for the disabled, the destitute, the elderly and education by going after Medicare, Medicaid, and Pell Grants for the middle and lower income students. Apparently the only students to be educated are those who come from wealthy families.
4) Similar to #3, the Fiscal Cliff is coming in January 2013 because the GOP refused to negotiate in good faith. Bernanke has warned, Christine LaGarde head of the Montary Fund (IMF) has warned, and on Wed 8-22 the Congressional Accounting Office warned that they will cause a major recession and a loss of at least 2 million jobs.
5)Derivatives stuffed with junk damaged the economy for the 3rd time in September 2008 and we're still struggling to get out of that mess. But the GOP would gut FINANCE REFORM, so derivatives stuffed with junk can damage the economy for the FOURTH TIME 2018-2020 because so far the pattern is 1987 (S&L), 1998( LTCM, see Frontline's THE WARNING), 2008 (Subprime, see Frontline's "Money, Power and Wall Street", also "Inside Job" and "All The Devils Are Here" by Joe Nocera).

Aren't you glad there's an IMPORTANT ELECTION in November 2012 and the GOP can destroy not only the United States but the planet with FIVE more "DEATH SPIRALS" to add tot he incredible damage they did in 2008? You didn't want a future anyway did you?

1- Climate Change is a myth. The Earth is on a natural cycle and any deaths are a result of natural disasters.

2- The Keystone projects will go on with/without USA involvment, the oil will just go to China... so the Canadaians can be blamed if they destroy the earth.

3- If you wish to compare Politics of the 30's-40's to now? That's reaching... might want to actually check the cause.

4- The debate is bases on uncontrolled spending. Such as $1.5 Billion sent to Eygpt, or the other unnecessary.

5- The economy never improved, so it couldn't be damaged. They tried to say it was fixing itself, but the reality, they did as perdicted and all fix attempts were labelled as "short term" and doomed.

Liberals are in for a rude awakening, Obama and the Attorney General have done more to protect "big money" than convict them. He has created chrades, that look like government services, that help line the pockets of several corporate corporations.

This is a joke, Obama isn't even the man Democrats want. Might explain why there wasn't much competetion to replace him on the Democratic ticket...

Voting once for a lie can be held on the political hype... voting twice? You deserve to face what ever problems await... but the rest of us don't...

Climate change is real. We have increased CO2 by 40%, and that is increasing global temperatures in an unprecedented manner. There is no natural cycle that explains it.
