    Ridiculous. Hitler has been widely portrayed in movies and TV and has been endlessly discussed in many forums. Most dramatic portrayals have been the straight historical figure but often he's used for comedy in "The Producers" (Springtime for Hitler?), occasionally in science fiction and endless Youtube parodies. And of course we allow idiots with a web page to spread all kinds of Neo-Nazi garbage. You can't even do that in Germany these days.

    The real problem is when you compare modern political figures to the man. It's the worst argument you could make because it's just not relevant, topical or fair. Most people of this generation have forgotten what a monster that guy really was. It doesn't matter what your political stripe is...it's just wrong. Even Youtube Hitler parodies involving politicians are widely condemned and usually removed.

    You clearly still didn't get what the guy was saying when he made the comparison. I understand he doesn't like Obama and he's one of those SCREW THE GOVERNMENT MANNNNN guys, but he wasn't comparing Obama to Hitler. Jesus people can't understand a simple analogy.

    He never compared a single person to another. He compared a situation (playing golf between two protagonists) with a fictional situation to comparatively show that it was stupid for Boener and the president to play golf. A simpler analogy would be to compare the golf game to oil and water like Alex said and there would probably still be a story there of them saying he used oil since Obama is black. :gag:

    Also I hate country music and never knew this dude existed so I'm not defending him for any reason like that.

    This whole situation is a joke... What he actually said wasn't that horrible... but in the same regard for them to pull him is not that big of a deal either. It's their business and frankly you do not buck this current administration or you will pay.... Really the opening was old and stale and it will not be missed.... All the while, ESPN is a just a puppet like the rest of the media... Olbermann was the champion of Hilter/Nazi comments yet he was hired by NBC for their Sunday night lineup... It's all jumbled up silly pc politics.. MNF sucks anyway and the Titans don't play there this year... who cares.

    Let's leave the politics out of this. Another Hank thread with politics is running in the Taboo forum already.
