But, that doesn't remove the fact that he is also a blithering idiot:
At a Sarah Palin rally here tonight, country music star Hank Williams, Jr. took the stage to sing the national anthem, as he has done at Palin events across the country for weeks. But this time, the singer decided to share his personal views about Barack Obama with the crowd.
“You know, I’m usually at ‘Monday Night Football' tonight, but Colorado, this is a lot more important tonight,” Williams, Jr. said. “Join me now in our national—you know, that song that, uh, Mr. Obama’s not real crazy about, we’re singing it right now.”
The crowd cheered, and Williams, Jr. sang the national anthem. The country singer then went into an ode he penned about the Republican presidential ticket, a song called “McCain/Palin Tradition,” which has lyrics referring to Palin as a “good lookin’ dish.”

Though it is Hank Jr.'s right to say stupid things, it should be pointed out that there is absolutely no proof that Obama has an aversion to the National Anthem.
But, this is a commonality that is pervasive within the country-music commnity and their fans. They still believe that Obama is a Muslim, that he has ties to terrorism, or that he just might be the Anti-Christ.
To put it simply, Hank Jr. isn't doing anything to make himself or those how love him look better.
