is espn owned by disney, though? yeah, it s owned by disney. there you go. but they have these double standards, too. that s a great point. they have a lot of double standards. hank tried to clarify t let s move on and put him back on monday night football. agree? actually i don t. i think it s assumed comment. it s a big business. do you ever make a mistake speaking in your life? well, look, he shows up to the show dressed like the unibomber and makes a stupid mistake. there it is. oh, that s who he is, though that s who he is. now you are criticizing what he looks like? do you know whyer wears glass? wearing a baseballs cap. do you know why he wears glasses because he had an accident. yeah, he almost died. very unprofessional. your view is hank williams is a rock and roller? he s a country singer. doesn t make a difference. he doesn t look like you.
it doesn t exist so you can say things without consequences. the principal of free speech and the reason the first amendment exists is because people are supposed to have to be more tolerant of controversial speech. it doesn t exist so you can only tolerate politically correct speech. no, it is so hank williams doesn t go to jail. that s my point. but it is different from people not liking what he said and for his speech having consequences. as long as the government is not putting him in jail. but the principal behind the law is people are tolerant of speech they do not like. no it is not. yes, it is. it has nothing to do with tolerating speech other than they have to here it because it is not illegal. you can t throw somebody in jail for something they don t like. but people can choose not to tolerate certain speech and companies can say, you can say what you want burkts are you not part of our company if you say it. there is phrase yolg of
tolerant speech within the context of the analysis of the first amendment. i know that because i m an attorney. first you are not an attorney. you are a comedian, and not a good one. is that your rebuttal in court? you stink. pretty much. i was not arguing that this was a first amendment issue. i realize he is not going to jail and being fired by a private company. i understand the legalities. but the existence of the first amendment shows our country supports tolerating speech. it does not happen in our society anymore. the second somebody says anything that offends somebody else they are fired and. especially if it is offensive. it is all black and white now. ironically, the thing that hank williams, junior was against was the discussion of differences.

did not do that at all. she trying to backpedal now. he used that analogy on purpose, but that being said, she just a country music singer, and he should be able to say that. what does it matter if he is a country music singer? this is not a first amendment issue. no, it is not. i am just saying the principal of free speech is very important. free speech is great. if you are going to burger king and the guy is muttering anti-sametic remark u.s. and have a right to fire him. that was him before the show. he has a right to fire the guy who acts like a character that will farrell would play. i think what we learned from this generally is that we shouldn t be taking political advice from hank williams. it is like taking fashion advice from caw qaddafi or if world war ii is your thing it is like taking it from furor. wasn t it him pulling two comparisons out of thin air? he didn t say president obama is hitler.
