Obama hates CowGirls? Right Wing conspiracy? Sep 06, 2012
The right wing in the US have their fair share of loony conspiracy theories. What's interesting in this story is that 'Muslim' is being used as a negative - which shows the rabid views of some right-wing Americans.

I chuckled at the 'loves gays' 'hates fishing' rant though..

Hank Williams Jr.: Says President Is Muslim, ‘Hates Cowgirls,’ ‘Loves Gays’

Hank Williams Jr. repeated his anti-Obama tirade at a concert in Texas on Sunday. Performing at the Stockyards Music Festival, the country singer went on an extended rant against the president.

“We’ve got a Muslim for a President who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him,” Williams Jr. bellowed. As the Dallas Sun reported, the crowd responded with a loud cheer.
This is the second time in recent weeks the singer has used heated language when describing his distaste for the president. A late August concert featured Williams Jr. doing the same bit, though the dig at homosexuals appears to be a new addition to his schtick.

In October 2011, the singer went on “Fox and Friends” to liken the president to Hitler. His comments put him squarely in the company of Ted Nugent, another singer known for lambasting the president without a particular regard for temperance. More on Nugent available in the gallery below. For more on Williams Jr., head over to the Dallas Sun.

Most people do indeed roll their eyes at the crazees that think Obama is Muslim - but the quip about Cowgirls was struck me as particularly a loony theory. Now if the audience had laughed at the rant, that would be one thing - the reports say they cheered at the 'and we hate him' ending! :roll:

But the smiley by the thread title is there to show that Hank and his rant is not to be taken seriously, but to be laughed at. ;)

Thank you for the explanation. Cowgirls shouldn't be mocked.

:D No, just Muslims, Gays, Farmers, Fishing ... and cowgirls. Those right wing Americans are a bit loopy that way. ;)

I guess they are the equivalent of our EDL nutters who think Mooslims have 'muslamic rayguns' ;)

You should hear what vegans have to say about fishermen. They're all bloody murderers.

I'm sure the decision to post one of the two stories on conspiracy theories required deep rationalization on shafique's part:
