Hank Williams Performs "McCain-Palin Tradition" Song, Mentions "Radical Friends" (VIDEO)

Country singer Hank Williams, Jr joined the McCain-Palin campaign in in Virginia on Monday. Appearing at a rally Williams sang a version of his one-time hit song "Family Tradition" called "McCain-Palin Tradition," with all new lyrics. In the song he now sings of the liberal media, hunting and radical friends. The McCain could use a good song, as they've been told to stop using songs by Heart, Jackson Browne, Van Halen, the Foo Fighters, so far.

Watch the performance or scroll down for the lyrics:

New lyrics:

The left wing liberal media have always been a real close knit family
But most of the American people dont believe em anyway you see
Stop and think it over
Before you make your decision
If they smell something wrong, they're gonna come down strong
You know McCain-Palin tradition
John and Sarah tell you just what they think. They're not gonna blink. And they don't have radical friends to whom their careers are linked
John is his own man
And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition
They're gonna be just fine
Were headed for good times
You know McCain-Palin Tradition
This old unions got problems
That is plain to see
The democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Like 1-2-3
The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans
Bill Clinton said "you got to!"
Now they wanna bail out
what I'm talking about
Is a democrat liberal hoodoo!
To me and you
John and Sarah tell you just what they think
And they're not gonna blink
They're gonna fix this country, cuz they're just like you and ol Hank
I am very proud
Of our country's name
But no society is perfect
And we have had our stains
If I'm down at the coffee shop
Somebody wants to start do give our flag friction
I say please move on, were standing strong
Thats an Old John McCain tradition
John and Sarah tell you just what they think
And they're not gonna blink
They're gonna fix this country, cuz they're just like you and ol Hank
If I'm down at the coffee shop
Somebody wants to start do give our flag friction
I say please move on, were standing strong
Thats an Old Sarah Palin tradition
Some are bound to tell you
I'm preaching to the choir
And that is very true, and we are going even higher
Like a Mama bear in Idaho
She'll protect your family's condition
If you mess with her cubs, shes gonna take off the gloves, thats an American female tradition
Ehi tell me Sarah why do you hunt
John why do you fish
How can you be so smart and savvy
such a hey good-looking dish
Yes John is his own man
And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition
Were gonna see the light, they're gonna get it right, its a McCain-Palin tradition

Choke. Barf. Puke.

I used to like Hank Williams Jr. and now he's a-gone and a-ruined it.

Oh well. There's always the Foo Fighters, Heart, and the rest of 'em. No big loss.

[GeezerusMaximus]

I always said there was only one Hank Williams, and it certainly was not junior.

[daedelus]

Thanks for the pearls, Junior. Nobody quite like a drug-addled C & W has-been to give voice to our feelings.

[rw97]

Yep, Hank Jr. playing to the George Wallace base.

[TrueIndy08]

hahaha... kind of like Lynyrk Skynyrd playing for Wallace's campaign events and saying that they aren't racist...

hahahahahaha.... if these people are so pro whiteness... why the hell are they so afraid to say it?

[TrueIndy08]

whoops... typo...

Lynyrd

It seems like anyone who supports McCain all of a sudden is a racist. Why is this? Obama is not african american, he is mixed, he does have some white in him. And it is time that he started answering some questions about his shady past with his radical associations. If this man becomes president (God forbid) racisim is going to be cried all the time, we are going to lose our freedom of speech, it is already happening. I'm not racist, I have a mixed niece. Why is he so ashamed of his middle name? His mother and Muslim father gave it to him, it is his God given name.

[BBackSoon]

What questions do you have?

[JiminNC]

"It seems like anyone who supports McCain all of a sudden is a racist. Why is this? "

Good question Pam. Why is it?

[elcojonu]

What's your hang up over a middle name.
Would it make you feel better if his middle name were Mordechai, Menachem or Schlomo ?

[brooklyncitizen]

Do you have a point?

[TrueIndy08]

a mixed niece huh????

and I bet you probably shouted out the most obscene things when you originally found out....

don't lie....

[piggybackmom]

How come the audience is always all white?
IS Maverick McCain and Palin's world only white?

[TrueIndy08]

bc if you are not white, you don't belong on the right...

have you looked and listened to these people????

I guarantee any black or hispanic, or asian person trying to run for high office on that side would never make it to the general.... they will take your vote.... but if you try and actually rule.... nope nope... won't happen!!!!

Look at the high ranking "blk rethugs"... Colin Powell... appointed Condi Rice... appointed.... Clarence Thomas.... appointed....

if any of them tried to run for POTUS on the right..... they would come in dead last in the primary!!!

The repub party is based on racism.... pure and simple

[brooklyncitizen]

I'd go further and say the Republican Party is based on fear.....all fear.

Fear drives the obsession with guns, fear drives the need for a military economy, fear of the other drives the backlash against immigrants, fear of black retaliation for slavery drives the fear of a black POTUS, fear drives their "religious" beliefs, homophobic fear feeds their intolerance ,fear of science drives creationism and intelligent design......they are a fearful and sad lot.

[LiberalPaul]

"They're gonna fix this country, cuz they're just like you and ol Hank."
If they are just like Hank, I will pass.

[SoCalVandal]

You can have Streisand and Kanye, as for me I'm siding with Hank on this election...

[JiminNC]

low info voter alert

[brooklyncitizen]

Hope you are in the top 2%.

[LadyBirdJ]

Yes, they go on about Ayers 24/7, but does anyone realize that when Hank, Jr.’s daughters were in a car accident last year and he brought them to an Emergency hospital in Nashville, he pulled a doctor aside and said: “Make sure no black nurses take care of my daughters”. True story. Pass it on. This is who Mc Cain – Palin literally “pal around with”

[trinity]

Hank Williams Jr.? So is Lee Greenwood hiding behind curtain #2?

[Clare53]

Oh - my - god.

[SadiSays]

Ugh....What a s*** kicking piece of dung of a diddy that was.

Perhaps Mike Hukabee will invite ol' Jr. to his show to perform a good ol boy, down home, knee slappin' rendition...
