For several weeks, Hangouts has had the message saying that sms is moving out of hangouts and to choose a new app. It covers half the screen of the conversation list. I use Google Voice, so I don't really need a new app.

Now I get a persistent notification in the notification shade "SMS is no longer supported" with no way to get rid of it. If I click on it, it goes to Android Messages in the Play store. It goes away for few minutes then and then reappears.

Anyway to get rid of it?

I'm surprised you can't acknowledge the notice and make it go away. You might try going to Settings, Apps, All and do a force stop, clear cache and clear data on Hangouts. I don't use it so nothing else to offer other than disabling it.
