=== Conservatives Go Punk (03:20) ===

[00:00:00]  The last editorial that I wanted to cover from conservativepunk.com is titled, Republicans Show Punk Attitude at Town Halls.
[00:00:10]  So this is again from 2008.
[00:00:12]  This is July.
[00:00:12]  2008, this is July.
[00:00:13]  If we needed some proof that conservatives can be punk, we only need to look at the recent spell of supporters who have been cursing and breaking all formality at McCain's meetings.
[00:00:24]  It seems the new conservatives of the day have significantly broken from past stereotypes.
[00:00:29]  This is this from Fox News.
[00:00:32]  In this case, a woman who identified herself as a McCain campaign volunteer used her question to complain that the paid staffers were not pulling their weight.
[00:00:41]  Quote, I am going to do a little straight talk here, she said at the Rochester New Hampshire Forum.
[00:00:46]  Mine is not really a question.
[00:00:48]  So we're off to a good start.
[00:00:50]  Yes, of course.
[00:00:51]  Oh, that's so gross.
[00:00:52]  I hate that.
[00:00:52]  Put your hand down.
[00:00:54]  Mine's not so much of a question or a comment as it is a complaint.
[00:01:00]  It is a statement about a lot of your campaign staff members, and I can tell you right now, I know I will be on top of their shit list, but I could care less.
[00:01:09]  And then quote, shush, McCain said before the woman continued with her critical remarks.
[00:01:16]  And then another piece of this Fox News article, first a woman in South Carolina, or first was a woman in South Carolina who during the Democratic primary season late last year asked McCain of Hillary Clinton, how do we beat the bitch?
[00:01:31]  Then there was a man in Pipersville, Pennsylvania last month who urged McCain not to get involved, quote, in all that bullshit nasty politics.
[00:01:40]  That was outdone by the audience member who asked McCain at an Iowa town hall in May whether it's true that you called your wife a cunt.
[00:01:48]  Whoa!
[00:01:54]  So much for the Republicans of old.
[00:01:56]  It seems more than ever the Republicans are breaking rank with the traditionalist image that we have.
[00:02:03]  I think it is safe to say that the Republican Party more than ever is a party of the Johnny Ramones and Ted Nugents out there who want their freedom back and are not afraid to add some passion and expletives to it.
[00:02:15]  In Columbus, one reporter shit into his hand, broke glass and threw it at McCain's head.
[00:02:23]  Another member, yeah, cut himself and rubbed the defecation into the wound.
[00:02:28]  Yeah.
[00:02:28]  He was like, what the heck?
[00:02:31]  This isn't a question as much as a comment.
[00:02:33]  Yeah.
[00:02:36]  I love this.
[00:02:37]  Hey, these aren't your daddies conservatives.
[00:02:41]  These are punk conservatives.
[00:02:42]  They call women bitches and cunts.
[00:02:45]  Awful.
[00:02:45]  It's awful, people.
[00:02:45]  Not like the conservatives of yesteryear.
[00:02:50]  Oh yeah, it's like the essential funniness that the most punk thing that they're doing is using swears.
[00:02:57]  But then also the dual thing of one of them using swears and McCain immediately trying to shut it down and another one using a swear to quote something that McCain said himself.
[00:03:09]  Yep.
[00:03:11]  So is perhaps McCain the most punk here by calling his wife a c-word?
[00:03:18]  I mean, you think you're punk rock for breaking a guitar.
