Video: How to get kicked out of a Clay Aiken fundraiser

In case you hadn’t heard the news, American Idol star, singer and actor Clay Aiken is running for Congress in North Carolina’s second congressional district. He’s hoping to take on (and take down) current GOP Representative Renee Ellmers. While Aiken’s success could allow him to largely self-fund the effort, politics still requires you to get out there and do some fundraising, pressing the flesh with the local donors and power brokers. But as the following video shows, don’t bother stopping by if you’re a Republican. You’re likely to get an icy – and expletive laden – welcome. You can just see Aiken in the background as the clip begins, though he’s quickly blocked from view by some looming thugs with a lot to say.

I’ll preface this with the necessary warnings. NC-17 language ahead, and so much of it packed into a barely more than 30 second clip that I can’t even put up a transcript on the pages of Hot Air. So it’s not for the easily offended and put your headphones on if the kids are around.

did the camera get kicked out of the bar/ Caly fiundraiser?

That was my conclusion, otherwise wouldn't they have posted what was said and went on at the fundraiser?

Breitbart is the wheelbarrow we've lost (red wheelbarrow is supposedly what he wanted read at his funeral). Those white chickens are the other news media.

Pencil sharpeners and Elmers glue was one of his last converstaions with Matt Labash

We talked about aging, as two middle-aged guys who get into the Bloody Mary cart at 11 in the morning sometimes will. I told Andrew that his good friend, Five for Fighting’s John Ondrasik, had a hit song called “100 Years” – about aging – that never ceases to freak me out. The protagonist of the song describes the different ages of his life – 15, 33, 45, and so on – that tick by in a blink. It doesn’t help, I told Andrew, that I was 33 when the song seemingly came out yesterday, but that I am closer to 45 now, thus illustrating Ondrasik’s point.

"In a very rare spell of silence, Breitbart stewed for several minutes. Then, he wistfully replied, “Don’t worry, man. It’s something that bothers me, too. But I have it all figured out.

We all need to go to work together every day from 9 am to 3 pm, whether we need to or not. In a classroom. We’ll even sit at those peninsula-shaped desks, with our pencil sharpeners and Elmer’s glue. And we’ll do it for nine months out of every year.”

“Why on earth?” I asked, puzzled.

“Because,” he said. “When we were in school, that was the last time we watched the clock, and wanted it to hurry up. The last time it took too long to get to the next thing.”

Well, my instincts were to be more blunt, but on the topic of others’ Salvation, I am fearfully circumspect, regardless of what my hunch might be.

I understand and applaud your instincts.

I think there can be no argument that Clay, with his pro-gay proclivities, using the scriptures as our guide, cannot be considered a Christian.

Sadly, our Christian society has abused the concept of not being offensive, to the point where we are collectively leaving the souls of people in harms way.

Blunt, honest, and to the point should be the operational approach of every Christian(with regards to rebuke or talking about sin), tempered with the Love of Christ which every born-again Christian has imbued into them as "standard" equipment as part of their born-again experience.
