Where they covered "conservative rock" (an oxymoron at that ), and this was one of the bands that was profiled. With songs like "Bush Was Right", you know automatically that they suck.

What's really funny is the whole "conservative rock" movement is based on the fact that "Hollywood just doesn't get us". I remember when P.O.D. gave magazines the impression that they were the anti-Marilyn Manson way back when. Same premise, different year.
