Actually, many things are allowed in conversational English, but some things mark you as uneducated. Saying, "Me, neither," is one of those things. Of course, incorrect English can be used in emphasis, especially if the user usually speaks precise English. Them saying "I AIN'T gonna do it." gives the denial emphasis. But, Slackerboy is right, it is not strictly correct to speak in fragments.
