Meghan McCain Slams Tea Party Movement
ByMeghan McCain went on The View today and slammed the Tea Party movement. She used the words of one man to malign millions of Americans.
ABC News: She specifically took aim at remarks by former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who suggested that people who voted for President Obama could not pass a basic civics literacy test.
“People who would not even spell the word vote or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House… named Barack Hussein Obama,” Tancredo said last week as he kicked off the Tea Party convention in Nashville, Tenn. He also ripped Sen. McCain for being a repeat of “Bush 1 and Bush 2.”
“It’s innate racism, and I think it’s why young people are turned off by this movement,” McCain charged of Tancredo’s remarks. “Revolutions start with young people, not with 65-year-old people talking about literacy tests and people who can’t say the word vote in English. It’s ridiculous.”
However, McCain was mum about Sarah Palin, who headlined the tea party banquet Saturday and took several jabs at Obama herself.
“I got a book coming out in August and I’d be happy to come back and tell you everything in August,” McCain said, when asked what her father thinks about Palin.
I guess she’ll wait to reveal that information until after Sarah Palin’s used her star power to campaign for dear old dad.
If you’re wondering whose side Meghan McCain is on, she kind of gave that away.
McCain has also repeatedly called for “Old School” Republicans to embrace progressives like herself.
I hate to burst her little bubble, but “Old School” Republicans and conservatives aren’t about to embrace progressives like herself. And maybe if she went to a tea party she’d find out that they’re made up of people of all ages and all races.
I do wish she’d stop calling herself a republican.

Other than the fact that she is John McCains daughter who is Meghan McCain to the world? The article gives the impression that this is payback for Tom Tancredo’s remarks about her father.
Meghan is a little cutie, but she has a poor grasp of history. Every revolution has been started and run by older people- not teenagers. The founding fathers were in fact fathers, every revolution has mature people in control. Whether you care for their ideology or not – experience, not kids get the job done. Many young people have fought bravely as foot soldiers in revolutions but they are NOT in charge of the operation.
Meghan, it is time for your father to retire or start looking for another job. He is part of the problem in Washington.
Did she really say “I got a book coming out”?
I suspect that Tancredo is correct, though, no matter how PC we want to be about it. Mindless voting is dangerous. People probably should be able to at least understand certain concepts; I don’t mind if it’s a verbal test, if these folks are illiterate or of foreign birth. Reading and writing are difficult for some people for a variety of reasons. But voting and the responsibility that goes with it should not be handed to people who just throw a dart. Their “dart” has real and serious results for the direction of the entire country.
I’m puzzled by the attention paid to this girl; as far as I know, all she has to offer is dna. Progressive dna, at that. She has accomplished exactly nothing, which makes her opinions worth exactly nothing. What book could she possibly have written? She hasn’t been on the planet long enough to do anything interesting. She’s sort of like Johnston posing in the nude…nothing much else to offer and milking her 15 minutes of fame. How sad.
