ABC News: Meghan McCain Rails at the Tea Party
ABC News’ Huma Khan reports: Meghan McCain, the daughter of former GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and a self-described “progressive Republican,” today assailed the tea party movement.
Sitting in as co-host on “The View” today, McCain said she has ideological differences with the movement.
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.”
Whoopie is a sarcastic wart and has a voice that is raspy and demeaning. This show “The View” is highly overrated. This girl Meghan McCain certainly does NOT speak for young people and she is totally full of bull-shit. When I hear Meghan McCain speak I can’t believe the belligerent antiAmerican undertones. Obama is a Marxist by the way.
Megan – victim of the progressive educational system, does not know that the first revolutionaries could hardly be described as youngsters. The 60′s revolution gave us cultural rot and runaway entitlement spending. The fact is, people would not vote for McCain…they saw him for what he is – a progressive Republican and so they stayed home.
Only think I can see of value in Meghan McCain are those big ol’ tittays.
