meghanmccain incondo Meghan McCain: Tea Party represents innate racismYoung people 'turned off' by Tea Party movement's racist undertones, McCain says

The daughter of former presidential candidate John McCain has sharply criticized the Tea Party movement, accusing it of "innate racism."

In an appearance on ABC's The View, Meghan McCain also took issue with a number of recent statements from Sarah Palin, criticizing the former Alaska governor for defending Rush Limbaugh's use of the word "retard" and for suggesting that President Obama launch a war against Iran in order to win a second term.

McCain described Former Republican congressman Tom Tancredo's call for a literacy test for voters as "innate racism."

In his opening speech to the Tea Party convention last week, Tancredo urged the creation literacy tests for voters, a move some observers likened to a return to the Jim Crowe laws of the pre-Civil Rights Act era.

Story continues below...

“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 told the Tea Party crowd.

"It's innate racism, and I think it's why young people are turned off by this movement," McCain retorted on The View.

"I'm sorry, but revolutions start with young people, not 65 year old people talking about literacy tests and people who can't say the word 'vote' in English," McCain added.

McCain, a self-described "progressive Republican," criticized Palin's assertion that President Obama could get himself re-elected to a second term if he launched a war against Iran.

"You should never go to war unless its the absolute last circumstance," McCain said.

As for Palin's defense of Rush Limbaugh for using the word "retard" after calling for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's resignation over the same word last week, McCain said it was a symbol of "exactly what is wrong with politics today.

"We can't placate and say Democrats can say one thing and Republicans can say another thing," she said.

McCain added that the rhetoric coming from the Tea Party movement and from Republicans like Palin "will continue to turn off young voters, and anybody who says different is smoking something."

The following video was broadcast on ABC's The View, Feb. 8, 2010.

  • love
    I know that no one will read this...I am kind of late to the party but the personal attacks from everybody is really hurting all of us. I think that everyone is becoming so entrenched in there ideology that we will make Igor Panarin be the soothsayer he claims to be.
  • Jen-yung chen
    yeah i guess we're all racists!!! myself included (who's asian, btw)!! hah. since this clown of a president said he was for bipartisan political govt then approves a maj. entitlement program that we cant afford and will guarantee higher taxes for decades to come, who mandates every american insurance (whether you want it or not), demonize big business (who are some of the best philanthropist around!!! and majority of charitable organizations!!), now everyone who opposes you great obama are racist (unless they meet with you over beer or apology maybe, haha). maybe you and waxman need to confiscate everybody email going years back because they might not agree with you and your socialism agenda.

    not to mention that YOU happen to be biggest racist of all by treatment of israeli pm Netanyahu. now you are killing innocent women & children via the secret (shhh, dont tell cnn, they might say something) war you launched against pakistan bombing via unmanned drones.

    keep apologizing to other nation so china can invade you are so weak obama, so weak and racist. why do you hate your country so much???
  • killer
    who cares if they are racist? they have every right to hate who they want for what ever reason they want and there is nothin' ya can do about it! so shut the fuck up ya pussies!
  • scott
    so what if they are racist? people have every right to hate who they want, for what ever reason they want and there is nothin' ya can do about it. so shut the fuck up pussies!
  • RINO Hater
    Oh, joy. Another McCain "Maverick" Republican so bipartisan that they will literally leap over the aisle and jump, head first, into the laps of every Democrat on the other side of every single issue titled "progressive." What would we do without them?

    Personally, RINOs fill me with loathing and contempt. The Democrats have enough respect for their constituents not to lie about what they are. They don't run left and govern right when they assume office.

    Ms. McCain needs to either show how "maverick" she really is and become a registered Democrat or shut her stupid mouth. If she thinks she is going to keep up her father's proud tradition of pretending to be conservative to fund his campaigns only to legislate as a loony liberal, she is sadly mistaken. At least her dear old dad waited a number of years to build an incumbent's war chest before he started on that road. If he had come out of the liberal closet right out of the gate like his twitty daughter, he would have never been elected.

    I fervently hope the Republicans of Arizona target McCain for elimination from the Senate, no matter what it takes. If his Republican loses, then they need to vote for the Democrat. At least there are some benefits to it, however dubious.

    With a RINO, you get the worst of both parties. You get invade the word, invite the world, in hoc to the world, but you can forget about any social safety net when your jobs have been insourced and outsourced to death and because the military is the only employment you have left none to cover you when you come home totally physically and mentally destroyed.

    The pudgy Princess Megan McCain can drop dead. Yeah, I'm racist, all right. I loathe all the rich white oligarch elite entitlement brats like herself that will never ever be hurt by government policies no matter how insane they are! It must be nice to be able to afford your own private island. It sucks to be the rest of us.

    Bite me, Megan!

    She is another mainstream media brainwashed white idiot living in a gated community who doesn't have a clue about the real deal affecting real white Americans. Go figure.

    Meghan McCain is a dumb blonde - spoiled rich girl who's never had to experience real life.

    Looks like we have another Jane Fonda developing here. These spoiled rich girls who move in Hollywood, or Washington political circles always go for bad Leftist politics and they can generally be counted on do spout predictable PC blather against RACISM". Of course Meghan McCain isn't likely to ever say anything negative about the "racism" of groups like The National Council of LaRaza ("The Race") or the Black Congressional Caucus or the Mugabe Black government of Zimbabwe. This spoiled White rich bitch should have to experience a rough inner city public school.

  • Lonestarok
    Do any of you have the brains to recognize what is really going on? There is a "shadow party" running this country into european ruins.

    Megan McCain says that "Revolutions are started by young people, not 65 year olds"...OH REALLY? Has Meghan ever heard of the American Revolution and a bunch of ole' codgers known as the FOUNDING FATHERS??Gee, I wonder where Meghan got her "egicashun" anyhow? Go back to school Meghan.
  • heywood jablome
    Dumb blonde bimbo. Just like daddy. Bombing civilian infrastructure then flying away as fast as possible. Such a heeeero. John McCain is a creep and a war criminal. His daddy the admiral helped stop any investigation into the attack of the USS Liberty. He's a British agent like the rest of these whitehouse shills.
  • samhille
    Ms Mcain is showing immaturity. Revolutions almost NEVER begin with the young. . .the seeds are planted by old men. The young are merely the foot soldiers and the ones who suffer the most from failed ideologies. This country is in real trouble. We've lost our way. We must return to the core absolutes of the constitution of the United States. Whoopi, Barbara, Joy, Elizabeth, Megan, Oprah should be able to sit and talk 'over tea' any time that they'd like. . .they are entertainers who are 'Moneied'. . .Salt of the Earth Americans would do well to TURN OFF THE TV'S and get to know their neighbors, get rid of unecessary distractions and become active in their home towns and at the county and state level to find inovative solutions to situations in their respective areas. . .Throw off 'Big Brother'. .. work to shrink the size of the Federal Government. . .the best places to begin would be to put EDUCATION and HEALTHCARE totally under the control of local and state government. Start teaching TRUE history and cut Big Pharma's tentacles. . .It's time for Americans to MAN UP! Both political parties are 2 sides of the same dime- -this is a circular dance people- - time for us to step of the merry-go-round- - -to save this nation, we've got to celebrate and value the TRUE diversity of this nation and CAPITALIZE on the innovation of thought. . .smoke THEM WORDS Meggie. . .you sure are cute, but, at this point in your life, you're still dumb as a box of rocks. . .<grin>

  • Robert Kraybill
    Right on, Megan re racism in the Tea Party. And it was good to hear that you feel that young people will not support this type of politics. It appears to me that older people who have benefited from pensions, cadillac health plans, and then Medicare are not willing to be bipartisan, health care reform leads the way, for fear that the above perks will be reduced. The rich get rich and the poor get poorer still seems to prevail today.
    I have some evidence to back up the above. I have been dating a 72 yr old woman ( I am only 63) who has a great pension, and a " cadillac" health plan as a result of working for Prudential Insurance for 36 years. Ironically she was in the Pensions dept of Pru and has informed me that policeman and teachers are entiltled to large pensions and cadillac health plans on retirement some in as little as 20 years of service ( the argument that both professions deserve the two perks because police officers can be killed on job and many suffer emotionally from the association with the baser elements of the population and we need career teachers to work with children , who are the "future " has some merit .
    Part of the president's original health care reform package was a form of medicaid for those aged 55-64 and this woman was against it , the main reason being that she feared her premiums for Medicaid would increase. Have I mentioned that she owns her home free of mortgage?
    And
  • Paul
    LOL!

    "The rich get rich and the poor get poorer still seems to prevail today"

    And this is some proof of racism to you? You somehow feel that some old lady who sees her pension benefits in jeopardy is racist? You see a rising police state and a sub-standard eduction system teaching collectivist crap as something in need of respect and propping up as if the progenitors of this are "heros"? And this from someone who is old enough to know what the American experiment was all about. I guess you are also one that somehow believes that "capitalism" doesn't work...even though we have had nothing of the sort certainly since 1913.
  • straightstreet1
    I don't know which tea party she's talking about. The tea party I'm affiliated with includes all people who want to keep taxes low and have gov't adhere to the CONSTITUTION. Remember that? I don't know why these people keep trying to assassinate the character of this group.

  • deblongisland
    I totally agree with Meghan and want to thank her for being such a bright young lady. I believe our government needs to have two parties and I am a registered democrat who votes for the candidate and not the party. The tea party is a scary movement with a lot of misinformed people being led by totally racist, cynical politicians.
  • Phil E. Drifter
    Our government needs way more than two parties, but this is how the Federal Reserve boiled it down, to present the illusion of democracy.

    Look at the cowardly Democrats who had a majority in Congress but still could not get a universal health care bill passed! Like that whole skit from Jon Stewart a week or 3 ago; they act like they're in the minority even though they have the majority! Not for much longer though because people will get fed up with them and vote opposite-ticket, like what happened to Ted Kennedy's seat.
  • Courtney Anne
    You go, Meghan! You are so right on everything. The tea party people is nothing more than a bunch of disgusting people, who have no brains. Unfortunatly, racism still lives.
  • shag11
    Bravo for her, and if nothing else, young people should start their own movement. I am befuddled how any minority, women, or anyone with common sense, can be a Republican. Not saying they should be Democrats, who are completely unorganized. But the Republicans where their hatred for
    everyone but white males on their sleeve.
  • Phil E. Drifter
    I knew a fat, I mean obese black kid in college, who was 100% behind McCain, AND Bush, he was like "we have to go to war with Iraq, ... 9/11...WMDs...etc etc.. we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here!'

    And I was like 'facepalm.' It was like he felt empowered that he was this black kid but felt that it was righteous of him to identify with the rich white folk of the Republican party.
  • shag11
    This reads like something Sarah Palin would write.
  • LibDog
    More of this and I just might change my opinion of her.
    But not yet.
  • fiftysomething
    She's right and her father made a terrible mistake by elevating S.Palin to a level that she is surely not capable of. He's lost prestige and power by bringing this pox on us. I think he knew he had screwed the pooch within days of the appointment after he realized what a know nothing polarizing moron she was.
  • Phil E. Drifter
    McCain fell for the advice of the national GOP, because he's a doddering old fool. They were like "oh she's a good old fashioned conservative religious girl, this gov from Alaska! Use her as your running mate and sweep up all the female voters who are angry that Hillary lost the D primary!"

    And he fell for it.

  • how is throwing around terms like "white-trash" not racist? can you make that same kind of comment about any other race and still suspend the disbelief that you're not making raicst comments? "black-trash"? "asian trash"? the irony is killing me.
  • texasaggie
    Say what? You are the one using the term, no one else. It wasn't mentioned in the article and it wasn't mentioned in the video. Where are you coming from?
  • Regardless of all the well-informed, thoughtful members of the Tea Party movement, the racist Americans out there are migrating towards the movement. Since the leadership of the movement will not create a specific and clear statement declaring its complete and udder contempt for racism in any form, it by default embraces it.

    I do feel sorry for the "good" conservatives out there. It must be difficult to make your voice heard among such rabble
  • jtf
    First we had the Barry Goldwater conservatives. Then the Bush neocon authoritarian holy warriors. Now we have the Tea Klux Klan, with one of it’s leaders Tancredo calling for a return to Jim Crow law before a 100% white audience in TN. As Megan McCain stated, the Tea partiers exhibit, “innate racism.”

    Actually, The Tea Party movement is a GIFT to Democrats. A nearly 100% white conservative christian group that has contributed little to national debate, save for extremist rhetoric (death panels, birth certificate, Obama-Nazi-Socialist, etc), led by a failed Gov that had to be schooled in the most basic high school history by the McCain campaign, and who is polling quite low, even among Republicans, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement is poised drag the GOP down or at least fracture it into the thinking branch and the white trash know-nothing branch. Palin is a perfect figurehead for this group.
  • PNUT1
    If there was a literacy test to vote, Tancredo could forget winning any office. The Tea Baggers and Repukes would be the ones to suffer the most. If only there were an IQ test for breeding ( Inbreeding too), we'd rid ourselves of them in a generation.

    First off who the hell is Megan McCain to pass judgment on what a "Tea Party" is?
    It's just another set of talking points being focused upon by the media. The media takes a couple of shitheads and quote something goofy and then package and brand everyone who participates with the those shameful words. Don't be roped in by this kind of crap. Nothing to see here...unless you're a mindless dolt.

    I like Trotsky. You ever read Trotsky? He was a genius. Even John Dewey like him.
  • OldAtlantic
    Liberal brains are susceptible to Trotsky like crack and become Trotskyheads. They call people racist instead of thinking about their own anti-white racism. This is what Trotsky intended.
  • JDouglas
    I've read Ayn Rand, and I've read Leon Trotsky. Trotsky makes logical sense, Rand doesn't. I'm white, male, and I live in a West Virginia trailer park. During earlier years I played jazz drums, most of the time with fantastic black musicians who were also fantastic people. I also, probably, have at least two university degrees more than you do. So take your idiotic and racist, small-minded ship-wrecked mind and paddle out farther into your ocean.
  • Paul
    Rand was correct in every sense, especially about human nature. For someone so well educated your panties seem to be twisted about your eyes. I'll bet you bought out the local head shops supply of "Che" T-Shirts too.

    BTW, before you pull the racist card on me, I am also a Jazz musician and understand that my undergrad degree is from Morgan State University. Guess what that means...

  • Paul
    It's obvious? In what way? That you even go anywhere near the teabagger diatribe outs you as the Blue Jersey sound-biter that you are. Tancredo is hardly a hero to anyone..he is just another Neo-Con trying to usurp the moment for the benefit of the Red Shirts...ain't gonna work.

    The Tea Party people are on the ballots everywhere, some in Red Jerseys, a few in Blue, since the playing field is defined that way, one must play their game by their rules simply because great thionkerws like yourself won't want to "waste" their vote on someone in a third party who "can't win".. But understand the liberty candidates with those Jersey's on are there to fuck-up the agenda, adhered to by both party's, that is being enacted upon us...which is why you see them marginalized by both party's leadership...in favor of more of the same. Turn yer freakin' TV off and stop visiting KOS or Red State ya freakin' idiot.

I can't believe she's popping off out the mouth like this, Her daddy didn't even have the courage to step up to the microphone one time and tell all the racist Palin rally people to go home if they were going to bring all that ridiculous BS to the campaign. Hell, he might have won the election if he had stepped up one time and didn't look like he was passively endorsing the wave of hate that Palin stroked. She should hang out on The View more often, way more cerebral than the off the wall left and right that Joy & Elizabeth offer.

    That the asshole in office is no different from the last asshole in office has nothing at all to do with his color.
  • Phil E. Drifter
    He can't.

    He (stupidly, ignorantly) chose her as his running mater. He can't say anything derogatory about her now, he was dumped into choosing her by the GOP who, I'm sure, just kept pestering him and pestering him until he conceded.

    You should have seen him on Letterman after they lost the election, "Palin blah blah, I don't want to get into it...5 SOLID MINUTES of laughter from the audience, knowing glances between Letterman and John...

    ps: you wanted 'stoked' not 'stroked.' You stoke a fire, you don't stroke it.
  • Paul
    I don't know why, but somehow you ASSUME the HE picked her. Given the Mafioso-esque operation of both parties, under a Don that we have yet to identify, the running mate was chosen for him...I'm sure.
  • Now is way too late, though. If he was going to step up his opportunity was while she was stumping in "real America". Thanks for the correction, noted.

  • wyrdless
    Racism racism racism blah blah blah :::rolling eyes:::
    The tea party movement is once again smeared for having Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Tom Tancredo trying to co-opt the movement.

    Sarah Palin is a creationist, retard who can't even finish a full term as governor, has no policy ideas and no future in other words, Who cares about her?

    Even people who DO care about her will forget after the 2010 and 2012 elections when hundreds of tea party candidates run for office for local, state and national elections.

    I can't wait, it will be a big surprise to anyone not familiar with what is actually happeneing within the tea party movement.

    How can people say 'tea parties are racist' ? Tea Parties are about the budget not race. In fact I don't even hear much about immigration these days, which i presume is why liberals think the tea party is racist.

    Could someone explain this to me in a non-inflammatory manner?
  • Liam

    Gee, I dunno where they got that idea. Maybe it was the signs people brought to rallies with Obama as some witch doctor with a bone through his nose. Nope, not racist at all.

    Spare me the 'it's about the budget not race' tripe. If that was remotely true, then where were all the good citizens during the Bush years, when the deficit was being doubled? When billions of dollars was being flown into Iraq, never to be seen again? Where were all these people?
  • Paul
    Hey dipshit...where were they? Complaining like a muthafucker...to def Republican ears...which is why Bush II was elected and not McCain...as if the Demlicans would do something different. Once they started printing money and debasing what's in your pocket under Bush and voted for and continued by Obama...and in earnest...is when the gloves came off.

    So the defiucit is all Bush's fault? Hell no, there's plenty to go around with criminals of both colors...red and blue.

    Money Supply:
    1980 - 2 Trillion
    1990 - 4 Trillion
    2000 - 6 Trillion
    2007 - 10 Trillion
    2008 - 14 Trillion
    2009 - 21+ Trillion (Thank your boy and his cohorts on both sides of the isle)

    As you obviously understand nothing about what has been going on, understand this, that fractional reserve banking is what creates money...at the push of a button. For every new dollar printed out of thin air, FRB will inflate that dollar by a factor of 9 over the next 4-7 years. Since the lending has been locked up since 2008, all of the money you see printed since then, or 11 Trillion has yet to start making babies. Once it does (and it will..cuz that's what they do), it will become $100 Trillion within the next decade...or it won't since it will collapse long before then.

    Racism? Because a few people out of thousands in a crowd have no sense of political correctness? Sounds like you like like to lump people in groups and spew vapid hate on them yourself...Hmmm...who's the racist here?

    Go to a tea party and find a Bush lover who isn't a GOP plant...good luck.

    I am amused at all of the people who preach that the dems are imposing on their rights when in all actuality it is mostly tea baggers and repubs tearing the constitution to hell. I give Meghan McCain props for having the courage to put it like it is. And If I remember right it is the children of today who are more educated then their parents usually and a big portion of Obama's voters were educated College graduates who mind you could spell the word "VOTE"
  • Paul
    Have you ever read the Constitution? Have you ever read the Bill of Rights, have you ever read The Declaration of Independence? Have you ever read The Federalist Papers? Have you ever read The Anti-Federalist Papers? No. And there's no need to lie, you are not alone. The foundations got control of Education and made sure that you don't know shit from shineola about your own country and what it stood for. The Borg is in evidence and you have been assimilated.

    You somehow think degrees and diploma's impart knowledge. They don't. They are a mark of indoctrination...one which has obviously been very successful in your case. View the Interview with Norman Dodd. Perhaps that will awaken you. Or read the story of Davy Crockett to see how much has been changed...then ask yourself why? And more importantly, to who's benefit...

    The children of today are just as educated as their parents...and in the same manner...except for home schooled whom I find to be much better informed and certainly much better at critical thinking. You have been institutionalized and propagandized and your brain has shut down.

    Read what I began with, and with a critical eye, begin to weigh what is in evidence against what should be. There are many questions in there that, if you endeavor to answer them, will carry you through an enlightening thought process that may serve to deliver you from your chains and provide for a whole new understanding of life...not the one that has been handed to you.

    View Fogy's information as well, perhaps you will see the SAME DIFFERENCE existing within the bounds of I-495. Those that want to lay it all in either Bush..or Obama's lap are so misinformed that it is laughable...and sad at the same time. perhaps you have what it takes to throw off the intellectual bonds that hold you and come to new realizations. Good Luck.

    1- Since when is failure to engage in overt racism "political correctness"? Gee, I thought it was just common human decency. In other words, MORAL correctness, not political. Depicting Obama as a witchdoctor or in blackface, or telling people we ought to go back to the 1950s Jim Crow laws (literacy tests) - is not just "politically incorrect" it is morally wrong. Not just morally wrong, morally bankrupt.

    2- As for it only being a few people out of thousands, silence implies consent. Where are all the thousands of tea baggers telling their fellow tea baggers, hey that's a racist sign you shouldn't be carrying that and if you do, I'm moving way over there because I don't want to be associated with people like you. And what about the spokespeople for the movement? Why don't they speak out against it? Seems to me the only people speaking out against racist tea baggers are the ones on the outside of the tea party movement. Why is that? Because the spokespeople know that if they tell their base not to do or say such racist things, they will lose them....along with all their supporters who don't hold those signs but secretly agree with them. Silence implies consent.
