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.”

Meghan McCain herself is enough reason to support JD—and she should have been enough reason for Sarah, too.
Poor little Megan - she must be using Daddy as an example of what a Republican is all about. No wonder she is dazed and confused.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, should be more nervous about being in the sights of the T.E.A Party than RINO’s. No wonder she’s squealing.
When this witless twit shut up!?!?!?
“Please, please, please, do the country a favor and vote her father out of office, please.”
I think everyone considers her a moron...but you are right, if he goes away, so does she...
Juan McPain hasn’t figured out that he has to tell his daughter to STFU yet.
Good!
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
Full disclosure. ABC’s parent company, Disney, also owns the publishing company that will be putting out Meghan McCain’s book later this year.
The public is being hoodwinked by the partisan press.

More good cop — bad cop from the McCains.
Cindy does a high profile ad supporting gay rights, Meghan is a hardened leftist always in the news, but Juan McCain is all over telling us that he’s a die-hard conservative.
Pffft...only the foolish are fooled.
She said today on the View that she has another book coming out in September. She alluded to the fact that she’s going to take on Palin in this book, at least with respect to her experience with Palin in 2008’s election. IOW, she’ll probably be providing the nail to JD Hayworth that he’ll use to seal McCain’s political coffin.
I wonder if she’s called Jenny yet.
Such disrespect for her elders. Meghan, from a member of your generation, please just shut up and shove another Twinkie in your mouth.
Meghan you are not a republican. I don’t care what you think you are but I know what I think you are and it is most certainly not a republican.
Oh please, somebody flush this walking toilet.
Yeah Meghan. The Reagan Revolution was just a bunch of pantywaist RINO kids.
Then she started to talk and I just flipped the channel.........she is just simply clueless.
Pathetic and desperate Meghan wants media fame. She and her silly mother both even posed with duct tape across their mouths.
Oh brother. Stuff a sock in it, sister. Your ignorance knows no bounds.
I came for the boobie pic. Where is it?
