It's innate racism and I think it's why young people are turned off by this movement. And I'm sorry, but 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.

1. revolutions start with young people? Tell that to Ben Franklin toots.

Obviously she was edumakated under No Child Left A Dime....

[Political Heretic]

2. Um.. its typically true.

[Mari333]

8. yeah, a DRAFT might wake a few of them up

it did in the past.

[Donnachaidh]

19. really? And what are your sources on that?

Seriously -- links please.

[Political Heretic]

22. Any history book.

Take your pick, there are several.

[Posteritatis]

7. I somehow doubt Franklin's typical of the revolutionary forces. (nt)

[Donnachaidh]

20. so all those old white guys who spearheaded the American Revolution

didn't? Is that what you're saying?

[Kerrytravelers]

3. It's racism, yes. And also a fair share of pure stupidity.

Their racism just brought them together.

[alsame]

4. Good for her! nt

[FrenchieCat]

5. Problem for them is without the racism, they have no movement.

[JI7]

14. yup, but you will still get DUers saying they are on our side

while bashing Obama.

[Mari333]

6. she might be a lot more effective if she spoke a wee bit more eloquently

'um, excuse me but like excuse me but revolutions begin with young people..' (cue: flip hair, pop bubble gum)

aw , well, wish I were around when she hits 65. hahahaha. she will freak out.

as for the tea party people..I saw a lot of ages there. dumb does not discriminate when it comes to any age group.

9. Tea Party = Subset of Republican Party.

But good for Meghan anyway.

[LynneSin]

10. Sorry Meghan - you want me to take you seriously, you need to look at your own party you support

The Tea Party IS a part of the republican party. Those were REPUBLICANS that spoke at the convention including your dad's former running mate.

11. Just not true. Since they focussed so much on Barry's proclivity to show courtesy, it is a

Bowel Movement.

12. K&R

13. I saw her speaking on the View this morning

And while I understand her point about the young being the main energy of revolution, as usual there's something the young need to know about we the Baby Boomin' Geezers.

Aside from the obvious racism & stupidity of Tancredo's comments, all I could think about for hours afterward were the 3 young Civil Rights workers killed by Klansmen in Mississippi. That's why they died. The young college kids traveled from all over this country to help Black voters register in a horribly prejudiced state with laws designed to keep them from voting.

Meghan McCain seems like an intelligent, caring GOPer who doesn't want to be contaminated with obstructionist partisanship or particularly with Teabagging jerks. Good for her, and other Republicans like her.

But she needs to stop & perhaps meditate a little more deeply on the words of these sick bass turds. I think she needs to visualize their rhetorical grandstanding printed on a ballot covered in blood, instead of foolishly written on their palms. And only the geezers can shout loudly enough to help her & the others do that. We lived through it. These people are a raging danger, not simply a bunch of idiotic goofs.

15. At least someone is doing it!

Kudos to Meghan McCain. She may be a bimbo, but at least she's trying.

[JBoy]

16. Props to Meghan! Nothing but crickets from the rest of the GOP.

[democracy1st]

17. Meghan baby you need to just become a independent you're not going to change these people

[Grand Taurean]

18. A broken clock is right twice a day.

On this and gay rights, she is on the good side.
Otherwise, she is still a corporate supporting tool who lives off of a trust fund.

[etherealtruth]

21. At least she has spoken out on some significant issues ....

More than most.
