Meghan McCain Says Tea Party Has Racist Undertone

I want to believe the tea party's about fiscal conservatism. I'm all for being fiscally prudent, but evidence at these tea party gatherings keeps pointing to the fact that many white people are despondent about a changing nation, one in which white people aren't almighty. Tom Tancredo railed against Hispanics at the tea party.

The election of Obama sent them over the cliff.

Tea partiers weren't concerned when Bush was bankrupting the nation because Bush was one of them. He shared their White Christian Nation values. As Glenn Beck has stated, it's a "white culture" thing. Many tea partiers don't even believe Obama is Christian.

“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. More at Raw Story (video too).
