Sarah Palin's Daughter, Piper Palin, And Meaghan McCain Make "Girl Power" Video

John McCain's daughter Meaghan and Sarah Palin's youngest daughter, Piper, made a video the day after her mother was announced as the GOP's Vice Presidential nominee. Palin has accused the media and democrats of attacking her family. On the flip side, Palin has been accused of being too public with her family.

Like Megan McCain, I get emotional when I hear Governor Palin talk.

I recall the video I watched of her radio interview in January. The hosts mocked an Alaska legislator, who is a cancer survivor. They called her "a cancer on Alaska" and joked about her weight, calling her a disgusting name. Palin thought it was pretty funny and told the guys she'd be "honored" to have them visit her as Governor.

I get really emotional - disturbed, actually - when I think of Palin, who has no regard for a person's health issues, ending up in the White House.

The kids. Wouldn't want to publicize them, eh?
Exploitation from a to z.

[LynndaMaree]

Why doesn't the McCain girl have her sister in the video with her?

[beautifuldisaster]

You mean his adopted daughter from Bangledesh or his other two daugthers from previous marriage?

[mphalen]

Because they gave away the pretty one.

[blackbirdpie]

Oh give me an f-in break you dimwits.

I think the attack came when there were so many vicious comments about Trig's parentage by posters on Huffington Post and Daily Kos. I've read some very irresponsible comments and articles since Governor Palin's announced candiacy.

Discussing her record and her views is fair but when you start in on personal attacks, the line of decency is crossed. Just step back and read the entries in this article alone. Wow - is all this swing voter can say. Obama supporters really practice what he preaches. How effective would he be as President when he can't seem to influence his supporters to be decent in how they treat the opponent?

And don't give me the standard answer. The Rethugs (I think that is how you refer to them) do it and they are much worse. Two wrongs still don't make a right.

Are you kidding? Obama’s campaign did not make this clip…Who is exploiting these kids? Who is the hypocrite? Your choice of candidate has called Obama everything in the book except a child of God...Prac­tice what YOU preach...O­bama’s family and his values have been under attack from day one...Don'­t try to get righteous on us now…Your party didn’t even like your candidate until he brought in an radical extremist conservative - who by the way, is a really good liar…I don’t care if she has five kids – I don’t think the fact that she has kids should be a positive or a negative for or against her…If she does not want her parenting to be an issue, stop bringing it up and putting it in our faces…I am a Christian…I am a mom…I am very successful in my career…I don’t need rhetoric or a pit-bull…I need solutions.

Barack can only behave as he believe's and he has behaved with dignity and respect to others. John McCain has thrown lies and personal attacks in his advertising. Obama can't control free people, that would be a dictatorship and this is america where free speech rules. We are fighting mad and nice got us nowhere in the last two elections. We have had ENOUGH!

[SwingVoter82]

YES. This election is not a pretty one. Palin is not addressing any real issues in a real way. How is she going to change America when she has been fighting with other AK politicians for years?

She just isn't the "hockey mom" that she claims. Just because she can wear a smile and lie (big jet profit) doesn't mean she is taking the high road. As Americans, we all love our nation and want what is best for Her. To attack the quote angry left is a ridiculous and divisive theme in this campaign. How on Earth would they ever unite if they are taking cheap shots already? Obama has maintained a strong and ethical stance - ignore Rove for once, Jylnc.

[bryan0218]

How effective would McCain he be as President when he allows himself to be influenced by right wing neocon conservatives like William Kristol and Rush Limbaugh? These 2 et al have been tauting Gov Palin for months. Whether Obama can influence what the bloggers say is irrelevant, it is when the bloggers start influencing what Obama says is when you have the problem.

Seriously, since Palin paraded her family on stage , the question of why Bristol had a blanket over her entire body had been anwered but look at Palin's body and Bristol's, who would you think is the nursing mom?
Vote for issues: EQUAL PAY, WOMEN'S CHOICE, UNIVERSAL HEALTH INSURANCE, VETS BENEFITS.

Are you kidding? Obama’s campaign did not make this clip. Who is exploiting these kids? Who is the hypocrite? Your choice of candidate has called Obama everything in the book except a child of God. Practice what YOU preach. Obama’s family and his values have been under attack from day one. Don't try to get righteous on us now. Your party didn’t even like your candidate until he brought in a radical extremist conservative - who by the way, is a really good liar. I don’t care if she has five kids – I don’t think the fact that she has kids should be a positive or a negative for or against her. If she does not want her parenting to be an issue, stop bringing it up and putting it in our face. I am a Christian. I am a mom. I am very successful in my career. I don’t need rhetoric or a pit-bull. I need solutions.

Meantime, Cheney was in Georgia to give them one billion US $$$ so they'd keep believing
we'll support them in a struggle with Russia. HaHa they don't understand our sense of humor
and the MSM doesn't see fit to place that story above the Palin girl wiping spit on her little
brother's head.
Priorities will be served.

[cricket]

i think bbc (british) caught up on the story and almost blatantly said cheney trip was to get oil by showing all the oil pipeline routes to turkish ports to get oil out to mediterranean.

[littleBrit]

Presumably, he signed up Halliburton to do the rebuilding and provide security!

[TheBrizz]

Meghan McCain would be the only good thing about a McCain win on Nov. 4. I'm not even gonna front; she's hot.

[airius]

Hell yeah!

[RRonin]

Gotta admit, she's a cutie.

[kotexbarbie]

She looks just like her father McBOOBS!

[Jessegirl]

Boobies.

[coffeebaby]

sheesh... is she knocked up too/

[LITU]

Sorry Meaghan, but this woman is against the majority of women in this country. We live in a democracy where majority rules.

As well spoken as you are, you lack critical thinking skills.

[Hufferton]

Can the unbiased women here tell me if Ms. McCain’s state of dress appropriate considering her very young companion and the message?

On the other hand, are we men just assuming too much and being boorish? This is a serious question. Thank you.

[TN]

She and her mother share the bleach bottle. They look cheap even with 300,0000 dollar outfits.

[WhackArnolds]

Lame. She has some fantastic boobs though. I think she should just keep hanging out with Heidi "Horse face" Montag.

[Melissa]

Good God! You people are sick!

[Tracy Saunders - Huffpost Blogger]

Wait a minute, I don't get it. The McCain campaign and its supporters keep telling the media to stop reporting on Bristol Palin because the children of politicians are off limits. But today CNN reported Meghan McCain, John McCain's daughter, posted a video of herself and Piper Palin asking the public to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket..

Crazy, huh? The Republicans don't have to be held accountable for anything they say or do, in their minds.

[connorin]

Maybe they should just appear on Access Hollywood then?

[GoneGreen]

The operative word for Republicans -- both as to strategy and against others -- is DOUBLETHINK. The ability to hold, and believe, two contradictory ideas at the same time. Most of the reason that the Republican Doublethink strategy is so appalling to the rest of us is that we can SEE both ideas, and the resulting internal dissonance leaves one unable to respond . . .

If you can't make the distinction between kids making a pitch for their parents and vicious media attacks on kids, I wouldn't know how I could help you.

[LITU]

Vicious media attacks? How about lies and deliberate deception by the candidates? When the family members become ambassadors, they also become fair game.

[amaraya]

I find Meaghan McCain insufferable

[Mattie]

seriously, Obama supporters are attacking children and babies with Down Syndrome. Hope, change, unity, gotta love it.

[estreya]

Mattie, you know that's not so. Just stop it already.

[amaraya]

Really? We're attacking babies with Down Syndrome? Care to elaborate?

[faithfully]

be specific

[coloradobee]

Reaaallly.­..I am an Obama supporter, and I have a son who has Down Syndrome. Strange, but I have not detected even a tiny whiff of an attack. Believe me-it would catch my attention. Try another tactic.

[LynndaMaree]

Show that to me in print, I certainly haven't heard in on TV.

[Jingo]

Meghan McCain graduated from college with a degree in art history. Obviously, she was only there to find a husband and failed miserably. Now in a desperate response to all the attention Bristol Palin is getting, Meghan has kidnapped Piper Palin to adopt as her own. It was a smart move to wear a tank top and squish her assets together, but a kidnapped daughter and a voice like a middle-school cheerleader will not get her married. Alas, she may have to wait until her mother passes on the family fortu...uh­hh legacy to settle down.

[connorin]

If she was a liberal with an art history major, you would find her to be an intellectu­al,,,HYPOC­RITE

[LITU]

Except that we know that intellectuals are liberals so it follows that Meaghan is a closet liberal; otherwise, she majored in art history in order to recognize all those stolen paintings. (tongue in cheek)

Her problem, from my perspective, is that she fails the critical thinking test. Sarah Palin takes no position in favor of women. Why would this young, edumacated woman support her?

Prove me wrong.

[kj593]

Where is McCain's adopted daughter?

[Northwest01]

She is locked up back in her room. She is only a good "story" that is used by Cindy, but for family photo ops, not so much. I feel this is a form of emotional child abuse.

[cricket]

good point. Emotional child abuse could be possible. stepmotherly treatment

[LynndaMaree]

Locked up in the back of the family private jet with the keys.
