Meghan McCain Disagrees With Palin's Double Standard On 'Retarded' (VIDEO)

Meghan McCain believes Sarah Palin's double standard for Rahm Emanuel and Rush Limbaugh is "what's wrong with politics today."

McCain weighed in on Palin's hypocrisy on Monday when she appeared as a guest host on "The View."

In addition to Palin's contradictory standards on the use of the word "retard," McCain also disagreed with the former Alaska governor's suggestion that Obama should declare war with Iran to win re-election.

When Barbara Walters asked McCain what her father thought about a possible presidential run by Palin, she played it safe and said she'd have a book out in August and would talk about it then.

and who gave us the rogue cannon, Comrade Wolfkiller Palin? Why it was Megan's dad - old man McCain - who app[arenlt likes waffles a lot based on how he's changing his positions to get reelected. McCain picked a uniquely UNQUALIFIED ad COMPLETELY IGNORANT woman because she prays to jesus and has T&A. DISGRACEFUL and SHAMEFUL.

Isn't it good and strong of you to stand up and speak your mind and not be a meat puppet like so many
that just play along to get along. Keep it up.

It's interesting that she brings out such hatred from CONS!

Just look at all the bridge dwellers here trying to put her down and pretending to speak for all Americans.

Meghan has more cred than her father ever will.

aww whatsamatter? Truth hurt so you revert to childish comments like this?

Palin is a joke doing anything for attention including lying like a cheap rug.

Another example of a Palin smoke and mirror.......she uses this when it is to her advantage, not because she really cares.

I will never agree with Megan about politics, but I do admire the way she advances her political views, pretty much avoiding lies and appeals to racism.

That's funny, in a recent poll, Sarah is catching Obama, and Romney is tied with him...unless Obama does a 180 like Clinton did on the advice of Dick Morris, he will lose in 2012. The American people can't stomach his so.cia.list, a.n.ti-free market policies.

If Americans can't stomach President Obama, they will be puking up their intestines at the very thought of president Palin!
GAG!!!!

No, you see, middle America, which I call real Americans, because it drives you northeast sn.ob.bish liberals nuts, love Sarah Palin because her ideas/policies of common sense constitutional principles resonate with the American people...she is honest and decent and you aren't used to that from your liberal/progressive leaders, which they are neither...

First off Rassmussen is a rightwing polling outfit despite any belief to the contrary.

Second off WHERE do YOU get off speaking for the American people?

All the American people I have spoken too have said Palin would make Bush look like an worldwide Statesman.

VERY few people in every poll think she is presidential material.

BUT I sure hope she is the GOP nominee because it would give Obama the biggest landslide in history.

What a quick-change artist you are drudgeman; fiirst she's intelligent and honest now she's dingy and uneducated What is that all about?

[drudgeman1]

11:29 AM on 02/12/2010

Never said she was intelligent and honest...she's just another din.gy progressive that doesn't realize that she is being used as a useful id.iot, similar to your situation.

Palin's semantic stretch to rationalize Limbaugh's tirade against the disabled was beyond hollow. The whole world has watched her throw her own child under the wheels of her political ambition .. but it will make no difference .. she has jumped the shark so many times it seems like the steeplechase.

The view should replace Elizabeth (Hannity) Hasselbeck with Magan McCain!!!

[ywcachieve]

12:57 AM on 02/11/2010

They will not replace the self righteous, ultra conservation Elisabeth. I think the producer, Bill I think his name, will never let her go. He is a Republican, and Elisabeth is the best thing to happen to him, for the shoe. She is his mouthpiece on stage.

Everytime I see Sarah Palin or hear anything about her, the name Jezebel pops into my mind. Unfortunately, people have misused the term to talk about a wanton woman, but the bible version of Jezebel is so fascinating. The fair queen was a very manipulative woman. She was thirsty for power. She would do anything to have her way. She was popular for a while, but eventually the people saw her for what she was and threw her out the window where the dogs ate her remains. I wish NO HARM to Sarah Palin, but I figure that one day the right wingers will at least throw her under the bus. It's not going to be pretty. Sarah is an absolute hypocrite. This double talk about Rush being able to use the word, but Rahm cannot proves the point.

One of the most insightful reads of this "so called" lady that I have read so far. Brilliant!

While I don't agree with Meghan McCain, she does at least have a factual point of view and isn't making up lies to convince people of nonsence. She is the closest thing to a Barry Goldwater Conservative. I hope that she leads a movement to retake the GOP, because America needs a functional two-party system, not a bunch of crackpots lying to people or channeling their inner racist.

I think the McCain's have done enough damage to the GOP for one family already. The only difference between McCain and Obama is I doubt McCain would bow as much.

If McCain were President, we'd almost certainly be at war with Iran and we'd have caught bin Laden (or at least, so he says).

[johnr49]

Oh, and I nearly forgot - McCain announced the fundamentals of the economy were strong when we were on the verge of a recession.

Are you kidding me? Here's the airhead of the century (apparently) and the rest of the liberal elite. Rush Limbaugh even stated before he began his monologue that he was going to say the things he did to get a reaction from the left, and it worked. They keep taking what he says out of context for their own agenda. Then you have Ms. Smith, who must be successful, crying with the election of Obama saying that there is nothing to hold her daughter back from doing whatever she wants. Ummm, how did she become a television personality before the election of Obama? Guess that change came REAL fast. They need to change the name of the show to The Liberal View.

You really should get out more. If you can't recognize hypocracy when it's that obvious because you're blinded by brainwashing there's a serious problem. Not to mention Rahm's statement was made in private...Rush's statement was made to millions.

No one has even attempted to explain how what Rush said was somehow satire...because it OBVIOUSLY wasn't.

Like Whoopie Goldberg said it would be different if Druggie Limbaugh said it onstage at Carolines Comedy Club. I will never understand why when it's a Republican saying something nasty, they claim that everyone else has taken it the wrong way. Rahm shouldn't have said what he said and he apologized. Limbaugh has never/will never apologize for anything.
I find it funny that Republicans call liberals "elite". I always thought that being elite was being at the top, superior, etc. What could be wrong with that? Clearly there are a few people in this country who would rather have a certain woman sitting in the Oval Office...because she is just like them...just regular folk. And, just think...to make her and the US appear stronger she suggests starting a war. She recommended Iran for Obama, but would she choose the same?...or, would it be North Korea? I am beginning to really wonder about the whole "2012 End of the World" thing! Wow!

How could it be a bad thing having someone more brilliant than most people in the entire world in the Oval Office? And, no, I am not all about "Blame it on Bush" for the mess we are in because the Republican majority in the Congress were the ones in charge of making all the decisions about how the money was spent and they spent it like crazy. If it's all about big gov't & overspending where were all the tea party people then?
