Barron Hilton upset by John McCain’s ad
Paris Hilton’s publicly denied that Paris gave permission to John McCain to use her image, but just recently, John McCain received a furious phone call from Paris’ grandfather Barron Hilton.
Unfortunately, the Hilton family had donated a great sum of money to the presidential candidate before he promoted the media-image of Paris Hilton in an ad campaign against another semi Paris-hater Barack Obama. What a mess!
Well, now the ad has backfired against against John McCain and has raised racial issues.
Promoting the media-image of Paris Hilton was rude enough to me.

It wasn’t a great ad, but I don’t think Mccain needed her permission. Permission isn’t needed every time an image is used, not if it’s newsworthy, political speech, etc. It’s not like he asked and received Obama’s permission. Oh well, neither’s that great, but it does perpetuate Paris’ famous for nothing image, which is why I imagine the Hilton’s are upset.

I have the feeling Paris doesn’t like McCain…I hope so, atleast. I really don’t like it when rich benefactors give millions to a political campaign, so, sorry Paris, if you’re reading this, but I must decry those actions of your family. I still ♥ you though!!!!!!

they didn’t give millions. that’s illegal, the maximum allowed by and individual is i think about $2500.00. which was given by rick and kathy. not paris’ grandfather, william barron. and i doubt grampy even called mccain. he’s a very private and reculsive man so that doesn’t ring true all the way around. however, kathy reportedly (by E! news) did comment against the ad.
