Meghan McCain Continues Republican Bashing Media Tour
If you’re a republican bashing republicans you can can expect the royal treatment and an almost unlimited platform from the media to air your views. Such is the case with Meghan McCain.
What I find most irritating about Meghan is the way in which she goes about flogging her opinions. The whole thing is just so painfully predictable. We’ve seen it time and time again.
If you’re a republican and you want a media career just bash other republicans. If you’re a washed up hack republican and want a new lease on life you just bash other republicans. In less than twenty four hours your schedule will be booked solid for the next month.
You can hit Olbermann, Matthews, and Maddow one week. Then hit Larry King, Fareed what’s his name, and maybe Wolf Blitzer the next week. By week three you really begin to hit your stride with an appearance on The View.
Accuse republicans of being small minded bigots and homophobes and you can squeeze another few weeks of TV out of it at the least.
Meghan McCain knows exactly what she’s doing. This is about her finding a career as a so-called republican for her dad’s sake, but still get to attend the liberal cocktail party circuit. It’s blatant, it’s obvious, and it’s sick.
This all started with Meghan attacking Ann Coulter in a column on The Daily Beast. I was happy to see Ann respond in the most effective way she could have — not responding at all. Ann hasn’t so much as mentioned Meghan McCain. That was a far more brutal way to respond than anything she could have said. Her silence spoke for itself.
Let me also say, I’m sympathetic to many of Meghan’s views. I’m only 27 and don’t share many of the socially conservative views that elders in the party do. However, I don’t criticize the wing of the party that is conservative, because they are an important element.
I also believe in loyalty, and attacking people in the party who’ve done far more than I to spread the republican brand is foolish and immature. I also think throwing people under the bus for the sake of a media career is disgusting.
Appearing on MSNBC to bash republicans is high treason as far as I’m concerned.
Here’s Meghan’s most recent appearance on Larry King. Oddly enough, she won’t appear on O’Reilly even though he’s invited her numerous times. I wonder why that is?
