Predictable: Meghan McCain Attacks Michelle Malkin
She has attacked Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Karl Rove, and most other conservatives, so it was only a matter of time before Meghan McCain spewed her RINO (Republican In Name Only) venom at Michelle Malkin.
McCain complains of an effort by “extreme female conservatives” to bully her into leaving the party, which is of course phony.
The two main problems with Meghan McCain are that she’s a willing pawn of the left, and worse, doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about.
Take this paragraph from her Malkin hit piece for example: (emphasis mine)
I don’t know exactly what about me threatens them so much, other than that people are listening to me. Malkin has the No. 1 book on The New York Times bestseller hardcover nonfiction list, but I have nearly twice as many Twitter followers as she does. And trust me, Twitter is more of an indication of where young people are than books published by the hyper-conservative publisher Regnery—which will be bringing you Carrie Prejean’s new book and published one of Ann Coulter’s.
How can someone who makes such asinine claims be taken seriously? Why would the republican party want such an ignorant person on the talk show circuit bloviating about what the GOP should do?
People like Rove, Coulter, and Malkin who’ve spent decades advancing the conservative agenda (usually with great success) should be ignored.
Instead, a 25-year old former Kerry supporter who’s been a republican for a whole year should be the new face of the GOP?
Yeah, right.
Meghan McCain may indeed have a lot of Twitter followers, but she’s not too bright.
If you want to read someone who is bright, pick-up Michelle Malkin’s new book Culture Of Corruption.

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?
My Beef With Meghan McCain’s Beef With Ann Coulter
In her latest column, Meghan McCain opines on why she dislikes Ann Coulter and finds her damaging to the republican party.
To make matters worse, certain individuals continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Republicans. Especially Republican women. Who do I feel is the biggest culprit? Ann Coulter. I straight up don’t understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time. But no matter how much you or I disagree with her, the cult that follows Coulter cannot be denied…
Coulter could be the poster woman for the most extreme side of the Republican Party. And in some ways I could be the poster woman for the opposite. I consider myself a progressive Republican…I have been a Republican for less than a year. Still, even after losing the election, I find myself more drawn to GOP ideals and wanting to fight for the party’s resurgence. And if figureheads like Ann Coulter are turning me off, then they are definitely turning off other members of my generation as well.
I’m often criticized for not being a “real” Republican, and I have been called a RINO—Republican In Name Only—in the past. Many say I am not “conservative enough,” which is something that I am proud of. It is no secret that I disagree with many of the old-school Republican ways of thinking. One of the biggest issues from which I seem to drift from the party base is in my support of gay marriage. I am often criticized for previously voting for John Kerry and my support of stem-cell research. For the record, I am also extremely pro-military and a big supporter of the surge and the Iraq war.
I understand where Meghan is coming from to a great extent. Putting aside her vote for John Kerry (which is inexcusable under any circumstances) I think she feels the way a lot of young republicans do. I’m only two years older than Meghan and my republican friends are certainly more liberal than our party elders. I’m a hardcore republican that also happens to be pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-guns, and pro-God. I’m also pro-marijuana legalization and pro-comprehensive immigration reform.
But at the same time, I can’t stand liberals. Let me be clear, I didn’t say I can’t stand democrats, I said I can’t stand liberals. Basically, all democrats who call themselves “progressives” — I don’t like you. Even though I believe some changes in our country are needed like allowing gay marriage and legalizing pot, I don’t want to radically and fundamentally change everything about America. I would rather die than sit back and allow Nancy Pelosi to remake our country into another broken down Europe.
Which is where Ann Coulter comes in. I happen to be an enormous fan of Ann Coulter. I think she’s one of the smartest women in our party. Does she say controversial things frequently? You bet your ass she does — and I love it. The far left in America are the most hateful, vicious, slimy, despicable cretins that God ever put on this earth. They own the media, Hollywood, academia, congress, and The White House. The cast of left-wing bomb throwers they trot out to bash republicans on a constant basis is too lengthy to even attempt to list. Kids are indoctrinated in colleges across the country with radical Marxist viewpoints from “distinguished” professors like (unrepentant terrorist) William Ayers. Parent’s are paying $30,000 dollars a year for their kid to graduate a Jew hating, Hamas loving, Anti-American, global warming whacko.
Therefore it’s important to have someone like Ann Coulter who isn’t afraid to walk into the belly of the beast and take the cretins on. When republicans try and play fair they get eaten alive. So it’s nice to see Ann Coulter stick liberals right in the eye and do it with a smile on her face. The best thing about Ann is that whatever vicious thing she’s saying about liberals is 99% of the time true, but most republicans are too pussy to say it. When Ann called John Edwards a faggot, I swear the clouds parted and it got just a little brighter outside. We all knew Edwards was the biggest phony assed little sissy boy we’d ever seen — but Ann was able to perfectly articulate it.
Nobody makes liberals squirm more than Ann Coulter. No liberal can out debate her and that makes them absolutely frothy with rage — and makes me cackle with delight.
What Meghan McCain doesn’t get is that if we are a party of only moderate, calm voices we’ll get rolled over. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. The liberal media uses every low-down dirty tactic imaginable to damage republicans and smear them or personally attack them. Through her books and television appearances, Ann delivers a swift kick to the groin right back at them — only she uses facts rather than lies.
The problem the republican party faces right now is that we only have the Ann Coulter’s, the Rush Limbaugh’s, the Sean Hannity’s, and the Mark Levin’s. What we need is some real leadership in the party who can backup the fiery rhetoric of Ann Coulter with some substantive policies. To just have Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh howling about the left, without republican politicians offering real policy alternatives then we have nothing.
Ann Coulter is a valuable member of the republican party and an extremely important voice. If we can just get some ballsy GOP politicians to step up with Coulter we’ll be in good shape. One of the biggest misconceptions about the GOP that young people have (courtesy of the left-wing media) is that republicans are intolerant. Nothing in reality could be further from the truth. We need to make sure that pro-choice folks know they’re welcome, gays are welcome, and minorities are welcome.
It’s the left that is intolerant. If you don’t follow progressive orthodoxy to the letter you had best pack your bags. Not only will you be thrown out of the party, but you’ll smeared and viciously maligned. Character assassination and black balling are hallmarks of the left and more and more moderate democrats are coming to realize this.
Jim Cramer who hosts “Mad Money” on CNBC had the nerve to attack Obama’s economic plan and got a little taste of left-wing “tolerance.” He said he was shocked at how mean, nasty, and personally he was attacked. The same goes for NPR’s Juan Williams who’s a frequent guest on Fox News. He said there’s no question as to who’s intolerant in this country. Liberals don’t seek to defeat their political opponents — they seek to destroy them and their family.
I don’t want to veer to much off topic, but those are the reasons people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are needed. For some reason, many republicans don’t understand this. Politics is a blood sport and we have to have soldiers on our side willing to crack some skulls every now and again.
