"Useful Idiot" Watch [Meghan McCain]
Laura Ingraham ^ | 2009-03-16

Posted on 03/16/2009 5:37:23 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Memo to Meghan McCain: Enjoy the media coverage while it lasts, but know you're being used. You are the flavor of the month in left-wing media land because you are a Republican bashing the GOP. Likewise, your dad is most popular among the same people when he is slamming his Republican brethren in full-blown "maverick" fashion. At least he backs up his views with a lifetime of sacrifice and public service. What is Ms. McCain's own political, business, or real-world experience that lends credibility to her argument that the GOP needs to "moderate" (read: abandon its core principles)?

Now the Left is seizing on one satirical line from our show to paint Meghan as the victim of a right-wing hate crime. This comes from the same playbook responsible for the ongoing demonization of Rush Limbaugh -- where his take on President Obama's economic policies are misrepresented as some kind of attack on America. Their goal is to malign outspoken conservatives (specifically in talk radio) as members of a radical fringe movement whose right to free speech is questionable at best.

The left's indignation in this instance is manufactured and totally phony. If any off-the-cuff remark about a woman's size was condemnable, then where was the outrage when President Obama made a passing reference to Jessica Simpson's "weight battle" during his Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer? And of course they look the other way when obvious personal attacks are levied against conservatives. Remember when Al Franken was the toast of all media for his book "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot"? Last month The View's Joy Behar called him a "fat guy"; and when I was a guest on The View a few years back she ridiculed Ann Coulter and me as "peroxide" blondes on Fox. I laughed it off. If you can't stand the heat...get out of the punditry business.

Next time, just for fun, Meghan should pretend that she's had a change of heart and is now a pro-life conservative. Then she'll really see how the Mean Girls treatment feels.

The circular firing squad is really helpful. We have a Marxist president who sees it as his mission in life to Eurosocialize our country and conservatives on our side are busy attacking an irrelevant Meghan McCain.

That's what happens when the enemy breaches your perimeter and passes herself off as one of your comrades at arms.

I wrote Meghan McCain off a while back when she admitted she voted for John Kerry in ‘04.

I would say that is as good a reason as any.

Hah, a Fox analyst said tonight exactly what I posted on this forum last week almost word for word.....and she got paid for her remarks and I didn't, LOL.

Nutmeghan got used to the bright lights and celebrity during her father's campaign and now she's got herself right back into it again with her idiotic, inflammatory remarks to reporters and on TV.

In plain English, she's an Attention Whore.

Furthermore, she's a deceitful, lying little furball when she says she's a Republican.

Her career as a genuine ditzy Dumbocrat is off to a good start.

Amen. Equally annoying is the sad, probable truth that the silly girl’s father is giving her atta-girl plaudits for puffy punditry.

Why did Admin Moderator delete your comment about Rush Limbaugh on this thread?

Did you use the word "cokehead"?
