Meghan McCain Strikes Back at NY Times 'Hit Piece'
Politics Daily ^ | 2009-05-24

Posted on 05/24/2009 5:34:25 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

New York Times blogger Judith Warner dug into Meghan McCain with gusto, posting a concern-trolling piece about Meg's appearance on the Colbert Report. She writes that she "feels sorry" for Meg:

I really have no business feeling sympathy for a wealthy, pretty, well-connected recent Columbia grad who's already been given a political blog by Tina Brown, who's already been paid a reported high six figures to write on the future of the Republican party, and who, despite it all, was foolish enough to go on "The Colbert Report" on Monday night and call herself "a 24-year-old pro-sex woman."

I suppose the success or failure of Meg's appearance on Colbert is a subjective matter, but it is easy to see that her guest spot is consistent with her public persona. She's proudly free-spirited and outspoken, and is known for mixing the political with the apolitical.

The piece goes on to compare her with 24 anti-heroine Kim Bauer, and goes downhill from there.

Meghan McCain isn't taking her trashing lying down, most recently by tying this with the NY Times' previous attack on her father, and their suggestion about his fidelity. Via Meg's Twitter feed:

I think the NY times should write a hit piece about every member of my family. Already got 3 down, my 17 year old sister can be next. Such amazing journalism

Meghan McCain deserves whatever she is getting. Rinos end up offending both sides.

If John McCain was truly a republican he would never have let his kid go to Columbia!

She doesn't deserve a six figure income as a pundit, which is what the source says.

Yep. The MSM will from now hypnotize the weak-minded that Megan and Powell are the faces of GOP.

If John McCain was truly a republican, he would have won the election. IMHO.

No she doesn’t deserve a six-figure income for blabbing. Nobody cares about her. She should just go away. The more she blabs the more both Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives dislike her.

Megan doesn’t have enough sense to be embarrassed.

So true. RINO’s conform to the image the liberal establishment has of them out of a need for acceptance. They fail to realize that the same establishment neither accepts nor respects them, and conservatives do not either. These passionless souls live in a season less world where the unsure and lukewarm dwell; afraid to take a stand and distinguish themselves as people of conviction and integrity.

It is to these that hell has assigned the greater punishment.

“Why does this chick get so much press ?”

Because she is anti-conservative. The left does not much mind Republicans. They are useful to give cover to rats for left wing schemes. But conservatives are hated because, unlike most Republicans, conservatives have a different worldview than the left.

Any R that helps assault the conservative worldview is welcome in the left’s big tent.

She does look like it might be fun to be with her, if she had a case of total laryngitis.

Give Megan and that little Pinch each an AK and maybe they will do society a favor and do each other in.

For the same reasons Cindy Sheehan and the Dixie Chicks did.
