It is no secret that being a Republican isn’t the most hip political stance a person can take right now. President Obama has successfully established himself as the hippest politician around. You know you’re big when Katy Perry wears a dress with your face on it to host the MTV Europe Music Awards. To my fellow Republicans: I’m sorry, I wish I could be more positive about the current “hipness” of our party. But being a Republican is about as edgy as Donny Osmond. Granted, being “hip” is not a reason to join a political party, or a reason to agree with its ideals. But it is a way to get the attention of a generation—or, more specifically, my generation.
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. She is a New York Times best-selling author and one of the most notable female members of the Republican Party. She was one of the headliners at the recent CPAC conference (but when your competition is a teenager who has a dream about the Republican Party and Stephen Baldwin, it’s not really saying that much).

Where’s the beef?
Hipness does wear off.
Values and beliefs tend to endure.
I happen to like Ann Coulter, she’s a lightning rod for Democratic angst.
Figures you’d defend that radical Coulter. ;o)
“hip”
the very idea of a political stance being “hip” is revulsive, and pathetic.
these are life & death matters. do... you... see?
And RINO angst too, apparently
I used to think more of her until I found out she had a penchant for liberal men. It made me question if it really WAS a schtick.
Zip it Meghan.
This dunderhead doesn’t realize the only reason she gets any attention at all is because she disses prominent conservatives. She’s worried about “hip”. And that’s understandable considering she’s a clueless twit.
Which liberal men?
My guess Meghan has taken a leaf out of her old man’s book, and decided that the best way to get noticed by the MSM is to take pot shots not at the Democrats but at a “fellow” Republican.
There is nothing “edgy” about getting in the longest line and taking the easiest path. Quit giving the Left kudos which they do not merit.
Being a rugged individualist and a freedom fighter is always edgy.
Be happy with having just cause and forget about being popular.

I wonder how many houses Megan will inherit?
Ann Coulter is so much edgier and cooler than that fat little Trust Funder McCain will ever be. Tubby is just jealous because Ann looks more like McCain’s trophy wife than does her homely daughter.
Where did all of this come from. Has Ann done something to poor Megan?
That’s a shame
Is this High School or real life, Miss McCain? How about talking to your Dad about his “go-along-to-get-along” wet noodle RINO votes and let us worry about our “hipness” or lack thereof?
Given the current disgusting state of “hip” American culture, I invariably go screaming off in the opposite direction.
By today’s standards of hipness, I strive to be as “square” as possible.
