Laura Ingraham fires back: Meghan McCain ‘a poor man’s Ron Reagan’
Daily Caller ^ | 1/27/11 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 01/28/2011 8:36:57 AM PST by markomalley

On Wednesday, Meghan McCain leveled an attack against Rep. Michele Bachmann on MSNBC, calling her a “poor man’s Sarah Palin.” One night later on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham fired back.

Host Bill O’Reilly was attempting to point out the so-called divide in the Republican Party between the grassroots Tea Party portion and the entrenched establishment represented by Meghan McCain and Karl Rove, according to O’Reilly. However, Ingraham objected to McCain’s classification.

“Bill, are you serious? I can’t agree – are you serious with that?” Ingraham said. “The only reason Meghan McCain is getting any traction, you know God bless her, is because of her last name. I mean Meghan McCain, maybe she is a poor man’s Ron Reagan. I mean, you called her a moderate Republican. Why is she a moderate Republican? Is there any indication that she is a Republican?”

Please see this piece also: Meghan McCain: Laura Ingraham ‘can continue to kiss my ass!’

Meghan McCain, who calls herself a “progressive Republican,” implored Republicans to “stop being so stubborn and closed-minded.”

Throughout the night, McCain was critical of right-wing pundits, telling the audience, “I’m not Ann Coulter, I’m not Glenn Beck … I’m not trying to get my own show on Fox … I’m adamantly against hate-mongering.”

There is “no place for the nasty Laura Ingrahams and Ann Coulters,” McCain said, briefly touching on a spat she had with Ingraham last year.

In a March 2009 Daily Beast column, McCain said of 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.” Ingraham responded, calling McCain “just another Valley Girl gone awry” and “plus-sized.” Co-hosting ABC’s The View a few days later, McCain told Laura Ingraham, “Kiss my fat ass!”

LOL, “I’m adamantly against hate-mongering,” she said, before launching into another hateful speech.

Meghan McCain, who calls herself a “progressive Republican

Meghan admits being a Marxist Republican. Swell. Why remain a Republican? What an idiot.

BOR kept trying to tell Ingraham what she wanted to say, in his mind that is. He kept cutting her short and I was hoping she would say, shut the hell up you moron and stop interfering with my commentary. Wanna bet Laura will not be hosting the show anytime soon? Just like Malkin who never appears there after standing up this brilliance, she will be seen infrequently.

I appreciate the sacrifice you are making in watching BOR on my behalf.

This is just one example of why I no longer watch him.

I DVR the show only to fast-forward to the segments with Bernie Goldberg and Dennis Miller.

One of the great things about NOT electing John McCain is the marginalization of Meghan.

At least Obama admits he’s on the left.

I turned it off right after that segment which I do frequently when his brilliance begins another of his middle of the road I am so smart spots.

Meanwhile, I believe his brilliance is interviewing the Kenyan before the super bowl. I strongly encourage anyone not needing to buy a new TV set to not watch it.

I love that this vapid trust fund loser without a job takes on Conservative women all the time. Bachmann went to law school, became a lawyer, raised a family with tons of foster kids and successfully ran for congress a few times. Palin has worked her way up on her own to be Gov of Ak. Her dad thought her impressive enough to make her his VP. The only thing that I can see Megan do on her own is gain weight.

I rarely watch BOR anymore, he has lost his way, seems to me that as soon as his Sexual Harrassment case was over and he had paid these women off, he went soft and has slowly been going to the dark side, If Meghan McLame’s father wasn’t a Powerful Member of the Leadership of the Communist Party the media would not give her the time of day.

BOR and Chrissy both have an extremely annoying habit of never letting a guest finish a complete sentence without jumping ugly all over them. SHUT UP and try listening and you just might learn something.
