Meghan McCain has got to go
Dumb as a rock, and with her face everywhere, she, like omg, doesn't understand why people don't want her around:
"What do Malkin and the other conservative pundits hope to accomplish by arguing that people “like me” have no place within the Republican Party? And who exactly are people “like me”? Young people? Moderate people? Young female people? People with tattoos who go to biker rallies?"
No, people who are morons and don't know what the hell they're talking about yet get to be on TV as the token "Republican". Those people.
She goes on to say that Republicans can't continue on their path of "hate and fear" because Obama won on the concept of "Yes we can" and Republicans should use similarly hopeful messages.
Wait, hold on, who did Obama beat like a drum to get to be president?
Just like his daughter, John McCain spouted incoherent nonsense and expected people to follow him just because, again like his daughter, the media liked him. At least John McCain actually got to where he is on his own, Meghan McCain has done, literally, zero, to earn the attention she gets. And when she compares herself to Michelle Malkin, bragging that she has more twitter followers than MM, she seems even dumber than usual. Which is hard, because she frequently seems pretty dumb. Even Allahpundit, with whom I frequently spar about Meggie Mac (what Allah calls her) on twitter, with him defending her as a kid who is seeking the attention any of us would seek if thrust into the spotlight and me saying that she's dumb as a stick (I switch it up, sometimes stick, sometimes rock, sometimes stump, I'm creative), can't defend her today.
Do I hate Meggie Mac as a human being? No, I know little about her other than she's the daughter of someone famous. Do I hate moderates? Again, no, I've voted for moderates and I've worked for moderates (hi, I live in NYC), but they have to be able to defend their positions and not just whine that those who disagree with them are "old". Until Meg can form some coherent opinions which she can then defend, she should think twice about comparing herself to Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter, all of whom can debate her under the table any day of the week. She's a nobody, ultimately, no matter how many tattoos she gets. And she should disappear off our national stage. The faster, the better.
UPDATE: Allahpundit on Meggers.

Maybe Meggie Mac should get together with Levi Johnston... They'd make a great couple! (same IQ)
Posted by: GrayDog at August 11, 2009 12:40 PMAllahPundit is great but suffers from the Achilles' Heel of all beta males: friendly attention from an attractive woman. I'm not even a conservative, but it's still painful watching the meghan mccaine's and kathleen parker's of this world making fools of themselves to ingratiate themselves to the left.
Posted by: John Smith at August 11, 2009 12:40 PMRight On! Great comments!
Posted by: Pete at August 11, 2009 12:41 PMAgreed on everything you said here. I thought the point about her having more twitter followers as being somehow better than having a #1 bestseller was about as inane as anything I've ever heard from her. Every time she opens her mouth I cringe. She's NOT the voice of the "young" Republicans. And I'm sick and tired of hearing her called a conservative! I don't hate her as a person, but I'm tired just so tired of her whining and complaining. Go away or come up with something of substance.
Posted by: Jessica at August 11, 2009 12:44 PMIf she were smart enough to know not to be an MSM tool she wouldn't be given the opportunity to be an MSM tool. I just wish some day she would glean some dim understanding of how very very contemptible her MSM pals think she is. They think she's even more contemptible than I do and my contempt for her and her pansy tard daddy is vast vast vast.
Posted by: happyfeet at August 11, 2009 12:45 PMgee, wonder why Allah can't defend her this time.
$$$
Posted by: it's vintage duh at August 11, 2009 12:46 PMTo be clear, I hate her as a person.
Posted by: happyfeet at August 11, 2009 12:47 PMgee, wonder why Allah can't defend her this time.
$$$
Thanks for the insult.
Posted by: Allah at August 11, 2009 12:48 PMWhy should anyone care what Meghan McCain says? It's embarrassing that Meghan sees herself as a political heavyweight. She's a left-of-center person trying to tell Republicans what to do. What a joke!
Posted by: Steve from Wisconsin at August 11, 2009 12:50 PMWhen I read that she "has twice as many Twitter followers" than MM, I almost pooped myself! She actually tried to compare having people on Twitter to having the NUMBER ONE BOOK on the NY Times Best Seller list. What a rube.
Posted by: blueknight99 at August 11, 2009 12:52 PMMeghan McCain is a useful idiot. Laura Ingrahm summed it up perfectly.
Posted by: mark at August 11, 2009 12:53 PMShe isn't qualified to work at Hooters much less opine about the issues of the day.
Posted by: DANEgerus at August 11, 2009 12:55 PMShe's not a political heavyweight. The only reason she's heavy at all (aside from eating all those Big Macs thinking they were named after her) is all those rocks in her head.
Yes, go away Meg Mcturd. You are by no means a contender at all in the war of brains. You kinda...sorta...need to HAVE one first.
Posted by: Spirit at August 11, 2009 12:55 PMUnfortunately, she is a prime example of the youth of today. Not all, but the vast majority. Substance is not important to them, it's all about a good soundbite and the appearance of caring about whatever that month's flavor happens to be. It's more about acceptance from a peer group than the reality of questioning if something is actually good for them or their fellow Americans.
I grew up with the threat of the Cold War. Russia was the bad guy and we always knew there was a threat something could go horribly wrong on a grand scale.
This young generation can't understand that. There is no grand scale threat of death and destruction that would hit them close to home. The closest they have is the threat of terrorism, but even that is too far removed from their daily life to make them pause and consider the ramifications. It's something that happens to other people, not them.
Without the ability to understand the possible evils in this world on a personal level, there is no sense of possible consequences to the idiotic legislation supported by these younger people.
They flaunt their "individualism" by asking what the community can do for them. The generation that has grown up with the attitude that someone owes them something and they are never responsible for their own actions. It's the strangest paradox ever. People so bent on expressing their individualism but thinking socialism (or the community) will protect them and allow them the latitude without recourse.
Whereas my generation grew up showing personal responsibility as the utmost form of individualism and understanding we helped our community out by being responsible for ourselves.
Meghan McCain is nothing more than another of these young, petulant children who feel they are owed something from everyone else. Of course there won't be a rational argument for her reasoning. It's impossible due to the contradictory nature of the driving force behind this generation of spoiled brats.
Posted by: Bill at August 11, 2009 12:56 PMThank you! Ever since she inserted herself onto whatever stage she thinks she's on, I've done nothing but cringe, moan, and yell at her.
I'm one of those "young people" she claims to speak for. Nu-uh, sweetheart. Go away. Go faaaaar away.
Posted by: Kelly at August 11, 2009 12:57 PMAnd where is the data to support Meghan MacCain's position that Republicans should moderate? I never see her citing exit polls or any data. It's just her instincts and feelings--a true liberal.
Posted by: mark at August 11, 2009 12:57 PMI feel a sense of relief reading that.
Posted by: SarahW at August 11, 2009 01:01 PMShe's Paris Hilton without the sex tape. Seriously, she's done nothing of value on her own - her entire 'fame' and the only reason anyone - ANYONE - pays her any attention is because of her father.
Posted by: Midas at August 11, 2009 01:02 PMallah, get your panties out of a wad... the word moderate means the same thing as progressive, and is also a synonym for meghan, Useless. The moderate stands for nothing because he stands on nothing, the progressive constantly progresses toward nothing and meg mccain keep talking, each ranting, each time saying more and more of the same Nothing!
Posted by: shocko at August 11, 2009 01:02 PMJust another parasite, addicted to the celebrity that dripped onto her from her Dad. She lives for the gossip column tidbits. Don't give her any more.
Posted by: BillHubbard at August 11, 2009 01:03 PMI too, hate her as a person; mostly because I fear she is not going away. Yes, she is stupid, and yes, she is self-important. That's why she'll last; she is tone deaf to criticism, shameless in the pursuit of publicity and stupid emough to be the pawn (pwn?) of special interests. Someday, no doubt, we'll be treated to a televised Meghan/Chelsea debate.
Isn't that a happy thought?
Posted by: Doorgunner at August 11, 2009 01:05 PMAs a John McCain supporter, and someone who feels it is OK to be a moderate Republican, and terrific for people to think for themselves, I have to say that it would be for Meghan's and the world's best if Meghan McCain be quiet for a while--maybe for a couple of years, for example.
Please, Meghan, read some more history books. Read the Decline and the Fall of the Roman Empire. The History of the Peleponnesian War. Read history. Go to grad school. Work in the real world for a while.
In the meantime, please stop saying so many foolish, foolish things in the public square. You are defining yourself into a box and limiting your future ability to be effective politically. Please, just take some time off and organize your ideas.
Michelle Malkin is an absolute warrior. She has political courage. I have her back no matter what.
In future years, Meghan is going to look back at this period and wonder what the heck she was doing. I think Meghan is a talented writer and has the charisma her father does not have. She is bright. She just hasn't had a lot of experience in the real world. Please, Meghan, I love you and adore you, please just take some time off and develop your ideas.
Posted by: McCain supporter at August 11, 2009 01:08 PMGet over it. There's room in political discourse for everybody.
Posted by: GerSan at August 11, 2009 01:10 PMSo, Karol! Is the dinner with you, Allah, and Megs now off?
Posted by: sam at August 11, 2009 01:10 PMMegs: "Why don't you, like, love me for me!" Because halfwit, your so stupid that if somebody didn't pull your face out, you drown in a tub of cookie dough.
Posted by: RMOccidental at August 11, 2009 01:13 PMShe's got big boobs!!!!
Posted by: Shorter McCain supporter at August 11, 2009 01:14 PMArrogance and stupidity is a breathtaking combination. Meghan probably wouldn't even be able to understand her useful idiocy. She's making Levi Johnson seem significant.
Posted by: Kensington at August 11, 2009 01:14 PMShe's got big boobs!!!!
Posted by: Shorter McCain supporter at August 11, 2009 01:14 PMI think Meg would dig Levi. They do make a good couple.
And Meg, it is not becuase you are a moderate republican, it is because you get press only because the left likes to use you and you are too dense to figure that out.
Posted by: at August 11, 2009 01:15 PM"Get over it" is advice worthy of, well, Meghan McCain.
Posted by: Kensington at August 11, 2009 01:15 PMMeghan McCain is a good writer. You can tell because she has a tattoo of a dictionary.
Posted by: Jim Treacher at August 11, 2009 01:16 PMI disagree with one point: Daddy didn't make it on his own. He had and Admiral for a father and an Admiral for a grandfather. Then the horric and unfortunate help the North Vietnamese gave him provided him touching commercials to run for office.
I still have a hard time trying to figure out how he didn't make the rank of Admiral. Something wrong about that and it really bothers me.
Posted by: oxrock at August 11, 2009 01:19 PMAnd who exactly are people “like me”? Young people? Moderate people? Young female people? People with tattoos who go to biker rallies?"
How about self-absorbed, bratty, entitled noise-machines who will never work a day in their lives? I think we could use 100% fewer of 'those' people in the Republican party.
Posted by: Snoop-Diggity-DANG-Dawg at August 11, 2009 01:22 PMMeghan appears to be "the answer" to some. Young, stylish, perhaps imbued with her father's bold sensibilities. But presuming she has value to our causes based on those traits is dead wrong. Tokenism doesn't work on our side of the aisle. What McCain does bring to our team is a sense of entitlement one can only acquire by scrambling to capitalize on the coattails of a decent parent. Who is Meghan to think she can speak for anyone but herself? To call out true, proven champions of conservatism like Malkin? To speak down to blue collar workers and tell them to stick to plumbing? A degree in art history from a snooty school doesn't exactly qualify one's opinion on anything but old paint. In fact, give me Joe, if he's ever balanced a checkbook, he's accomplished more than Meghan ever will. Like so many would-be pundits that MSM gives a mic to today, she is a nobody that has been catapulted to the national stage purely for her tabloid appeal. As another commenter noted, she is a Levi Johnston: A regrettable flash in the pan screwing conservatives and bouncing her support checks. Meghan McCain and all of her conservative-in-self-applied-label-only apologists are asses of the first order.
Posted by: BC at August 11, 2009 01:23 PMMeghan who?
Posted by: Crush Liberalism at August 11, 2009 01:24 PMAfter six months of never failing to find a negative article on Sarah Palin, EVERY negative article published ANYWHERE posted on your byline, Allah, I'd say you were due for some insulting.
Posted by: DaveP. at August 11, 2009 01:25 PMBig Mac is about as dumb as a sack of hammers. When I read the whole "I have more Twitter followers than Michelle" thing, I about lost it. Go home already!
Posted by: Ugh at August 11, 2009 01:27 PMMeh. Not even Huffpo or Wonkette covered her last spat with Malkin. The left is bored with her already too.
Posted by: theSilverless at August 11, 2009 01:30 PMWell on baser instincts alone, Meghan is a horrible person and Michelle is pretty. So Meghan is voted off my Fantasy Island.
Meghan hangs around the Daily Beast web site, a site which I cannot figure out for the life of me except to think it must be a liberal smear factory. Posters at the Daily Beast claim to be some kind of Republicans and bemoan the effect of the religious right on the their once great Republican party yet they seem like the kind of folk who want to feed Christians to lions at the same time come across as no wiser than 24 years young. They just can't avoid bringing up diversity in every thread and how un-diverse Republicans are. It makes me think this whole diversity scheme is just another divisive tactic manufactured by the left to pain Republicans in a bad light. Oh wait, it is...
So don't go away mad Meghan, just go away.
Posted by: HoBe at August 11, 2009 01:36 PMMeghan McCain is a text book example of the axiom that the right to speak does not include the right to taken seriously
Posted by: Susan at August 11, 2009 01:45 PMoxcock,
Please don't slander John McCain with your cissy cheap shots at his P.O.W. years or the ridiculous assertions that he didn't make it on his own.
He most certainly did make it on his own.
Then again, so did you---and you should be very proud of ascending to lieutenant night clerk at 7-11.
Posted by: Community Organizer at August 11, 2009 01:48 PMAmen! This dingbat is making an utter fool of herself. And trying to use democrat class warfare tactics against Michelle Malkin who, like me, knows what it is to be a member of a minority that does not follow the stereotypes that democrats like to label us with so we get insulted, maligned, and disrespected. Sorry, Meghan, we tried it your and your Dad's way and look where we are now. Conservatives have never had a chance to govern anything without democrat and moderate intereference. It's time to let conservatives have a chance to run things. It couldn't be any worse than what we have now.
Posted by: Al at August 11, 2009 01:52 PMOK. She's blond, she's a McCain, she's a bimbo - but then I repeat myself. Ignore her, she has nothing to offer. She fits right in with the MSM. Let them feed of each other - eventually she will realize the not everything is about her, or not. But it would help if the rest of us would ignore her. Maybe then she would just go away.
Posted by: georgeofthedesert at August 11, 2009 01:53 PMJohn McCain has served his country wonderfully as a vet and poorly as a member of Congress.
It is clear Megan got his brains.
Posted by: drjohn at August 11, 2009 01:53 PMThe frightening thing is she'll probably run for office, and a crapload of brainless fools like her will vote for this stooge.
Posted by: Sparky at August 11, 2009 01:54 PMBill's comment summed it up perfectly....
It is unfortunate however, that our educational, culture, and even government teach kids these "what can you do for ME" values.
Posted by: at August 11, 2009 01:59 PMSmeghan has never done anything positive for the conservative movement.
Her sole role, in her mind, is inquisitor, to root out and get rid of other conservatives.
Maybe if Smeggy accomplished something that benefited us, like winning a seat in a Dem-heavy district, or being an effective spokesperson for conservative ideas, we would listen to her when she wants to castigate us.

HEH, and this is why she will get the Pulitzer she so covets, one tweet at a time.
"She's a nobody, NO matter HOW many tattoos she gets..."
ROFLMAO!
Posted by: Steve at August 11, 2009 02:25 PMI'm thinking she should so totally like take over for Joe Scarbrough at MSLSD.
Or for that stupid loud woman on the Weather Channel early in the morning.
Posted by: dr kill at August 11, 2009 02:44 PMShe has same weakness that her dad had: she thinks because the media finds her to be a useful too, they must actually LIKE her. John McCain had the same problem, when in a room with Republicans and he is the most left-friendly option, of course the media celebrates him because they're playing a game called "Let's You And Him Fight."
The moment her dad was no longer most liberal person in the debate, the media turned on him like a pack of hyenas and ate him alive. They never liked him at all. The same will happen to Meghan.
Posted by: T. AKA Ricky Raw at August 11, 2009 02:48 PMThank you. Maybe you can finally reach Allah, but you've said exactly what I've been saying all along about her (well that and the fact that even though she only joined the GOP because her father was our nominee she saw nothing wrong with criticizing it from the get go on every conceivable topic).
Posted by: Kelly at August 11, 2009 02:49 PMMegan McCain isn't exactly ready to sit at the grown-up's table yet; the very fact that she refers to her age and harps on how young she is in nearly every single interview tells us that. But I think people who like Megan McCain like her because she is so positive. And rather than defecting to another party or no party at all, she is trying, in her way to encourage Republicans to embrace their basic Republican values and carry them forward into the 21st century in a way that’s positive, relevant and potentially beneficial to our nation.
Because McCain is so painfully young, she is not bogged down by a collective Republican memory of an America that probably never really existed. It’s not the 50s anymore. It’s not even the Reagan 80s anymore. The solutions that worked back then need to be updated and adapted to fit the world as we find it today. McCain may be a flawed messenger, but she is on to something. I don’t happen to be a Republican and I don’t agree with a lot of Ms. McCain’s views but I like her spirit.
Ok, so she's a self-proclaimed moderate.
On social issues, she's a liberal.
On fiscal issues, she's a liberal.
On foreign policy, she's a no-show.
Ok, liberal plus liberal plus nothing = um liberal right? I mean, what moderates her liberal stances here to get the title "moderate"?
Genetics can't help you here so don't look to daddy; show some conservatism in some manner for some issue... then you might sway conservatives.
As it is, every attack I've seen from her was against conservatives and supporting liberals. Is Hillary Clinton a moderate Republican too?
If not, what's the difference? If so, why would we want her on our side?
Posted by: Gekkobear at August 11, 2009 02:58 PMPeople like Ms. Meg are all wrapped up in their self-importance. They never contribute anything to society, yet they drain the life out of it. When she speaks it is in all cliches and can never cite to any imperical evidence to back her inane comments. Unfortuantely, she is the product of the reality show world.

Posted by: attyrik at August 11, 2009 03:02 PMMs. McCain is a perfect example of why I'd like to see the voting age requirement raised to 30, with an exception for military service.
I can only hope she matures enough to be embarrassed by her current self ten years from now.
Posted by: epobirs at August 11, 2009 03:02 PMLike her famous Dad - she is where she is because the left wants her there!
Posted by: at August 11, 2009 03:17 PMMs. McCain is just plain dumb - and was a registered Independent until her father's nomination. She is as dumb as a brick and has nothing of importance to say. BTW: she is not a "moderate" - she is flaming liberal. I know people who knew her from college and they do not have good things to say.
Posted by: AliceL. at August 11, 2009 03:36 PMMs. McCain is not particularly intelligent and picks fights with women far more accomplished than she is (come to think of it, that is most women). She was a registered Independent until very recently. She is not a moderate - she is a liberal.
Posted by: AliceL. at August 11, 2009 03:37 PMThat article really shows how childish and immature she is. "I have more twitter followers!" I can almost hear her chanting, "Neener, neener, neener!" at her computer screen as she types that. She probably even stuck her tongue out too!
Posted by: Jennifer at August 11, 2009 03:40 PMIf there's one reason I'm glad McCain didn't win it's that I don't have to listen to that valley girl squeal for 4 years. The girl is pretty but that voice!
Posted by: Vicki at August 11, 2009 04:05 PMMeggie,Joins the ranks of Noonan,Parker,Frum,the Maine twins and all the other pseudo "R"s ,why even give them print on a supposedly conservative site
Posted by: al at August 11, 2009 04:19 PMConservatism is on the ascendancy, and people like Meghan McCain need to get out of the way. Conservatism is the only antidote to the threat our great nation faces today. This is no time to pander to the left and what they're offering. Conservatives must take back the Republican party and win.
It has been proven time and again that so-called moderate or liberal Republicans "cannot" win.

lawl
love me! please won't anyone love me? no fat girl, no one will dance with you.
Posted by: jb at August 11, 2009 05:03 PMJohn McCain is not a liberal.
He has an 83% career rating from the American Conservative Union.
He's conservative on the issues generally deemed to be the most important to conservatives; national defense, taxes, spending, the judiciary, and abortion.
However, his daughter Meghan is not the sharpest tool in the shed. I don't even think she really understands the issues.
Posted by: New York Minute at August 11, 2009 05:20 PMIf we throw her out of the party, we'll be missing out on stuff like this!

If he's such a stalwart conservative, why does he consent to this public idiocy? Does he hate his own daughter and want her to fail? Tell her to shut her ignorant suck or the magic Mercedes-convertible-producing factory goes, 'bye-bye'?
She's nothing but blond hair & tits "speaking" on behalf for 'his' party.
I'd suggest checking her paycheck for a "D" in the "from" line.
Posted by: Snoop-Diggity-DANG-Dawg at August 11, 2009 11:30 PMKarol's post is so smart and so funny. I really loved it! And all of the comments are great. I noticed that a few people made a point of jumping on the I-hate-Meghan-McCain-as-a-person bandwagon. I'm jumping on, too, and because Meghan is so mean and nasty, I don't even feel guilty about it!
Posted by: Blerg at August 12, 2009 01:34 AMIt’s not the 50s anymore.
We're aware of that. Now go tell Obama and his crew that it's not the frickin' 30s anymore.
Posted by: Mars vs Hollywood at August 12, 2009 05:02 AMwait,
who is this meghan mccain again? and Why is Michele Malkin talking about her? Is she really that desperate for conservative talking points that she has to say something about some mystery chick no one has heard of?
Great post. Said the kinds of things I've been saying for a while. Her only claim to fame is that she finally decided to get involved with politics in the last cycle. If her last name was anything else, she would be a nobody. The reality is that people like us don't like her because, despite being involved in Republican politics for under 2 years, she claims to be all-knowing. She's arrogant. She's dumb. Her writing is poor. I can't name one good (conservative) idea that she has brought to the table. She's a RINO, plain and simple. I would pay to see her get pwned by Coulter, Malkin, or Ingraham in a debate, any day.
Posted by: Matt at August 12, 2009 12:48 PMThe funniest part of the article was the implication that Allahpundit and the other idiots at Malkin's Hot Air are conservative. Right.
American Conservative is conservative. Takimag is for the most part. Chronicles is conservative.
Hot Air is Conservatism for American Idol lovers and moral degenerates. My daytime client bans access to Hot Air as falling into the porn category, except with no pictures. Nowadays, all Murdoch content, incuding the WSJ, is banned for the same reason. The real conservative sites are accessible under the category of political thought and discourse.
Get this fool off the stage.
The last thing I remember her saying is,
"The reason people like me is because........"
I forgot the rest.
This California girl is enough to make me gag.
Meggers, like all "moderate republicant's" have a serious failing. They antagonize. You can apply the stereotype of an attention whore to them and be correct, especially in this case.
Taking a hypocritical stance that "no one has the right to judge your lifestyle because that makes you a bad person" only irritates people with a margin of common sense.
Honestly I think her and her dad make great democrats, and lousy republicans.
However, I also believe the majority of politicians claiming to be republicans also make lousy republicans and would make good democrats.
I have also been told I am an extreme right wing nut clinging to the bible guns and God.
