Meghan McCain: Not a Fan of Ann Coulter
Apparently Meghan McCain is quite the blogger, as she has her own site, McCainBlogette.com, and also writes for The Daily Beast. She already raised eyebrows with her "Looking for Mr. Far Right" post and now her name is back in the headlines - only this time, it's not about her less than desirable love life.
Yesterday, Meghan took to her blog to take down one of the most hated (and celebrated) conservative pundits, Ann Coulter.
In her post, Meghan apologized for the lack of "hipness" of the Republican party and placed some of the blame on "certain individuals continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Republicans." Namely, Coulter.
"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....And if figureheads like Ann Coulter are turning me off, then they are definitely turning off other members of my generation as well."
I don't know much about Meghan McCain, but after reading that post, I have a new-found respect for her. Her father should have set her loose a little bit more while on the campaign trail, she would have picked up way more votes than Sarah Palin ever did. The Republicans should pay a but more attention to her, she may be the key to the resurgence of the Republican party.

This is the dumbest post ever. I am part of meghan's generation and I am way more turned off by her than by Coulter. Republicans don't want a pathetic middle of the road McCain as head of the party anyway. In fact, if I had known about this little bitch had to say, I would never have voted for her dad. Why does this blogger even bother opining on this subject- he doesn't know what he's talking about

Hayley,
Calling anyone "a little bitch" only serves to alienate more people. For the record, if you really know about Ann Coulter, and you are a woman with a job, you obviously already know that Ann Coulter considers you a failure. Ann Coulter has written that all woman belong at home and should not be working. I've never understood how Ann Coulter can make those statements and yet have a job herself. My friend had a framed article Ann wrote about how women belong at home and not in the workplace since women are apparently not good enough.
So Hayley, are you planning to give up your job and stay home and be the little woman to some guy?
Face facts, Hayley, before throwing insults at people. Ann has alienated tons of people. And yes, I personally know many Republicans lost to Senator McCain strictly because of the words of Ann Coulter.

Hayley, you need to think before you open your mouth and call someone "a little bitch." All you do by making comments like that is to alienate people.
My friend had a framed article Ann Coulter wrote. Ann wrote that all women should stay at home and out of the workplace. Do you have a job, Hayley? If you believe in Ann, you need to quit it and start staying at home. Let the menfolk have all the jobs. That's what Ann wants. Where do you think you she initially gained her popularity? By writing those kinds of articles advocating for the "little woman" to stay at home serving her man. The question I would ask is why Ann's out there with a job since she made it perfectly clear that women should stay at home and out of the workplace. Articles like these have alienated scores of women who haven't forgotten.
I personally know tons of people who didn't vote for Senator McCain based on "information" provided by Ann Coulter. Get real, Hayley. Instead of insulting folks, look at the truth. This country needs to unite to solve our problems. Folks like Ann Coulter just tear it apart. A country divided can't fix much - working together we can. You can throw all the insults you want, but I know Ann Coulter was responsible for John MCCain losing many many votes. People with any intelligence were looking for unity and not someone trying to split the country apart.

I am a conservative Republican, and I think Meghan McCain is right about Coulter! Coulter has to be one of the most disgusting people who ever walked this earth! She takes a little bit of truth and completely twists it into what her warped mind wants it to be.

What YOU and so many other Repubs have missed is America is sick and tired of extremist like Bush that have without a doubt put us in this position to begin with!The Bushnazis's self-serving ways over the last 8 years are proof of this!The extreme left or right is the WRONG place to be right now and in 2012 also! Coulter, being another Cheney type pompous windbag doesn't help either! LOL!

Megan fails to mention that her father lost because he was trying to be more of a democrat than Obama. McCain failed at raising distinctive differences between he and Obama. McCain was not the choice of true Republicans just like Obama was not the choice of true Democrats. Both won their nominations thanks to cross overs and independent voters. Personally, I have never considered McCain a Republican OR a conservative. I have never considered Obama to be a true Democrat; just a socialist-Marxist in a donkey suit.

No amount of distraction can prevent the fall of the incompetent,corrupt,lying,dishonest and arrogant democratic Obama administration. How could obama lie in front of national media that the non-stimulus bills have no pork when the omnibus bill alone has 9,000 porks.Obama is doing the opposite of all his promises. Ethics reform,transparency,bipartisanship.

Gee Tommy, slow news day or what? This is the second day you use Meghan's whining about not getting a man and morph it into the "mean Ann Coulter" rant. It wouldn't be so bad until you stop and realize that the reason she's not first daughter is because of people just like you that dissed her father constantly while shining Obama's shoes to get him elected. I feel for Meghan because she seems to be a nice person, but she should stick to trying to find a man, not a metrosexual who's intimidated by her dad.
She complains that she doesn't like it when men talk to her about politics, yet she was immersed in it and liked it while she was on the stage. It's part of her life, is a guy just supposed to ignore that part of her life when even she can't let it go? Grow up Meghan, there is life beyond the media and if you want to play with Ann Coulter, bring your A-game. Tommy won't help you, he'd get creamed too. Take a look at articles he wrote about "Dad" during the campaign, then you'll see how so used you are getting by Tommy and the media. You deserve better.

Calling ann coulter a "she" is really pushing the envelope. It has an adam's apple the size of a tennis ball! I think it was a sex change operation gone terribly wrong.

Liberals hate Coulter because she can shine a laser
beam on their sickening hypocrisy in a milli second.
She is witty, sharp tongued, and brutally honest.
She hurts feelings...ahh...to bad...They would silence
all their critics if they could, starting with Fox News, then...."SHREAK ! RIGHT WING, RACIST
HOMOPHOBIC, WHITE SUPREMIST, TALK RADIO ! OH MY

Just wanted to thank you for speeding up the demise of the GOP with another idiotic comment. I cant wait for the brain dead right to finish dying off. How did you get access to a computer? Roll your wheelchair back to the talking box and listen to Rush, your leader.

Using the words "Fox News" in any comment, is the equivalent of putting a lamp shade on yor head.
Fox News is like a babysitter for the mentally challenged.
