Meghan McCain Letting Liberal Media Play Her For A Fool

Newsbusters:

Former Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain's daughter Meghan has four words of advice for conservative radio host Laura Ingraham: "Kiss my fat ass!" [h/t Jeff Poor]

Appearing on the March 16 edition of "The View," The Daily Beast columnist told the gals of "The View" that she was annoyed with Ingraham for recently making a joke about her weight.

McCain: Why are we so obsessed with weight? Why? And I know specifically for me, this is so, you know I'm a pop culture junkie, but when Tyra Banks went on her show in her bathing suit and said, "Kiss my fat ass," that's what I feel like right now. I'm like, "kiss my fat ass!"

Although Miss McCain last week took a swipe at conservative author Ann Coulter as "offensive, radical, insulting and confusing all at the same time," she admits that "at this point" she has "more respect" for Coulter "because at least Coulter didn’t come back at me with heartless, substance-less attacks about my weight."

Message to Meghan McCain: put on your thinking cap for a minute. Please. Do you really think that the same media that virtually ignored your dad, while literally genuflecting in their love and appreciation for his opponent during last year's presidential campaign, suddenly cares what you think? Meghan, the only reason the liberal media is interested in Republicans is when they're either trying to put them down, when they're making fools of themselves or when they're dissing other Republicans. The latter being the same ol' game of divide and conquer scheme that just worked on Michael Steele. Don't fall into the same trap. You have issues with Laura Ingraham talking about your weight? Fine. But don't go on a partisan show like "The View" (where 4 of the 5 co-hosts are leftwing loons) to make your point, instead take your ire straight to the source herself: Ingraham. Barbara Walters and co. may smile in your face and scream a few "Go girls!"' at you, pretending that they like you, but behind your back they're laughing because hardly anything makes liberals happier than to see conservatives fighting each other. I'd like to think that you're smart enough to know that.
