Meghan McCain: Ann Coulter 'Offensive, Insulting, Confusing'

Meghan McCain, self-styled Republican party critic and Daily Beast blogger, has a serious beef with 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.

McCain takes issue with the fact that Coulter is reliably one of the most public faces of the struggling-to-find-its-new-image party, because she is easily pushing away the few members the party has left.

... But here is what I don't get about Coulter: Is she for real or not? Are some of her statements just gimmicks to gain publicity for her books or does she actually believe the things she says? Does she really believe all Jewish people should be "perfected" and become Christians? And what was she thinking when she said Hillary Clinton was more conservative than my father during the last election? If you truly have the GOP's best interests at heart, how can you possibly justify telling an audience of millions that a Democrat would be a better leader than the Republican presidential candidate?

McCain goes on to suggest that if she herself, the daughter of a former GOP presidential candidate, is regularly turned off by Coulter's extremist antics, what must the general public think?

McCain is equally baffled by the GOP's official leadership. In an ABC radio interview, she admits she doesn't understand Michael Steele's new "hip hop" strategy.

If you're saying I want people from the hip-hop community -- I don't even know what that means exactly -- I guess people that are in the music industry could become more closer and you know try and become Republicans (sic). I just don't think that is going to work. I think they need to rely on a message that is going to really stick with people of my generation.

And in a previous Daily Beast post, the campaign blogger expressed frustration with the lack of Internet savvy in the Republican party.

Just have to say that I detest Coulter as few others and find her be sheer evil. I think that is actually the reason for her success, unfortunately. There are many evil people who share a lot of her views.

In a way, I feel sorry for Meaghan because I don't think she realizes what she is bringing on herself. Not that Coultergist is anything to fear, but she's just annoying and by recongizing anything she says will guarantee us that she will be front and center on TV, well, probably in about 10 minutes. That's what "ladies of the night do".

Grab the beer boys. Looks like we have a little cat fight.

When I'm feeling blue, I close my eyes and imagine Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and the octo-mom on a rocket ship to outer space.

[human23]

Amusing.

What's the point ? If they land on an alien planet the aliens are just gonna send 'em back here...

[avshanbh]

Now we're going to have to hear about or listen to a response from Coulter. I've had enough of Coulter and Limbaugh. Enough already!!!

Coyote ugly!

Maghan has more logic than her father ever did.

I know there's 5 stages of grief. Not sure how many phases there are to party reconstruction but clearly cannibalism is one of them.

Jeez, Meghan should be a diplomat. There are quite a few other words I'd use to describe Coulter, but none of them belong in a family blog.

[JailNeoconVicts]

Battle of the Blondes! Yay! Call me when the mud-wrestling starts.

Meghan, as soon as you come from a family with fewer than 7 homes, you'll be "more closer" to knowing why we all can't stand republicans and will never trust them again, whether they are named "Coulter" or "McCain". You're all the same, sweety. Now get back to actually trying to do something with your life other than living off your name and family wealth.

HELL if the GOP needs some new faces, Meghan McCain is a sure fire winner there. She is HOT! I would even go to a McCain rally just to see her, not that anorexic, coke head, skag Coulter.

[jerryfromcalifornia]

Yea, her and Palin the trus face of the Republic party. If they get 3 or 4 more they may have enough for 1 brain.

[VOTER]

True.

[DeeLight]

~ If you truly have the GOP's best interests at heart,~

And there you have it folks. The GOP's primary focus spoken aloud/in print.

The GOP feels its best interests are more important than the best interests of the country and its citizens.

Party first!

[jcollell]

I am still on the fence whether Meghan is sincere about what she is saying or whether she is trying to make a name for herself by taking the path of least resistance.

She must be sincere since she is certainly not on the repoo-plicken path of least resistance.
