Michelle Malkin: Meghan McCain Stands for Nothing

Meghan McCain has gotten quite a bit of attention since appointing herself the protector of the Republican party from the likes of Ann Coulter. Every time she appears I ask myself “Besides calling herself a Republican, what does she stand for?”

Michelle Malkin answered my question for me. She stands for nothing.

You know what’s wrong with Meghan McCain? It’s not her weight. It’s not her voice. It’s not her looks. She’s a beautiful young girl with TV-friendly poise and natural charm. The trouble with Meghan McCain is that, like her father, she has no fixed ideological principles – conservative, liberal, or otherwise. She seems to have inherited the notion that playing the “maaaaverick” imparts her with moral authority and credibility as a fresh voice for the GOP. I’m all for speaking truth to power. But like her father, Ms. McCain’s maaaaverick-iness appears to be rooted less in any firm set of beliefs than in the need for liberal approbation.

Take her “beef with Ann Coulter.” (Ms. McCain’s not the first or only one on the Right to ever criticize her, by the way.) If Ms. McCain sincerely detests Coulter’s “demeanor” and “extreme” thinking, statements, and behavior because they represent “hate” and alienate young voters, then how is it that the same genteel Ms. McCain can cheer the cretinous, left-wing extremist Russell Brand?

Michelle goes on to list the hate spewed by Russell Brand against Meghan’s dad and Sarah Palin. Meghan’s selective in the hate speech she targets.

Before making any more appearances to tout her Repubican credentials, perhaps Ms. McCain will read the Republican party platform. She just may realize she’s not a Republican after all.
