Meghan McCain calls out internet bullies

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I just find it odd that Meghan who consistently runs her mouth off insulting conservatives can't take what she dishes out.

Telling fellow conservatives some of them are nuts, consequently making conservatives overall look foolish is in no way ‘insulting.’

However futile, I wish her luck returning conservatives to sanity.

Sounds like she speaks her mind (like her old man) - they don't like what she has to say, therefore she is a bully.

Meghan McCain: Cut It Out, Internet Bullies! - The Daily Beast

Last week, I went on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show PoliticsNation to talk about extremism in the Republican Party. As a socially liberal Republican, this happens to be a topic I know a lot about. On the show, I told Sharpton that many Republicans treat me like a freak, especially the extreme-right members of my party. I went on to say that I don’t understand the appeal of extreme bloggers such as Michelle Malkin and the late Andrew Breitbart. That’s all I said, but it only took a few hours before my comments were posted out of context on a variety of blogs that suggested I was viciously attacking Breitbart. My Twitter feed exploded with insults, including the suggestion that I should kill myself.

Instead of ignoring the hate projected at me, I elected to retweet some of the most vile responses. I wanted to show people what happens to me when I go on TV and voice my opinion. The Internet trolls weren’t interested in having a discussion about my opinion; they just wanted to eviscerate me. Here’s a watered-down version of some of the most hateful comments:

I am fat pig. I am ugly. I am disgusting. I am an embarrassment to my family, and they should be ashamed of me. I am an anti-American extremist. I am a clueless whore. I should drink a bottle of alcohol and pills and kill myself.

That’s only a small sampling, but you get the idea. You would think that by now, having gone through a presidential election with my father in 2008, I would be numb to this kind of name-calling. But I’m not. It hurts, it rattles me, it (understandably) concerns my mother, and it keeps me up at night. In a single day, Dan Abrams’s Mediaite found it necessary to post two full columns about me, questioning my career and suggesting I’m a problem for the Republican Party. By the way, each of the “columnists” behind these posts also vomited up a series of nasty Twitter posts following their columns. And they are supposed to be professionals.

She hit the nail on the head. Not that anything will change - but she is right.

She doesn't know what a bully is if she thinks liberals pretending to be Republicans that hate her are bullies.

Meghan bullies on a consistent basis. Poor widdle mean girl.

Links?

Here's a quick one. She insults conservatives on a regular basis. I found this one by googling" Megan McCain insults Sarah Palin".

Basically Meghan is like a "valley girl" version of David Frum. No pity from me. She's playing the game of "oh I'm a moderate, can I come on your show and I promise I'll rip the Republican Party to shreds for you".

Frum's been doing this for years. Sullivan as well. They are all the DNC's "pet media Republicans".

Well, she can rip R's to shred all she wants. But she better get a thicker skin because payback is a bitch. And this spoiled brat should realize that once you start a fight with someone and they give you a verbal knuckle sandwich back, you've earned your black eye.

From Mediaite:

But McCain then played up the controversy and her victimhood. She wrote a denunciation of Beck in her column in Daily Beast and appeared on Jay Leno’s late night program to discuss the event. “No man will ever make me a victim,” McCain told Leno. No need, she is doing it to herself.

McCain wonders why she draws the ire of conservatives, but continues to say things that she has to know will be deemed as ire-worthy by the right.

McCain has attacked Malkin, saying she went on a “manic rampage” when Malkin mocked McCain for tweeting a picture of herself with liberal activist Sandra Fluke when they met at a White House Correspondents’’ Dinner.

McCain went after Greta Van Susteren for inviting actress Lindsay Lohan to the WHCD.

McCain has equated herself with Ronald Reagan for holding moderate views, and said “dirty moderates like me” have no home in the party.

But while McCain has started more than her share of fights with conservative pundits, she seems to spend the majority of her time attacking Republican office seekers and holders.

She called former Delaware Senate Candidate Christine O’Donnell a “nut job” who is “out of her frickin’ mind” during her 2010 campaign.

She went after the Republican primary process in 2012, which she called “bad for politics and bad for the Republican party.” This was an odd observation, given that she is on record saying that Republican primary voters are far too provincial even to watch premium cable programming like HBO.

Aww. Poor little mean girl. Her diary is likely filled with scrawled screeds against Michelle Malkin, Christine O’Donnell and Ann Coulter; she probably never grew out of slam books. But dare criticize her or call her out on her own actions? You are a bully and she is totally a helpless and innocent victim.

And again - so what? She's not the thin-skinned one here, methinks. Everybody whining in this thread is no better than Meghan.

"Internet Bullies"
"Internet Wimps"

If a person is so mentally weak that they can be "bullied" over the internet, perhaps they should refrain from using the internet.

Ain't that the truth.

Hmm and yet the outrage over some womans fake photo by larry flint sucking a weenie?
Humans sure are strange.

I wasn't outraged, I did enjoy the way some liberals scrambled to defend Hustler after demonizing Rush though.

Sounds to me like you should pay more attention to politics

Tell that to the GOProud folks. She insulted Breitbart. They didn't take kindly to that. She pisses people off and so Meghan gets it back.

They slammed her hard. And she earned the beat down she got over that.

Log Cabin Republicans said GOProud are shills for anti-gay republicans.

She insulted Breitbart!? WTF?? Who cares?

That is beyond lame. Y'all gonna canonize him next?

The libs have taken another good word and turned it to crap. Nowadays, if you look at someone wrong, you're a bully.

Not so fast there, home skillet. Who all was screaming a few weeks back about Obama "bullying" a little girl when he shoved her?

Nobody I know really. That was just a talking point to liberal hypocrisy on the Mitt Romney front.

Oh really? Because a fair number of your team honestly seemed to believe that qualified as bullying.

Log Cabin Republicans have nothing to do with this particular topic. Why are you bringing them up?

“I work for this network for a reason,” McCain, who is an MNSBC contributor, said. “… If you’re not an extreme conservative in this party you are not given respect. ...The problem that’s going on with the Republican Party is that if you don’t adhere to every single ideal, they don’t want you. But I always stand here and say, you can’t actually kick me out of the Republican Party, you can’t actually do it.”

McCain added that she doesn’t “understand the popularity of Michelle Malkin and Andrew Breitbart, people who sort of exacerbate people’s fears.”

“I keep saying unless we start becoming a bigger tent party, we’re going to continue losing elections,” she said. “And isn’t the point to win elections?”

Yes, ma'am; the point IS to win elections. And as long as the far fringe keeps tossing out everybody they perceive to be a RINO, their party will keep shrinking.

What part of Meghan McCain went on Al Sharpton's show and insulted the crap out of Breitbart and consequently pissed off many individuals who responded by attacking McCain back.

You started the thread about her whining about being "bullied". She got insulted on twitter and in blogs because she bitched and moaned about Breitbart and called him a hateful extremist.

Meghan really really pissed off many people.
