MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain appeared on Rev. Al Sharpton’s program on Thursday, where she said that the Republican party treats her like a “freak” and a “mutant” simply because she holds some moderate views on divisive social issues. McCain has often made herself out to be a victim of close-minded conservatives who simply reject her for her less-than-dogmatic policy preferences. But McCain forgets that she has made a career of being a contrarian – her vehicle for getting air time consists almost entirely of starting fights with Republican pundits and lawmakers.

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.

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.

McCain fancies herself a victim – beset on all sides by nasty tyrants from within the GOP. She lobbies against hate and prejudice, but it is McCain who is often the bully. Let me be clear, conservatives who underestimate her intelligence do not get it. She seems to know exactly what she is doing and how to do it. By attacking conservatives, she appears to win friends on the left. But McCain never demonstrates any self-awareness about how and why conservatives would be upset with her conduct. Perhaps she should take stock of her long history of aggression towards her fellow Republicans.

There, there, little girl. Pay no attention to those nasty old Conservatives.
There you go - we voted ourselves into this mess.
I reject Meghan, because she’s an idiot, not because she wishes to claim she’s a “moderate”.
Honestly Meghan, you really think you have any qualifications to be a commentator on anything? Other than who your dad is, what about you personally makes anyone think they should listen to you, or that your opinion would carry any weight above and beyond those of millions of others who have no personal experience?
Why she is invited on programs as a commentator is simply because she will voice a liberal view point and then they can claim the republicans are out of touch, when in fact Meghan is just another kids without any real world experience popping off.
Go back to posting your cleavage on the internet, as long as you crop the pics high enough on your body, it at least was pleasing to the eye.
She needs to look for a good gym, and find some carrot sticks
Like father, like daughter.
MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain is a irrelevant little snot working for a irrelevant little network.
I tend to think of her as a dingleberry off the old t**d.
You are right. The 30-or-so comments here have doubled her audience.
How can anyone underestimate Meghan McCains intelligence.
When will her sex tape come out?
Naw, she’s just a tiny woodtick like parasite.
She needs attention that I am unwilling to give because I have no respect for her.
Of all the pundits claiming to be Republican..she is last on my list of importance.
I will be voting to oust the Obamanation and his administration ..and for the one most likely to beat Obama.
That’s a far better analogy. :)
Meghan who?
Wish it were John McCain who?
Oh the Huge Manatee!
Looks more like a tapeworm to me.
Christopher Hitchens was a contrarian and admired by many conservatives for some of his more reasonable opinions.
Meghan McCain is dismissed because she’s an overdressed, overstuffed plastic doll with nothing original or contrarian to say - or an interesting way of phrasing her opinions. She’s a product of a modern American education.
She’s to blame for the current state of politics.

BS. She’s at best a symptom, she is not the cause or the blame of anything. That ascribes a significance to her that she entirely lacks.
One way to rid of her is not to print anything about her.
