Michelle Malkin asked which conservative should shut up. Here's her answer
Edited on Tue Aug-11-09 09:39 AM by Becky72
The answer to the question posed by Politico was...

Meghan McCain.

A little conservative gossip for your entertainment today:


Meghan replies today:

There is a place for the far right in this party, Malkin included, and I respect their right to be heard. But the Republican Party will continue to lose elections unless we start reaching out in a more effective way to people my age and to moderates. Barack Obama won the last election on the slogan “Yes We Can,” and there is no reason why Republicans can’t go forth and win elections with equally positive messages. We will not get anywhere by continuing to sell hate and fear. Of course, there is always going to be a fraction of the GOP that is going to respond to that, but at some point we have to start facing the reality that hate and fear will only get us so far. Those emotions are not sources for inspiration of joining anything, let alone supporting a political party.

2. Without hate and fear the GOP has only greed and no way to feed it.

3. Meghan is probably the smartest person in the GOP. We're lucky
she isn't the RNC chair.

23. OR he could emerge from his college years as a full-blown
liberal. Once he's away from home schoolin' Mom and Dad and finds out there are alternative viewpoints.

6. The chip on her shoulder is the size of a boulder.
It's so heavy I'm surprised she can walk around without toppling over.

7. Meghan needs to start shooting jabs at "Daddy"
Joe the Plumber may be a dumb-ass but it's her father who gave both Joe and Sarah Palin a platform from which to spew their idiocy to this day.

Until she's willing to risk the trust-fund by targeting her dad as part of the GOP problem why should anyone give a fu*k about what Meghan has to say?
