McCain upset the Beck mocks his daughter...calling her a useful idiot
Edited on Mon Feb-15-10 01:02 PM by samplegirl
Sen. John McCain will be upset when he hears that Fox News whackjob Glenn Beck bad-mouthed his daughter. Of course, Glenn Beck considers himself the moral compass of the conservative movement, behind Rush Limbaugh. He claims the youth of America are being hijacked. You know, by the Maoists. His impression of Meghan McCain was offensive and I am sure he wouldn't want anyone to mock his children. Of course, his latest diatribe fingered President Barack Obama and made absolutely no sense. Seems to me that he is the "useful idiot" of Fox News.

How Ironic!!!

2. Perhaps he can get tips on how to deal with it from Bill Clinton.

Hey McCain, at least Megan is an adult. Chelsea was what? 12 yrs old when YOU insulted her? Jackass.

3. Not so nice when they turn on you, is it McCain?
Edited on Mon Feb-15-10 01:10 PM by Pithlet
Sorry, but I have no sympathy. The Republicans let these assholes be their mouthpieces of hate. I've never understood why. So he turned and bit back. I'd hope that maybe it would be a lesson learned, but I'm not going to hold my breath. ETA I say I've never understood why, but that's not true. I do. It's because Beck and their ilk are instrumental in their success. So McCain feigns outrage, but ultimately he'll go along with it and Beck will continue to be one of the mouthpieces of the movement. It's sick.

17. I bet he was plenty upset that he lost the S.C. primary.
But he still played huggy-bear with Bush four years later.

6. Tough rockos, McAnus!
John McCain made this odious joke about Chelsea Clinton in front of a bunch of repigs back in '98:

'Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.'

Chelsea Clinton was 12 years old! The corporate media wouldn't even run it because it was so unabashedly hateful (although I suspect it had more to do with protecting one of their pigs in Congress than tastelessness).

Keep talking, McAnus; it'll give us more opportunity to dig up your past - performing the corporate media's job for them.

8. Nah, McCain is notoriously spineless when people trash his family
During the 2000 primaries, some Rove operatives spread rumors about his wife's drug addiction and daughter's parentage and he didn't say a word even though he knew where the attacks were coming from. In fact a few years later we were treated to this lovely image

10. Some day, McCain may realizes that no matter how much he panders
to the nutjobs, they will still hate him and attack him and his family, regardless.

11. So once again the wingnuts go after McCain's daughter and yet he continues
to kiss their asses? No, thanks. I have no sympathy for grandma. After he allowed KKKarl Rove/Bush folks to smear him in the 2000 SC Repuke primaries and yet continues to kiss their asses, he gets absolutely no sympathy from me.

13. Too bad politicians can't just take a step back and start ignoring
the slings & arrows of tv-idiots.. Pols should spend more time studying bills & less time answering back for mean things tv-idiots say about their kids..
Meghan has put herself "out there", and once she stepped from the shadows, into the limelight, she asked for attention to herself, her words & her deeds.

She's not a whimpering 11 yr old who had something mean said about her at school..

Beck is an asshole, 1st Class, but he's only doing what he's paid to do. Professional shit-stirrers should be ignored....not raised higher by having a sitting-senator going toe-to-toe with them.

the proper response?..

"Glenn who?..Oh that nutcase Rush-wannabee at Fox? My daughter is a confident, outspoken, grown up woman, who does not need her Daddy fighting her battles"..

14. Well, Beck's kind of right on this one.
Megan is simply a way for the right to market conservatism as hip and cool and edgy blah blah blah.

Megan's a moron if she doesn't realize she's going to be dumped the minute she outlives her usefulness.

16. Piss off enough people, and they might do something about it.
Johnny Mac has all that money laying around, maybe he'd like to fund some anti-Beck activities? And surely he's not the only one who'd like to see Beck ruined and shamed. A man like Beck has secrets, skeletons in his closet. How much per day does a private investigator cost, anyway?
