Update: Conservative reaction to Meghan - not good.

Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain, is becoming required reading. She raised eyebrows with tales of her disturbing suitors last week(see gallery below). This week, she turns her attention to right wing power grrrl Ann Coulter, and Coulter doesn't stand a chance. From Daily Beast:

I straight up don't understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time. But no matter how much you or I disagree with her, the cult that follows Coulter cannot be denied. She is a New York Times best-selling author and one of the most notable female members of the Republican Party. She was one of the headliners at the recent CPAC conference (but when your competition is a teenager who has a dream about the Republican Party and Stephen Baldwin, it's not really saying that much).

BAM! Meghan just took out Coulter and CPAC in one swell foop, and seems to be hinting at Rush Limbaugh, too. But Meghan's not done by a damn sight:

Are some of her statements just gimmicks to gain publicity for her books or does she actually believe the things she says? Does she really believe all Jewish people should be "perfected" and become Christians?

...More so than my ideological differences with Ann Coulter, I don't like her demeanor. I have never been a person who was attracted to hate or negativity. I don't believe in scare tactics and would never condone or encourage anyone calling President Obama a Muslim. But controversy sells and Coulter is nothing if not controversial. Everything about her is extreme: her voice, her interview tactics, and especially the public statements she makes about liberals. Maybe her popularity stems from the fact that watching her is sometimes like watching a train wreck.

The Coulter stuff is gold, and it seems too big for Ann to ignore. I can't wait to hear what she says in response.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
