Meghan McCain Bites Back at Laura Ingraham

Meghan McCain’s not one to let herself be insulted.
The budding journalist, who is also the daughter of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain, today blasted radio host Laura Ingraham for her remarks that she’s "plus-sized."
Wrote McCain on her Twitter page, "Laura Ingraham, please stop talking about my body." She then offered this message: "To all my girls out there. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your body! I love my curves and you should love yours, too!" That’s right, girl!
Update: McCain offers a more detailed response over at The Daily Beast, in which she writes: "At this point, I have more respect for Ann Coulter than I do for Laura Ingraham because at least Coulter didn’t come back at me with heartless, substance-less attacks about my weight."

Another Meghan McCain article! Keep em’ coming, I like this young woman more and more.
Hold your head high Meghan, you are not only intellegent but beautiful as well.
The personal attack on Meghan by Laura was a bit childish…but we must remember that Meghan is lashing out at Conservatives that were not really in her dad’s corner during the primaries both supporting OTHER candidates.
The truth is in this arena (political commentary)…if you are going to dish it out you better be able to take it as well! And just appearing on Rachel’s show probably infuriated the far right and then to bad mouth any of it’s members was not going to endear her with that part of the party.
John should have warned her…and if he did and she did it anyway…she better be careful the next time she attend a Rep even when both women are there. Conservative Talk radio hosts ae a bit on edge right now…and you know how women ae when attacked even by one that is suuosedly their own!
Interesting that so many of the Liberals here are defending Meghan but see absolutly nothing wrong with bashing Palin, her children, granchildren, their boyfriends, her hometown, and state.
Petty is not anywhere near the word for what was said and continues to be said about them!
S.J. …that so many of the Liberals here are defending Meghan but see absolutly nothing wrong with bashing Palin, her children, granchildren, their boyfriends, her hometown, and state.
Meghan is not perceived as a threat. Let her start seriously campaigning for a popular Republican, and the libs will tear her apart.
I don’t remember any "Liberals" making bashing Palin’s appearance. We had enough to fault Palin about as far as her inadaquate experience, educational background, knowledge and intelligence, that made her a horrible choice for VP. Nobody had to stoop to attacks on her appearance. As far as Megan McCain goes, I think making fun of her weight is a tacky, low blow and if Laura Ingraham had anything concrete to say, she wouldn’t have stooped so low.
It is my personal opinion that once John McCain gets out of politics, if not before, Megan will realize that her political leanings are more toward the Democratic Party and she will feel free to say so. The GOP, as is obvious by the vitriol of Laura Ingraham, has no room for moderate thinking in their party, and Megan will realize that.
