(Usatoday).Blogger Meghan McCain -- daughter of the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain -- has taken aim at conservative commentator Ann Coulter.
"Certain individuals continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Republicans. Especially Republican women," McCain writes at The Daily Beast under the headline "My Beef with Ann Coulter."
McCain, who describes herself as a "progressive Republican," says she finds Coulter "offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same" and argues that she appeals to a wing of the party that is dying off.
"If figureheads like Ann Coulter are turning me off, then they are definitely turning off other members of my generation as well," says McCain, who is 24,"The GOP should be happy to have any young supporters whatsoever, even if they do digress some from traditional Republican thinking".
"...here is what I don’t get about Coulter: Is she for real or not? 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? And what was she thinking when she said Hillary Clinton was more conservative than my father during the last election? If you truly have the GOP’s best interests at heart, how can you possibly justify telling an audience of millions that a Democrat would be a better leader than the Republican presidential candidate?".
