Ingraham to Meghan McCain: You’re a ‘useful idiot’ - Agree?

- Laura Ingraham is calling Meghan McCain a "useful idiot" and a "flavor of the month" — the latest salvo in the war of words between the conservative radio host and the daughter of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

"Memo to Meghan McCain: Enjoy the media coverage while it lasts, but know you're being used," writes Ingraham, in a blog post titled "'USEFUL IDIOT' WATCH." "You are the flavor of the month in left-wing media land because you are a Republican bashing the GOP. Likewise, your dad is most popular among the same people when he is slamming his Republican brethren in full-blown 'maverick' fashion. At least he backs up his views with a lifetime of sacrifice and public service.

Ingraham says liberals are taking a single satirical comment out of context "to paint Meghan as the victim of a right-wing hate crime" and "malign outspoken conservatives."... Read full article »

    Just fyi, I am a middle-of-the-road repub. With that said, I think Laura Ingraham is over the top on this one. This McCain is trying to represent views from HER generation, not mine or Ingraham's. Maybe Laura Ingraham needs to shut for a moment and actually listen to what this girl has to say. The GOP isn't working with the way things are right now.....everyone knows that. Leaning too far to the right is not good (neither is too far to the left like we are seeing with Obama and The Gang). So, what's wrong with new blood and new voices?

    In my opinion, they are both "useful idiot's" I hate Laura with every fiber of my being and long for the day she is taken off the air. Mayber her cancer will return. Horrible of me to say, but oh well. We are already going to hell in a handbasket anyway.

    Why do we give Ingraham, Rush, Coulture, and the likes of them on the far left so much attention? They do nothing for this country!!! When you are that radical either way (left or right) you are a nut job! Why hate on Meghan when she is what the majority of U.S. is ( right in the middle!)

    eh.
    Rush Limbaugh is a conservative, aka right wing.
    But I see the point you're trying to get across.

    I watched her interview on the Rachel Maddow show. Didn't catch it from the begining, but she seemed like a bright young woman, well spoken and knowledgeable. I think it will be interesting to watch where she goes from here.

    Ingraham seems to be just a bit jelious of Meghan McCain. Meghan is beautiful while Ingraham is just what you might say average looking and Meghan has just as much inteligence as Ingraham. So, she has to put her down someway. To say she is fat is terrible. Meghan could have said Ingraham had a face like a horse.
