[...] to why McCain didn’t weigh in on Ingraham’s jibes at his daughter? Who knows? Maybe he figures Meghan’s doing just fine on her own? Or, maybe, since [...]

Lots of men are intimidated by outspoken Women.

Perhaps. And some of us are just offended by hate mongers...

Take heart Guys. You are not alone. Lots of men are intimidated by outspoken Women. If this were three men it would be called a spirited debate.
Meghan has a lot to learn but that comes from participation. Some times when you bite off too much, "kiss my ass is an appropriate response. Just like,"give me a Farking break.
This is actually the way real people talk.

If you asked "who would you rather be marooned with on a desert island, I think most people (men and women) would choose Meghan.

It's much easier than Ginger or Maryanne.

Meghan is overweight. Some can argue if she is fat or not since the term “fat” can be used in a subjective way. I didn’t find her attractive when I saw her on TV but that is personal taste. My taste in looks is base on looks not the person political positions but “to each their own”.

It is ironic for those who are upset at Ingraham for calling Meghan fat but then turn around and insult Ann’s and Laura’s looks. Typical liberals, one standard for them and another standard for everyone else.

FTR I have no problem with people expressing if they find someone attractive or whatnot. It just if you get upset when others do it then you don’t need to be doing it yourself. Those who condemn it when someone you like get attack should condemn it when someone you don’t like get attack.

I see that Ingraham is doubling-down this morning by calling Meghan a useful idiot.

/Sarcasm on

Yeah, real classy and oh-so-intelligent that Laura is. This really makes me respect her opinion.

/Sarcasm off

They'll be known as Figgers.

I'm sorry, was this some sort of attempt at "post-racial" humor? Keep your day job, Rodney; you have no future in comedy.

As per universal health care guidelines, fat/overweight people will be the next targeted group to become second class citizens. They'll be known as Figgers.

I've been trying to find a letter to Ann Coulter that was published a few years back on the advent of her decamping from DC and bitching about the lack of suitable men for her therein. No luck, but I do recall it had a number of bullet point pieces of advice for her. One I remember is:

Ann, stop injecting your own urine.

Some advice is timeless.

I'm not going to make fun of Ann Coulter's looks or Laura Ingraham's looks because I'm a pretty average looking person myself, but it doesn't surprise me that a prominent conservative commentator's idea of a quality argument is "Oh yeah well you're fat."

I haven't followed this stuff too closely, but I object to the use of the term 'ad hominem' above. Insulting someone is not necessarily an ad hominem attack. Example: "Meghan McCain is fat." : not ad hominem. "Meghan McCain is wrong because she's fat." : ad hominem. The bit of Inghraham quoted above looks like an insult, but not an ad hominem. (Though, to be clear, I didn't read the whole thing Ingraham said, just the bit quoted above)
