The sadly obligatory “Meghan McCain calls Joe the Plumber a dumbass” post
posted at 8:08 pm on July 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
When news is slow, as it is tonight, it’s either MeggieMac or an atheism post. Consider yourselves lucky.
Worth noting that Elisabeth Hasselbeck said virtually the same thing about JTP two months ago, although I grant you that it’s bigger news when the daughter of the guy who made Joe famous drops the bomb on him. Even so, isn’t she right? Just this one time?
Yet even as the balance begins to shift, the old guard is still yapping in the foreground. Shortly before McCain sat for this interview, Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, gave an interview to Christianity Today in which he complained about “queers” and declared, “I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.” Unprompted, McCain rails against the man her father’s presidential campaign touted as an American everyman and made a showpiece in the weeks before the election. “Joe the Plumber — you can quote me — is a dumbass. He should stick to plumbing.”
If you missed his full interview with Christianity Today in May, you’ll find it here. Seriously: Gay adoption is practically mainstream these days and presumably welcome by conservatives as an alternative to abortion — and yet JTP thinks gays are uniformly unfit to be around children? That’s not dumbass? Since anything MMc says is deemed RINO until proven otherwise, let’s approach the question from a different angle: Do you think Sarahcuda, goddess of True Conservatism, is closer to the McCain or Wurzelbacher position on this one? I’d guess the former. Tell me why I’m wrong.
Exit question I’m going to regret: Er, why exactly do so many of you guys seem to loathe Meggie Mac, who’s pro-life, pro-gun, Christian, and hawkish, while you tolerate an atheist who’s squishy on abortion like me? Is it because she spends most of her time bashing the GOP on gay marriage instead of rubbing The One’s face in crap? I’m puzzled.

Anyone who thinks a child does not deserve a mother and a father is a dumbass.
corona on July 16, 2009 at 9:04 PM
I agree with you with all that is in me. Children deserve a shot at a normal life. This may not be popular, but women who “don’t need a man” are on my list, too. What kind of selfish person would intentionally deprive their child of a father?
TXMomof3 on July 16, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Don’t you know WTF Joe IS????
Gay adoption is “practically mainstream”…except most people don’t agree with it…no champion of gay adoption ever won a national election…most people are neither gay, nor adopted, nor adopted by gays…oh! The McCainaics issued a fiat!
or is it a “bull”?
Chris_Balsz on July 16, 2009 at 9:07 PM
What a load of bull!
MM is only reminding us all of why her daddy lost the election: Joe the Plumber was right (dumbass plumber that he is) and managed to rip the mask off of MaObama for all to see before he won the election.
If only John McCain had made more of NObama’s answer to Joe & why it meant that McCain should win and that Ogabe should lose, but nooooo.
We didn’t lose the elections on any level because the GOP take the wrong (but the right) side of the culture war but because McCain let Obama & the MSM control the campaign to bring it in for the “first black president.”
Joe the Plumber had his life destroyed by NObama’s attack machine digging into and making public his private, personal records and McCain said…nothing.
Nor does little Meggie bemoan that here, either.
What would she say if they did the same to her personal records? (Not that she doesn’t blab about every single little thing on Twitter!)
Jenfidel on July 16, 2009 at 9:07 PM

I guess you weren’t here the day Ed declared Sarah Palin’s career was “dead”. Most comments on an HA thread evah
guntotinglibertarian on July 16, 2009 at 9:08 PM
She’s really got it in for this McCainBoobette person. He is doing a parody her, but she claims he is impersonating her and she is always trying to get his account deleted and banned.

yer blazin’ fingers put me to shame, buddy.
guntotinglibertarian on July 16, 2009 at 9:09 PM
It’s because she attacks people who are pro-life, pro-gun, Christian and hawkish, and actively campaigns for people who are pro-abortion, anti-gun, anti-Christian, and Carter-ish. Despite what she claims her positions are, AP is far more tolerant of conservatives.
JohnJ on July 16, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Oh yeah, the anti-Palin column he wrote right after she announced her resignation. This place called Ed every name in the book (ie. AllahPundit).
LastRick on July 16, 2009 at 9:10 PM
A “day”? That was more like an entire holiday weekend.
LiquidH2O on July 16, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Enough with Meghan McCain already. It’s worse torture than having to watch endless, vapid news coverage of Michael Jackson, Princess Diana’s death, or the frigate searching the waters off Martha’s Vineyard for JFK Jr.
Kalifornia Kafir on July 16, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Well, MM isn’t going anywhere. If the left keeps stroking her and conservatives keep tolerating her, she will go on thinking that she is god’s gift to the party.
Blake on July 16, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Need to concentrate on calling congress and fighting them before their recess. During recess lets all go birther.

More Mary Katharine Ham!

Meghan McCain’s Fat Ass should stick to writing about the best donut shops in AZ.
Bulldogger on July 16, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Very true. But that’s not what’s happening.
I understand you were just giving the possible Hotair position. I think you give them too much credit, though. Hotair made their feelings about the eligibility issue clear when they called us names on every thread they, grudgingly, put up about it.
progressoverpeace on July 16, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Collie, you have a better idea?

CyberCipher on July 16, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Because the internet is kinda low on social cons.
That’s a big part of it too. The “Moderates” spend an inordinate volume of their time brandishing their mavericky bona fides (read feeding conservatives a shinola sandwich over whatever social con boogeyman has a bee in their bonnet) when “rounding up gays” and “converting the Middle East” (to quote Jazz Shaw” are not anywhere near our biggest problems.
Lehosh on July 16, 2009 at 9:14 PM
What she likes about it is that when she claims to be part of it while talking about how awful it is, she gets to go on TV.
Jim Treacher on July 16, 2009 at 9:14 PM
My husband was home that weekend. He doesn’t understand my Hotair obsession. Plus, we went out and saw Michelle speak at the Southfork Tea Party. She is awesome in person.
TXMomof3 on July 16, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Allah – I tolerate you only because the REAL MM (Michelle Malkin) didn’t put it up for a vote….
Why she chose you continually mystifies me.
Joy on July 16, 2009 at 9:15 PM
It would seem those issues aren’t truly as important as they are made out to be…
Sic Puppy on July 16, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Now, Jen, I don’t want to get into a tussle widdya.
But when nearly 70% of youth and 70% of self-described moderates voted for Ogabe, it was clear that a lot of the reason for it was the cultural issues.
That may be a bitter pill to swallow, but look at the results.
We’d all like to think that, seeing what a disaster has now ensued, those folks will start voting more judciously. But I don’t think so. As long as Republicans are tarred as the “party of intolerance”, they’re gonna vote with their feelings. Because for a lot of them, tolerance is the only value they hold.
guntotinglibertarian on July 16, 2009 at 9:15 PM
I like Ed, but he was way off on that analysis, as many of us tried to tell him. Palin wasn’t going away (quite the opposite) and that was obvious from her speech.
progressoverpeace on July 16, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Here ya go.
MadisonConservative on July 16, 2009 at 9:16 PM
MMc is a never was who is the daughter of a once was. She is a lefty who says she is a conservative. The amount of attention that recieves from the left is due to the amount of anger she raises in the right. I think she should be ignored and she will go the way of Cindy Sheehan and soon Levi Johnston. As soon as we stop giving her any attention she will fade away. Figuratively of course, ’cause that would be a whole lot of fading.
thomasaur on July 16, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Exit Answer: Megan McCain is a useful tool like her father, willing to not pipe up on any of her conservative beliefs in an attempt to curry favor with the media.
You don’t really want to moderate to be more loved, you have squishy views on abortion and you state them, along with your more conservative opinions, but you don’t promote your squishiness as the new and only way the GOP can win.
The McCain family just seems to pump out tools who want some media lovin’. Pretty sure if Megan McCain were to start going off about her hawkish views or her pro gun views the media’d nail her to a cross just like they did her idiot of a father.

Buh Bye BIMBO. Your 15 minutes are over!

400lb Gorilla on July 16, 2009 at 9:18 PM
His last wife still won’t shut her pie-hole, what makes us think MMc would?
thomasaur on July 16, 2009 at 9:19 PM
First of all, could we have a link to where you’re getting those stats?
Secondly, there weren’t any culture issues on the ballot along with NObama and when there were, as with Prop 8 in CA, Ogabe voters voted against same sex marriage.
So there goes your theory about “the youth.”
And I meet young people every day on Twitter that are culturally, as well as politically Conservative and Republican.
If you’re trying to tell me that we ought to let Meghan lead the party because she & her ditzy dad have the right idea about “culture issues,” you’re crazier than you think!
Jenfidel on July 16, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Not a single conservative on the roster.

What if the donut shop owner wasn’t 100% in favor of gay marriage? Would that make her turn against donuts?

Someone please remind me again why we should give a crap about what this RINO NON-politician has to say? Anyone?
cannonball on July 16, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Meghan calling anybody a dumb ass is funny.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Maybe I misunderstood you then. When these kind of threads go up, it seems that a lot of other users get really aggressive toward the theorists, essentially calling them nutjobs. But I’ve never felt that Hot Air (Ed, Malkin and AP) have been in on the bashing; from them, it feels more like indifference. (Which, as I said earlier, leaves HA the website in conservative no man’s land.)
LastRick on July 16, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Wow, she’ll fit right in. Wonder how much her mom had to pay to get her in that gig.

Allah, you offically suck now.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t think that of “Joe the Plumber”. His 15 minutes were up on Nov. 4, so he had to say something outrageous in a desperate bid to become relevant. It didn’t work.
dcwvu on July 16, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Because Allah is horny and like pi$$ing off those who actually read his sh/t……for now.
Allah is on the fast track to Andrew Sullivanville.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 9:27 PM
First off, gay adoption is NOT mainstream.
Second, Meghan McCain isn’t important enough for me to care about and I don’t really know why she’s posted here so much. . . that said.
She’s loathed because she claims to speak for everyone. I don’t care what anyone thinks personally, but when they start acting like they are speaking for me, I have a problem with them.
As much as I disagree with you on many things AP, you don’t claim to speak for me and try to convince me that you are more like me than me. Meghan McCain does.
ThackerAgency on July 16, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Big time.
No. They (Ed and Allah) were screaming “Birther” “truther” … and generally condescending and nasty for a little while, while main page threads were going up about it. Now they just make pretend it doesn’t exist, save one headline thread some time ago.
progressoverpeace on July 16, 2009 at 9:30 PM
So gays are equivalent to pedophiles!?! I guess we should have them all jailed!?!
Yes, you are sorry.
dee4hill on July 16, 2009 at 9:30 PM
You may disagree with AP, but he does not deserve that. Andi is beyond the pale.
Snowed In on July 16, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Allahpundit,
Yes, I do believe there’s an audience threshold. If your question is why you haven’t crossed it, I would personally attribute it to a number of things; that 90% of your posts cover issues which are of importance to most conservatives; a perceived balance between your writing’s and Ed’s during the sporadic moments when topics involving family and religion emerge.
Sometimes, I suspect there may be an unspoken rule/agreement of courtesy operating between you and Ed that keeps the atmosphere around here from getting self-destructive; one which tempers the “what,” “how,” and “when” the way topics are broached. Whether or not that’s the case, much of that definitely accounts for the general sense of camaraderie we get here from one another.
Disagreements do emerge and surprise conservative readers which, while withering your odds of ever winning a Texas Republican primary, isn’t fatal in a venue lie this,; especially since wherever those differences do become evident, so does your candid awareness of your audience.
I, for one, don’t expect an atheist conservative blogger to hide or betray his conscience on the matter of ultimate belief; neither is it obvious to me why humble self-disclosure should be grounds to go “Perez Hilton” on you. All we ask in return is that you don’t go “Charles Johnson” on us.
Alexander on July 16, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Allah,
I can’t speak for everybody here, but I can tell you why I loathe Meghan McCain almost as much as your hopelessly puzzled/white knight routine:
She criticizes the right at every opportunity, while swallowing praise from lefties, by making points that are completely invalid. (i.e. Cheney’s criticism of Obama was “unprecedented” even though Gore did the same thing.)
She peddles lefty movements under the guise of being a “Republican” while essentially classifying those who disagree with her the same way as the left. (i.e. “no h8” picture, as if those of us who believe in a heterosexual nuclear family or voted yes on prop. 8 are haters, bigots, and homophobes.)
She joined the Republican party for “father’s day”, she is a spoiled brat, and she is in love with herself and the media at a level that rivals Obama.
She has nothing to show to back up her positions you listed other than being the daughter of a Senator and multi-millionaire and her Art History degree.
She is a coattail riding phony Republican if there ever was one. On the other hand, we appreciate you, despite a few of your flawed positions, because you at least have the history, dedication and reasoning capacity to show that you are genuine in your convictions.
wowrob on July 16, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Here’s a link: http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/national-exit-polls.html
Voters under 29 went 66% for Ogabe.
Self-identified moderates went 60% (OK, I was a bit off on that, but 60% is still huge.)
What I find particularly interesting is that up until 1984, both of those groups went Republican.
There didn’t have to be any cultural issues on the ballot: there rarely are. That’s not the point. The point is that the MSM and academia have done a great job of painting the Right and the GOP as intolerant and in the pocket of evangelical snake-handlers.
And of course you meet conservatives on Twitter. So what? The numbers are the numbers.
guntotinglibertarian on July 16, 2009 at 9:36 PM

You can’t arrest a pedophiliac pervert who has never committed a crime.
You just watch them very closely and obviously you never allow them to adopt.
The adoption agencies #1 priority should be looking out for the safety of the children..not making sure the agency is “PC enough”..

I should add that 60% is huge because 44% of the electorate considers themselves moderate compared to only 22% liberal and 34% conservative.

That article is soooooo WOWZA! Fag hags are tolerated in gay circles because we feel sorry for them. It’s totally true.

If John McCain had won the election, Little Meighan would have the opporotunity to say:
“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.”
Meighan McCain is an opprotunist on the levels of Michelle Obama.

Nice false dichotomy AP. A child doesn’t have to go to gay parents to avoid an abortion. I personally know more than 5 couples who have had to go to foreign countries to adopt a child because there was such a long waiting list in the US.

Bulldogger on July 16, 2009 at 9:49 PM
I’m an atheist who’s a bit squishy on abortion, (though less than you), and I don’t like the McCain girl either. It’s nothing personal, I’ve just never read anything that she’s had to say that I found useful in any way, and usually quite the opposite. I categorize her with Frum and Powell: pretenders trying to move America to the left and away from our founding principles. She’s a threat.
Even though, in spite of many similarities, I have some major issues with some on the right, I’d rather have a right and a left rather than two lefts so that at least we have the option of achieving middle group through divided government. If we have two big-government leftist parties that becomes impossible.
FloatingRock on July 16, 2009 at 9:49 PM
The fatty needs to shove more food in her mouth and exhale less hot air.
Tim Burton on July 16, 2009 at 9:49 PM
AP, I actually do have to agree with this sentiment… It may be because I’m not well connected with a source of adoption statistics at the moment, but do you really think the public really considers gay adoption as mainstream as apple pie?
Alexander on July 16, 2009 at 9:50 PM
while you tolerate an atheist who’s squishy on abortion like me?
Some of us still remember the old Allahpundit.com, the funniest political blog ever. Maybe some of us are holding out hope for another Photoshop masterpiece.
Golden Boy on July 16, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Very few children have had a “normal” life, except if the word normal means dysfunctional. All of our lives are experiments, and it’s not really a bad thing. Even if a same sex couple is in some theoretical sense not as a good for a child, it’s still the case that other experiences of the child are going to so overwhelm whatever theoretical shortfall of same sex couples on children to make it just silly to worry about whatever that shortfall could be possibly be. Let’s try to have some perspective.
thuja on July 16, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Watch for his remarks about the Orthodox church, and his concept of it as the “one true church”. Only one other poster ever showed that kind of fervor.
MadisonConservative on July 16, 2009 at 9:54 PM
You seem far too intelligent for that to be the case, especially when you give her tips on how she might not be loathed.
There really are so many reasons, not the least of which is that her recent switch in party affiliation feels just way to… convenient considering it was a Father’s Day present and only came after he received the nomination.
But then, it really doesn’t help that the vast majority of her articles are about how much the GOP sucks @ss, appealing only to liberals who like to pretend they’re open minded enough to read a conservative, even if it’s just one.
You’re squishy on social issues, but at least you’ve been in the trenches, actually promoting conservatives and conservative ideals. That gives you the right to say when something is wrong.
Plus, the young girl, though Columbia educated, is not half as smart as she thinks she is and seems completely oblivious to the fact that she wouldn’t even be paid attention to were it not for the fact that she’s a McCain.
While you, on the other hand, are a very talented writer who’s earned his spot through hard work.
Even acknowledging your beta male attitude, you can’t possibly not see the vast differences unless you really are that infatuated with her.
She may be right on Joe here, but she’s REALLY not one to talk. That she doesn’t see that, isn’t even her main problem.
Esthier on July 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
you tolerate an atheist who’s squishy on abortion So says the Allah Pundit….
Well sir Allah, with you we have no choice…. you are our director ergo we do your will for the most part….. we do have a choice, however, with the completely ignorant, opportunistic, kid that is fat and completely narcissistic and diligently working to pry a place for herself in the mainstream where she does NOT fit nor will ever belong. She is not from here………. Meantime, you brought up the atheist thing dude…. there is in your heart of hearts and depths of your body and “soul” an URGE that tells you you are wrong….. shhhhhhhhhh, just listen my man.. shhhhhh natural law AP. Why is it that you do not display and support and allow for the things that one without a god would do….. (make a list) yet you do not do them….. NATURAL LAW MY FRIEND. ciao for now.

No I’m not.
Madison is probably just a braindamaged teenager and probably harmless but I am going to report him to the moderators soon if he doesn’t quit stalking me and posting this everytime he sees my comments.

I always wondered what the reasoning behind that was. Thanks for explaining that.

You could be right, lot of similarities in content. Well if you’re right I hope he’s a little better in this incarnation cause without RedPill and apacalyps for backup he was just pitiful. Sorta like this guy…..
Oldnuke on July 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I think people need to accept that families come in all varieties. They should pay attention to their own family and children and stop worrying about other peoples lives. People who are obsessed about gay adoption are just depressed suburbanites living an anti-depressant filled existence, wanting to add a sense of control to their pathetic lives.
dcwvu on July 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I would also add that Allahpundit doesn’t appear on Bill Maher and other shows where conservatives are constantly mocked like Meghan does.
terryannonline on July 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Re: Those ‘youth’ and ‘moderate’ voters…
how many were there, by chance? You give %s, but not absolute numbers. This could be a major flaw in this logic.
So moderates went 60-40 for Obama and youth went 66-34 for Obama, percentage-wise, correct? And you are from that arguing that the moderates and youth are important voting blocs, right?
Now, can you give me an estimate as to how many conservatives didn’t vote (for either major party) because McCain was the candidate? Also, can you give an estimate as to how bad the splits would have been if a more conservative Republican candidate had been the nominee? Without that, you cannot really prove your conclusion.
If McCain lost us enough votes from the conservative base trying to woo the moderates, then a moderate Republican candidate is a net negative in terms of votes.
Scott H on July 16, 2009 at 9:58 PM
She more of a squish than her father.
She has no compunction to sticking her finger into the eyes of the republican party (nut doesn’t fall far from the tree, who woulda thunk?).
Advocated about moving the “Big Tent” to the left. Which won’t work. It will leave out the right and the tent will try to take up space that’s already crowded with the Dem tent.
She mourns the loss of Arlen Specter when everyone else was (Rightly) getting ready to slam the door on his ass on the way out.
I don’t want a pampered princess to be the mouth piece of my political party even though the MSM is hell bent on maker her so.
That’s for starters.
DaveC on July 16, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Please, follow through on your threat. I’m sure they’d love to check your IP against SaintOlaf’s last one.

She lectures conservatives about “tone” and then appears on the Bill Maher show.

And Meghan McCain is a FATASS!
Isn’t her 15 minutes of “fame” up yet???
SmallGovtGuy on July 16, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Maybe it’s because she’s being foisted up everyone as some “new” spokesperson of the GOP when she hasn’t really done a damn thing and only, what, became a republican..last year?
Not exactly the best cred…
StevefromMKE on July 16, 2009 at 10:02 PM
I don’t have anything against gay people, and I’ve known several, but if they want to have kids they should do it the old fashioned way.
It’s immoral to experiment with children by placing them in unnatural environments during their childhood and then waiting until they’ve grown up to tabulate whether they turned out normal or not.
FloatingRock on July 16, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Ooooohhh! He so scawwwwyyyy. I’m surprised you’re not huddling and a dark corner piddling yourself.
Oldnuke on July 16, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Agreed. As a guy who just asked a question, he was great. As an actual spokesperson, he was a joke.
That’s idiotic. Believing homosexuality is a sin actually has some logic to it. Believing that all gays want to have sex with children (regardless of their gender apparently) is really, really stupid.
More than a few, Jet. Joe’s no bright bulb, but at least he got one question right.

That’s a confession, not an accusation. Thou dost project too much.

My “sadly obligatory” two cents:
Who cares what Meg has to say!
Gay adoption is not mainstream. Just because the liberal media repeats the lie often, doesn’t make it so. It would be even less mainstream if the truth about how the majority of homosexuals were molested themselves as children and tend to molest children when they become adults. Ever hear of NAMBLA?

Good grief, I am greatly disappointed in myself for being here listening to the banter about this nothing elf. She is NOT a conservative; she is NOT a Republican; she is not a leader; she is NOT intelligent; she is NOT attractive; she is totally opportunistic. One evening at family dinner daddy said, sure, why not, why don’t you get involved. You are beautiful, smart, conservative and we need a leader now that I have failed so go grab this bully pulpit called McCain…… SORRY, she is not capable of leading a one car funeral…. please conservative friends, release her from your thoughts. Let her go and quietly assist the least common denominator of the grand Reagan party…..

Someone, anyone, stuff a wad of gorilla glue in a twinkie and toss it onto her balcony.
When will this fat fake ignorant twit shut the f up?
Her whimp of a father lost.
Now tell this ignorant twit to go away.

By that same logic, Scientologists should not be allowed to adopt, nor any other cult members. Do we deny them? Who judges what is a true “unnatural” environment? I’m pretty sure this guy is straight.

Whoa. I thought all the rhetoric sounded familiar. Good call Madison. St. Olaf…..what a maroooon.

“Normal” is a broad categorization that encompasses a diverse array of factors, but one thing that is certainly not normal—as in, it’s impossible—is for for two men or two women to have a baby together.

I’ll admit I agree with Meghan some of the times. It is the way she goes about stating her opinion that annoys me. It almost has a “better than thou” attitude to it. That is what rubs the wrong way, not necessarily what she saying.
