In response to Meghan McCain’s latest MSNBC rant (video below), Kevin Eder posted the following to Twitter:
Besides go on MSNBC to smear conservatives, what exactly has Meghan McCain done to advance conservatism? Anyone? Bueller?

I would take it a step further: besides going on MSNBC to smear Conservatives, what has Meghan McCain done? Not much. I’m sure she’s been involved in other causes, but whenever the self-proclaimed queen of the moderates makes news, it’s because she’s filling the role of “person with an ‘R’ after their name who reliably bashes conservatives.”
That’s her schtick; it’s all she has, and it’s why I don’t expect her to switch parties anytime soon. If she did, MSNBC would no longer have a use for her. They have plenty of other far more prominent liberals who can bash conservatives.
That’s the deal: In exchange for being the Republican who bashes Conservatives, McCain gets immunity from the left-wing media machine. Why else would Media Matters constantly leap to her defense?
