Latest Ann Coulter Outrage: On Fragging John Murtha


I've already mentioned my disdain for Ann Coulter and her psychopathic ramblings about liberals, dems and the 9/11 Widows. Now she has targeted Representative John Murtha.

The woman has been given carte blanche to spew her vitriolic hatred on TV by NBC, Fox "News" and others. No elected official in the Republican Party has condemened this woman's hate and venomous rhetoric. Not One! Lets remember that when the mid-term elections come around this fall.

In an interview at a right-wing news site, Coulter actually suggests (in so many words) that Murtha be murdered!! Here is the article about Coulter as it appeared in Editor & Publisher, yesterday:

NEW YORK With the brief debate over Iraq in Congress producing such acrimony this week that one congressman suggested opponents of the war support al-Qaeda, it should come as no surprise that columnist and author Ann Coulter would top them all. In an email interview with John Hawkins at the Right Wing News web site, Coulter was asked, among other things, to offer short comments on several individuals. After harmlessly dismissing former Ambassador Joseph Wilson as the "World's most intensely private exhibitionist," she said of Rep. John Murtha, the hawkish ex-Marine and now antiwar congressman: "The reason soldiers invented 'fragging.'" Fragging, which became a well-known expression --and occurence -- during the Vietnam war, means soldiers attempting to kill their own officers for one reason or another. This was so over the top that conservative Mike Krempasky at RedState.org posted, "I've said before that's its kind of ironic that just about every phrase Stewie from Family Guy uses to describe Lois could easily be applied to Ann Coulter. Well - once again, Ann proves us right." He went on to call her "fragging" remark absolutely "disgusting....there's no excuse - NONE - for the allusion to soldiers who kill other soldiers. It's despicable - and frankly, so is Coulter."Coulter's column is syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate. On its home page, Universal hails her "witty, no-holds-barred commentaries on the Washington scene. She tackles the hot issues with fervor and stands up for the things that she believes in."
