Another Rap On Coulter

MyDD :: A Call for Public Denunciation of Ann Coulter's Fragging Comment:
". . .Ann Coulter does not speak for the American soldier. While she was in college attending Frat parties hundreds of thousands of dedicated American were putting their lives on the line - every day - in far away and dangerous lands that Ann Coulter could not even pronounce. Ann Coulter's military experience revolves around being escorted in and out of Iraq for a USO type visit and then returning to her air conditioned office to spew this sort of filth onto the American people. Congressman Jack Murtha is a twice awarded purple heart recipient and the holder of the Bronze Star. His more than 20 years as a US Marine - with service in Vietnam and beyond - and his unwavering support for the US military throughout his career as a Representative from Pennsylvania is unmatched. And yet this scum of American society, Ann Coulter, states that he is the reason that fragging was invented.


This is not about agreement with Jack Murtha's position and plan for the redeployment of troops from Iraq. This is no longer about whether one agrees with this Administration's strategy for dealing with the future. I have very strong feelings about both and agree with many things that Congressman Murtha says - and disagree with the vast majority of the lies that come from this failed Administration. I make no secret of my disdain for this President's strategy and for my open rejection of his rubber stamping right wing reactionary Congress. Does that make me the reason that fragging was invented? I had dinner with a group of doctors who strongly disagree with this Administration's failed health care polcies - does that make them candidates for fragging by the ER staff? How about the small business owner who cannot survive because of the spiraling cost of health care? Should they be fragged? I was at a gas station and the driver across the pump was cursing about the price of fuel - frag him?


By tacitly justifying the assassination of Jack Murtha (which, in effect is what she is justifying) Ann Coulter has attacked every Veteran in America and she has attacked the very right of every American to express political opinion and I for one am willing to lay down my life to preserve the fundamental freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution - a Constitution that I swore allegiance to and wore a uniform for 24 years to defend.


Ann Coulter is not worthy to wash the uniforms of our military personnel because she fails to understand the core reason of what makes this great nation different from all the rest. Our military swears to defend not the President, not the Congress, but the concepts and fundamental rights guarenteed to us in the Constitution of this great Nation. . ."
