Latest Ann Coulter Outrage: On 'Fragging' and John Murtha

Latest Ann Coulter Outrage: On 'Fragging' and John Murtha: ". . .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 occasional 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. . .'"
