Coulter's Murtha 'Fragging' Comment Draws Fire
Following the controversy created by her new book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," Ann Coulter has stirred up new outrage with a comment about outspoken anti-Iraq war Congressman John Murtha. In an e-mail interview with John Hawkins at the Right Wing News Web site, Coulter was asked for comments on several prominent individuals. When the name of Pennsylvania Democrat and ex-Marine Murtha came up, Coulter remarked: "The reason soldiers invented ‘fragging.’” "Fragging” became a familiar term during the Vietnam War and refers to soldiers trying to kill their own officers. The comment drew a sharp rebuke from conservative Mike Krempasky, who called it "disgusting,” according to Editor & Publisher.

It’s despicable – and frankly, so is Coulter.” Coulter was already under fire from some – including Hillary Clinton – for attacking the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks that killed their husbands. In her book, Coulter accused the women of "reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis.” In "Godless,” Coulter maintains that liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as "religion.”
