Response to "Godless Causes Liberals to Pray…"
This week's Coulter column (June 21, 2006) is a doozy. She opens with this:
I dedicate this column to John Murtha, the reason soldiers invented fragging. So here we have the bestselling Republican pundit in the country saying that a dedicated military veteran should be killed. A woman who never served in the military — though she was eligible until four years ago — calling for the murder of a military veteran with five medals to his name: a Bronze Star with Valor device, two purple hearts, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, and the Navy Distinguished Service Medal. [1]
"Fragging" is a term applied to the assasination of a superior officer, generally by grenade.
Later, after calling the 9/11 widows the "Witches of East Brunswick," she stops with the insults and starts just flat-out lying:
…the single most important item on the Democrats' agenda is abortion. Indeed, abortion is the one issue the Democratic Party is willing to go to war over -— except in the Muslim world, which is jam — packed with prohibitions on abortion, but going to war against a Muslim nation might also serve America's national security objectives. Liberals don't care about women. They care about destroying human life. To them, 2,200 military deaths in the entire course of a war in Iraq is unconscionable, but 1.3 million aborted babies in America every year is something to celebrate.
The Democratic party is willing to go to war over abortion; with who? Where does she get this stuff? And who is actually "celebrating" these abortions? Are there posters with some guy giving the camera a thumbs up with the tagline, "Next year, let's shoot for 1.5 million!" No, of course not.
It is interesting that Coulter says "liberals don't care about women." She considers women responsible for helping elect Democrats in the past. She blames them for keeping Republicans from getting elected:
"It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 — except Goldwater in '64 — the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted." [2]
Oddly, Coulter does vote. Does she only see the value in women that vote Republican?
