It's when you have your hands and feet shackled so tightly that you have to hop from one point to another...
Think Lee Malvo... the kid who was one of the Beltway Snipers. He frog marched down the steps in every clip they had of him.

I would think "Frog marched", refers to the French after surrending to the German military.

When "frog-march" (also sometimes called "the frog's march") first appeared as slang around 1871, it meant to carry a prisoner (or a drunk being ejected from a bar) face down, with each of four husky men holding an arm or leg. The term comes from the resemblance the recipient of the procedure bears to a frog with its limbs splayed out. Today, however, "frog march" is usually used to mean the less dramatic (but equally effective) method of forcibly propelling a prisoner forward while pinning his arms behind him.

Frog-marched means someone grabs your arms and someone else grabs your legs and they take you where they want to put you whether you like it or not.

Good morning.
"OK, so what exactly is Frog marched?"
If it's the Froggie Foreign Legion, it is a slow march to the beat of a song about blood sausage.
If it's a leftist swine, it involves being marched off to court in shackles with the assistance of stern faced marshals while the cameras are rolling.
We can only hope, eh.

I believe it comes from the French military style of walking backwards with their hands in the air...

This is also what Blowhard Joe said about Karl Rove a couple of summers
ago . Created lots of excitement among usual MSM suspects.
“It's of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs.”
