Saxby Chambliss Has No Regrets About Attacking War Hero

On Monday, shameless Republican Saxby Chambliss went on Hannity and Colmes and defended his 2002 television spot slandering his opponent, Senator Max Cleland. The ad was roundly condemned by both Democrats and Republicans for montaging pictures of Senator Cleland – a Vietnam Veteran who lost both legs and his right forearm – with images of Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein and questioning his commitment to national security.

Even Senator McCain was disgusted, telling reporters:

“I’d never seen anything like that ad. Putting pictures of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden next to the picture of a man who left three limbs on the battlefield—it’s worse than disgraceful. It’s reprehensible.” -John McCain, 2002

We need to send a strong message to Republicans that we’re not going to let them win any more elections with these despicable campaign tactics. Here is a TV ad Senator Cleland cut for fellow Vietnam Veteran Jim Martin:
