And if Ahmadinejad is such a big threat (and he is) why isn&#8217;t VoteVets lobbying for the destruction of Iran&#8217;s war-making capability?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the national reaction to a Republican running the same type of ad with his Democrat opponent&#8217;s image next to that of bin Laden, Ahmadinejad, Saddam Hussein, or Ay-hab Ay-rab. I don&#8217;t need to describe the resulting indignant posturing because VoteVets already showed us when Democrat Max Cleland complained to VoteVets about the ad that Saxby Chandliss ran against him;<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tKFYpd0q9nE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tKFYpd0q9nE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>The ad has a tiny picture of bin Laden amongst others and Cleland&#8217;s picture doesn&#8217;t even appear at the same time. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vetvoice.com\/showDiary.do?diaryId=2167\">dicksmith wrote<\/a> during the 2008 election;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you don&#8217;t know Max Cleland&#8217;s story, you probably think the disgusting part of that ad is equating the then-incumbent Senator with Osama bin Laden.But that is small potatoes compared to what is really going on here.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a guy who is quick to anger. However, for the last six years the name Saxby Chambliss has caused my blood to boil because this is the worthless excuse for a human being that accused Max Cleland, who lost three limbs leading troops on the battlefield in Vietnam, of not having the courage to lead. <\/p>\n<p>Not only did Chickenhawk Saxby disrespect and disregard Max Cleland&#8217;s sacrifice<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a horrible thing when Republicans showed a picture of bin Laden in an ad that had to do with Max Cleland (who blew himself up with an errant grenade) but this VoteVets thing puts the Republican right in the same picture as Ahmadinejad. <\/p>\n<p>But we&#8217;re talking about the tiny tots at Vote Vets who think they&#8217;re being cute.
