Talk:2002 United States Senate election in Georgia

Chambliss's ad had nothing to do with Cleland's patriotism, but rather addressed his voting record
If Ann Coulter is to be believed, in her article Teaching Democrats New Tricks, the left's claim that Sen. Saxby Chambliss ran an ad challenging Max Cleland's patriotism in the 2002 Senate campaign is 'Another Stalinesque classic … the ad … does not challenge Cleland's patriotism. [It] begins by noting that America is facing "terrorists and extremist dictators" -- briefly showing pictures of them -- and goes on to say that although Cleland said he "supports Bush at every opportunity," in fact he had voted against "the president's vital Homeland security efforts 11 times." …as I noted in "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)," Cleland voted against the establishment of a Homeland Security Department ... because it didn't allow for unionization of the work force: OH MY GOD! THERE'S A PLANE HEADED FOR THE WHITE HOUSE! Sorry, I'm on my break. Please call back in two hours. It was a completely legitimate campaign ad -- urgent in fact -- having nothing to do with Cleland's patriotism, but rather addressing his voting record (and, I would add, his sanity).'
