Sadly Cleland is so desperate for redemption for his defeat that he is willingly selling his soul for a lie.

[Paul Atreides]

This all reminds me of Bill Clinton, who always had to put himself in the midst of some life-altering event, even if he had to make it up on the spot.

Cleland's true heroism came after the war, when he went on to build a productive life for himself.

At least she has something nice to say rather than the earlier "he drops a grenade, har de har har!" title she had for the other column.

[lawdude]

HooRah!

One gutsy lady. Libs/commies, hate the truth. Why do they continue to lie when some courageous people will point out the truth. I would almost suspect her life is in danger!

And Molly Ivens can eat a rock. That floosy old drunk has been in the bag for so long she wouldn't understand the truth if it spilled her bottle!

"Liberals simply can't grasp the problem Lexis-Nexis poses to their incessant lying."

Classic.

[Dilbert56]

Biggest balls I've ever seen (evidence of) on a skinny woman. One point being overlooked here is that Max Cleland is now an Ex-senator. His opinion is no more relevant than yours, mine, or any other private citizen's.

"...the poignant truth of Cleland's own accident demonstrates the commitment and bravery of all members of the military....."

[Enterprise]

Ah, the lovely Ann. Skewers them again!

Excellent followup by Ann.

Boy did she nail it.

Way to expose the liars that lie.

WND has started to put ads on the INTERNET with pop up audio. This is bad, if you are streaming and a pop up destroys your data stream. I always liked wnd but I will quit going there, until they get rid of it.

An excellent column....Game...Set....Match...Miss Coulter!

[spodefly]

Yum.

Sure, she has brains and beauty. But looking at that picture, I sense a certain emptiness in Ms. Coulter ... a missing element ... a longing that only spodefly can fill.

(And don't be tryin' to tell me otherwise, cause I know better ... )

"He told the pilot he was going to stay awhile.
Maybe have a few beers with friends. ...
Then Cleland looked down and saw a grenade.
Where'd that come from?
He walked toward it, bent down, and crossed the line between before and after."

(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Dec. 5, 1999)

Ann is VINDICATED!

Of course. :o)

Of course, then we always have the Left-wing version of Cleland's service:

It's hard to imagine any recent Democratic senator less soft on national security than Max Cleland, a reflection on the unlikely path he took to the U.S. Senate. In 1967 he volunteered for combat duty. The next year, during the siege of Khe Sahn, Cleland lost both his legs and his right hand to a Viet Cong grenade. Two years later, at the age of 28, he became the youngest person ever elected to the Georgia state Senate. In 1977 President Jimmy Carter appointed him to head the Veterans Administration. He later became Georgia's secretary of state. And in 1996, Georgia voters sent Cleland and his wheelchair to the Senate.

At least we get to discuss more than one side of the story here on Free Republic, unlike Republic.com (DU & the Smirksters). :-)

"Sadly for them, dozens and dozens of newspapers have already printed the truth.
Liberals simply can't grasp the problem Lexis-Nexis poses to their incessant lying.

They ought to stick to their specialty – hysterical overreaction." - Ann Coulter

Among many other examples, last November, Eric Boehlert wrote in Salon: "[D]uring the siege of Khe Sanh, Cleland lost both his legs and his right hand to a Viet Cong grenade."

I see that Ann must have liked my little research piece on Eric Boehlert. ;-)

"[D]uring the siege of Khe Sanh, Cleland lost both his legs and his right hand to a Viet Cong grenade."

During the battle of Khe Sanh I lost the keys to my car. I remember that year very well. But I was nowhere near Viet Nam.

It is remarkable how exquisitely the rats have honed the art of inducing the false inference. They do it very well daily in hundreds of articles. If we just pause and wonder about the false implications...
