I met Max during the Kerry campaign in 2004 and was his host. I made arrangements for his hotel stay and transportation to various events and can honestly say he was a kind and genuine patriot and hero. He will be missed.

God Speed you on your way, Max.

Few men have sacrificed more for their country than Max Cleland. Here’s how the GOP paid him back:

“In 2002 Cleland faced Saxby Chambliss for the Georgia Senate seat. Cleland enjoyed a comfortable lead in the polls early in the race but lost much ground in the weeks running up to it. In May 2002 Chambliss was trailing Cleland by 22 percentage points. Chambliss issued a press release decrying Senator Cleland for "breaking his oath to protect and defend the Constitution," because Cleland had voted for an amendment to the Chemical Weapons Treaty that would allow individuals from "terrorist nations" to be on United Nations weapons inspection teams in Iraq.

On election day, Cleland lost to Chambliss 53-46. Some supporters blamed a Chambliss TV ad featuring the likenesses of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein while criticizing Cleland's votes against homeland security measures.[19] Cleland supporters claimed the ad questioned the senator's patriotism,[20] while Chambliss supporters claimed it simply questioned his judgment.[20][21] The ad was removed after protests from prominent politicians, including Republicans such as John McCain and Chuck Hagel, both of whom were also veterans of the war in Vietnam.[22][23]”

So deplorable.

RIP Max.

You beat me to it. No matter that he literally gave parts of his body for this county, all the right wing saw was he was a Democrat.

As in their bs crisis when Kaepernick took a knee against police brutality.

RIP Max Cleland

Right wing jingoism in its pure form. Like when Bush landed on that aircraft carrier with the banner behind him stating 'Mission Accomplished'-- the same year that led to a war that lasted two decades longer.

The sliming of Cleland as a “traitor” was a precursor of what was to come from the GOP, culminating in today’s GOP horror show.

I remember defending Max against right wingers slander way back when most of us here were on Slate's Fray.

It's sickening watching them think that no one notices their cringe worthy diatribe.

Pretty awful occasion to politicize here. I think “RIP” will suffice. Have a nice evening.

If you had the slightest shred of integrity or decency you would criticize Saxby, not me. But you don’t. You only have fealty to your GOP cult.

No surprise.

RIP Max Cleland. I’ll not soil this strand with partisan political hackery - pro-Dem or pro-GOP.

A man died. Leave it.

Too late. You already soiled it. You refused to criticize Saxby while criticizing me simply for pointing out how he disgracefully slimed Cleland. Why? Because you’re a GOP hack.

Sad for you.

RIP, Max Cleland. Just him. This is about him.

Obviously. And also about the disgraceful way he was treated by the GOP. Your cult. But your cultism prevents you from saying that. So be it.

Sadly, you cannot allow a RIP thread to Max Cleland actually be an RIP thread to Max Cleland. That’s life for some folks.

RIP Max Cleland. It is a shame you were not granted more years, sir.
