Max Cleland Gets Cozy With Code Pink
Thursday, October 19, 2006 | Kristinn

One more high profile Democrat has gotten cozy with the anti-American group Code Pink. Max Cleland, former U.S. Senator from Georgia and a Vietnam veteran who was grieviously wounded in a grenade accident, met Code Pink leader and murderous Marxist dictator groupie Medea Benjamin at a Napa, California, benefit concert for the National Veterans Foundation headlined by Code Pink supporter Willie Nelson and the Doobie Brothers.

A photo of Cleland posing with his arm around Benjamin's waist is posted at a Code Pink web site with the following description:

Another big treat was to meet former Senator Max Cleland from Georgia, a veteran who lost both his legs and his right arm in the Vietnam war. Cleland was "Swiftboated" during his reelection campaign in 2002--he lost the race when his opponent ran these horrible ads questioning his patriotism! We told him about our Peace Pledge and he was delighted.

"We've got to get our soldiers out of Iraq!," he insisted. He thanked us heartily for our efforts, and gave us big hugs!

Link to Code Pink page with photo of Cleland and Benjamin.

Cleland recently hosted a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania for fellow Code Pink ally Rep. John Murtha.

I'm not too good with photos. Could someone help out with posting and preserving it before it disappears down the memory hole?

"was grieviously wounded in a grenade accident"

Who was too dumb/drunk to handle a grenade properly.

Jesus, what a has-been convention. It's not like these people have anything better to do than get together and rag on Bush and the war.

Putting on costumes and playing the fool is something leftists believe makes a statement.

Thanks. If you're feeling adventurous, over at this Pinko page can be found a photo of Pinko Nancy Mancias with Cleland.

Further down that page are photos of pink- fingered Code Pinkos mocking the 12 million Iraqi voters who braved terror attacks to vote for their first freely elected government.

Cleland was not swiftboated in 2002. No one questions his military service. The good voters of GA realized he was voting with Kennedy and booted him out of the Senate.
