I need help in finding audio of radio ads run against Max Cleland

[BeachBuckeye]

In Georgia during the mid-terms. Personally, I never heard any of the ads but I am told that some of them were as brutal as the tv ads against him. Anybody got anything?

3. To show how despicable the Chambliss ads really were,

(Are you researching generally dirty campaign tricks?), I think you should include more detail about Max Clelland's courage, bravery and heroism than is typically provided. Yes he is a triple amputee Vietnam vet, but most people don't know that he could have spent the war as an adjutant to a brigadier general in New Jersey, but pushed hard to get assigned to Vietnam. He was nearing the end of his tour when he heard about Operation Pegasus, a joint relief operation by Marines and Army to relieve the siege of Khe San. He had to really push to get assigned to that - had to get himself reassigned to a different unit. Get the second edition of his book if you haven't already read it - his bravery in dealing with his lifelong disabilities and putting in 30 years of public service is epic - the man's life is like a classic Greek or Shakespearean tragedy.

Not only did the Republicans smear him on radio and TV, but they also spread the rumor/story around the state that he was never actually in battle - that he was fooling around with a grenade in "base camp" and accidentally blew himself up. The line I heard was "He never held a rifle, just a pencil." Total crap.

5. Where oh where have they gone?

After doing a lot of checking it seems that almost all traces of his dispicable ads are gone. Please let me know if you find any.

7. There was an article yesterday

in the Houston Chronicle, describing how bitter and disillusioned Cleland had become as a result of that disgusting, dirty campaign.

Here's a link to the article

It relates what he's doing today. Maybe his office could help with audio clips. He really got shafted by Rove and his henchmen.

8. And if Black Box Voting is correct, his loss was in an election

very susceptible to fraud.

Think it could've happened?
