Trump responds to Khan parents DNC speech megathread

[Dr. Arch]

Clinton is also staying out of it smartly to let Trump's continual own-goals and the denunciation of  normally a-political groups and his own party to do the work. She doesn't need to get into the mud on this.

Excellent move. These a-political organizations have no choice, but to denounce Trump's anti-Americanism.

Trump crowd in Nevada booed a military mom (Air Force) who told Pence that Trump was disrespecting the Khan family

I never thought I would see the day when the GOP presidential candidate would go full anti-Military/anti-American; this is the very definition of a campaign with no regard for patriotism.

This has some serious lasting power and could solidify HRC's bounce.

Oh my god this is so perfectly bad.  It's like a diamond of awfulness.

Thank you Interlocutor and Ebowed for the links.
It's incredible to see that some of trump supporters at this rally were so disrespectful to this military mom. But we cant be too surprised, because "birds with the same feather, flock together."
That orange-haired clown has polluted these people's minds, that they act like trump-zombies.
At least Pence was "adult" enough to answer in a proper manner ; we can't say that about Little-Hands-Drumpf-Fuhrer.

The conservative website The Gateway Pundit says that Khizir Khan is an immigration lawyer who programs in selling U.S. citizenship.

The Khans say they're done with this public argument. Trump should send them flowers in thanks.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/08/01/trump-khan-feud/

But they're not done with it.  Mr. Khan is on CNN right now, 10:30 PM Monday night with Don Lemon.

I don't dislike Mr. Khan.  He's a Harvard-educated attorney, and his son is, unquestionably, a hero.  Mr. Khan, however, is now an active surrogate for the Democrats.  That's fine with me, too; it's his right, and I don't think any more or less of him for that.

At what point, however, is Mr. Khan a man who is acting as a political surrogate for a party or candidate?  I think that point came when he used a DNC podium to attack Trump.

Lol citing the Gateway Pundit as a legit news source.

He's an immigration lawyer. News flash: That involves helping people enter the county, but only in the minds of the truly ignorant is there a way to "buy" US citizenship. This article is horse sh**t.

Now predictably here comes Trumpbart with their grand conspiracy oppo dump on the Kahn family...

Breitbart is the HuffPo of the right with added Glenn Beck and Sargon of Akkad.

The issue, FB, is Trump wasted no time in attacking this patriotic Gold Star family on a basis of sheer religious bigotry.

Just admit to yourself: I DON'T CARE if my guy $hits on the families of dead vets. As long as he's MY GUY. He (claims to) support the basic issues I do like trade and somehow deporting millions of browns who've been here since childhood, so I DON'T CARE.

I'd never vote for a candidate who took such a slimeball level of attack, because it demonstrates just how they'd govern. Can you say the same?

Oh yeah. "E-mails!" "Bhengazi!" "Both sides are just as bad".

There's lots on the internet about this, but this is from Mr. Khan's own website.  He's an IMMIGRATION lawyer, specializing in types of visas that are both lucrative and controversial.

I'm sure his outrage over Trump's stances are real, but Trump's a guy whose policies would hit him in his law practice.  There's a bit of self-interest here, is there not?

I don't believe that it's OK to say anything when someone's your guy.  But I also don't believe people get to have it both ways.  Mr. Khan is a political surrogate; there's give and take there.  And he's a political surrogate because he chose to be.  His son is a hero, but he also died in 2004, and while the sorrow over such a loss can last a lifetime for some, he and his wife have had a lot of time to grieve.  There does come a point when you don't get to hide behind a loss like this when you jump in the political arena. 

[Ebowed]

Classic!  The dirty Muslim veteran's father also happens to be an IMMIGRATION LAWYER??!?!  Could this be any more #triggering for the Trump Train?

[Maxwell]

yeah how dare someone give people a vigorous defense in a court of law.

You guys really have nothing on Khizir Khan and instead of being decent human beings and apologizing the first time you keep trying to dig up fake dirt on him. It's pretty embarrassing.

I have no problem with him being a lawyer.  Or an immigration lawyer.  I've not said he's unethical in any way.  But Trump's proposed policies do have the potential to impact his practice, and impact his clients. 

I've only posted Mr. Khan's own website.  Is that "dirt"?

He's a political surrogate.  What I won't do is let him have it both ways.

Fuzzy,
You are clearly throwing "dirt." Just more desperate attempts to discredit the Khan family and connecting any bulls**t related to "immigrants" or "Muslim" to them.
The bigotry from the trump camp continues.
Unbelievable !

[Maxwell]

First of all, how would Trump's policies harm an immigration lawyer's practice? If anything, his policies would give them thousands of new clients and make them much wealthier.

You're about as pathetic as your candidate. It's amazing you people can manage to sleep at night with the level of sleaze you stoop to.

Fuzzy Bear's gone from innocuous pro-Trump Republican hack, to probably the most craven and pathetic hack on this forum, all in a single thread. Bravo.
