Donald Trump to Father of Fallen Soldier: 'I’ve Made a Lot of Sacrifices'

Hillary used Khan for pandering votes. The same Hillary that proudly voted for the war in Iraq.

That's standard fare for party conventions. They did the same thing at the RNC when they had Patricia Smith speak.

I doubt it would give Hillary the boost after all these emails and scandals is it fair to compare Hillary to Nixon? :D

The only similarity is that both of the children died because of Hillary's actions, or lack thereof.

If that were true, they would have both spoken at the RNC. However, that was not the case. One spoke at the DNC and the other spoke at the RNC. These are 2 separate, opposing conventions. Their goal in each case was to attack the opposing candidate.
 
ISIS Joins Donald Trump in Dishonoring Humayun Khan’s Sacrifice

The Republican nominee continued his war on the parents of a U.S. Army captain while the Islamic State called the Muslim war hero an apostate—and attacked Hillary Clinton.

ISIS joined Donald Trump on Sunday in dishonoring the sacrifice of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan.

The newest issue of the so-called Islamic State’s propaganda magazine Dabiq said the Muslim war hero died as an “apostate” when he was killed by a car bomb in Iraq in 2004 after ordering soldiers under his command to stand back as he moved foward to investigate the vehicle.

Khan was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. ISIS published a picture of his headstone and captioned it, “Beware of dying as an apostate.”

The terrorist group calls all Muslims who don’t adhere to its narrow ideology apostates and reserves particular ire for those who live and participate in Western democracies.

Like ISIS, Trump made the issue Islam instead of Khan.


And on the same day that ISIS smeared his name, Trump excoriated Khan’s parents, who addressed their son’s sacrifice and Trump’s anti-Muslim racism at the Democratic National Convention.

“If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America,” Khizr Khan, the soldier’s father, said. “He vows to build walls, and ban us from this country.”

Trump first responded in a statement where he said the Khans had “no right” to criticize him.

“Captain Humayun Khan was a hero to our country and we should honor all who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe,” he said. “While I feel deeply for the loss of his son, Mr. Khan, who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution, which is false, and say many other inaccurate things.”

Khizr Khan immediately struck back, calling the statement “faked empathy” that is “typical for a person without a soul.”

Not content with insulting the father of a slain soldier, Trump bashed Capt. Khan’s mother (who last spoke to him on Mother’s Day 2004), intimating that she was barred from speaking by her husband at the DNC because she is Muslim.

“She had nothing to say. She probably—maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say,” Trump told George Stephanopolous in an interview airing Sunday. (The Republican nominee added that Khizr Khan was “very emotional” but a “nice guy.”)

Ghazala Khan responded directly to Trump in a Washington Post op-ed on Sunday, saying he is “ignorant” about Islam and “doesn’t know what the word sacrifice means.”

Trump belittled that claim when Khizr Khan made it at the DNC.

“Did Hillary’s script writer write it?” Trump asked in the Stephanopolous interview, which was taped on Friday.

In fact, Khan spoke extemporaneously.

Then Trump continued to claim he has a made a “lot of sacrifices” by creating jobs.

The same issue of Dabiq apparently took a jab at Hillary Clinton while saying nothing about Trump. The magazine rails about the “extinction” of Western women because of the West’s war on human nature, which dictates that “woman does not imitate man.”

“For this reason, when the daughter of a Persian king became ruler of Persia, the Prophet said, ‘A people who give their authority to a woman will never prosper,’” it said.

Indeed. Coverage was just a tad different, though. ;)

I feel for both moms but the incidences were a tad different, too.

One death occurred in a war that was considered "legitimate" by Americans; the other was an alphabet cover with a made-up story over covert action.

Not saying both lives were not valuable, just pointing out that the MSM may not want to give the 2nd one any legitimacy- could be a bit dangerous.

You hit Trump, he hits you back. That is why he's been so successful. Media has gotten complacent over the years going up against cucked out Republican candidates who back down and grovel at the drop of a hat. Trump will ALWAYS hit back. And in this case it was very much deserved. You want to use your dead son as a set piece, you don't do at the coronation of the woman who supported the idiotic war that got your son killed in the first place. You want to waive around the Constitution, you better know what it actually says before mouthing off.

Just understand that Trumps argument, that the problem with the middle east is that we haven't been tough enough on terror is a neocon talking point. Ron Paul says we have been too nice to terror because we keep arming terror.

I heard in a PBS debate by senior host that Trump wanted to hit some DNC speakers... without any context and he multiple times repeated this line trying to suggest as if he wanted to hit them physically.
Trump is no saint but there is dishonesty in almost all media.

As others have said, CPUd is no longer in that camp. One of our main goals with the liberty movement is to bring people to our side, that was done with CPUd, I'm not sure why we shouldn't be grateful of that and not attack them for it.

Indeed, we should be delighted to have non-libertarians becoming libertarians.

...sadly, these days, it seems the conversions are going mostly in the other direction.

It's difficult to blame an ignorant man for having never been exposed to the truth.

...it's much easier to loathe a person once exposed to the truth for having rejected it.

...in favor of a socialistic, orange-haired, reality television character, for instance.
