Attack On One Is An Attack On All

After the DNC there has been a lot of back and forth on the speech that a father of a dead veteran made to the convention floor…I was not going to be a part of this stupidity but things change.

Trump has decide he would attack the character of this family over their words……Right wing morons have decided that they would link radical religious jerks…..

If the statement from Mike Pence lauding Humayun Khan as an “American hero” was intended to put an end to the controversy over the fallen US Muslim soldier, it hasn’t done the trick. Among the developments Monday:

  • John McCain weighed in: “In recent days, Donald Trump disparaged a fallen soldier’s parents. He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States—to say nothing of entering its service. I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.” Read it in full at CNN.
  • Columnist Charles Hurt, however, thinks Democrats deserve blame because they used Khizr Khan—and his son’s death—as a political tool at the convention. And Khan “allowed himself to be tricked into it.” Read his column at the Hill.
  • Khan himself went on CNN Monday morning and said the GOP wasn’t doing enough to rein in Trump. “Every Republican has rebuked his behavior, yet no one has stood up and said, enough, stop it, you will not be our candidate.'” See Politico.
  • During Khan’s TV appearance, Trump tweeted, “Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same – Nice!”
  • President Obama entered the fray, though he didn’t mention Trump by name, notes Politico. “No one—no one has given more for our freedom and our security than our Gold Star families,” he said Monday, referring to the families of fallen vets.
  • While former Trump campaign chief Corey Lewandowski had this to say on CNN: “If Donald Trump were the president, Capt. Khan would still be alive today because we never would have entered the Iraq war in the first place.” See the Daily Beast.

My take is that those that are spreading lies and criticism are nothing but COWARDS…..cowards of the highest order.

The son died serving his country and the family has every right to say whatever they would like to say….they have earned the right……anyone that has not served and has not lost a family member in that service have NOTHING to say.

Mr. Khan has earned his right….Trump and his mental midget followers have NOT!

Time for COWARDS to shut up or if they want to comment then join up and earn the right.

The only disgusting thing is to try and link this family for political advantage…..you may hate all you like….but when it comes to a veteran who died for his country then you need therapy….you are a sick son of a bitch!

  3. I think this is very true….
    Cowardice… is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination.
    Ernest Hemingway
    Because you see…controlled imagination becomes mental work,and few people wish to work in this area.
    On a more cheery note… 🙂
    “Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.”

      3. Ok, check this out.
        ….Khizr Muazzam Khan graduated in Punjab University Law College, as the New York Times confirms. He specialized in International Trade Law in Saudi Arabia. An interest lawyer for Islamic oil companies Khan wrote a paper, called In Defense of OPEC to defend the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), an intergovernmental oil company consisting of mainly Islamic countries.

      1. What always amazes me is that parents willingly sacrifice their sons and daughters instead of waking them up to ?

      3. My views are I do not believe we have a right to take a life…unless under extreme provocation….self defence. Not experienced this yet in my life on home ground..or for that matter on foreign soil…but you never know….

  7. Ditto, ditto, ditto, and more. Chuq, I’ve been following on CNN. Heard everything you mention, and more. It’s sickening. The GOP “higher ups” don’t know what to do with him. He is a very loose cannon, for sure. He’s frightening and dangerous. And the ignorant of our population follow him like a stupid puppy. They won’t even listen to the truth, and want to only believe his lies. Woe is all of us!

      1. Even vets can be stupid. Look at the one that gave T. his Purple Heart!!!! And T. commented: “Is it real?” What an ass.

    2. Trump is not the only liar on the campaign trail. There is very little truth coming out of the other side either. Try to imagine Benghazigate with a finger on the nuke button or imagine it leading combat troops into battle. Not comforting at all to me.

      2. I know, John. So much more is being revealed. I’m so upset about it all. And so is most of the nation. We really have no viable choices in front of us, when all is considered. When it comes down to it, I think the only thing to do is to go with the one who has the most experience to run our nation – whether for better or not.

        More well-known and long-term Republicans are turning away. I think there may be a flood in the future.

  8. Emotions are the fastest to react…..some people know this and use it….emotional manipulation with bad intent.
    Morning chuq.

  9. ‘CORRECTION- Mr. Kahn is not an agent of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. His association is with Saudi Jihadi and Omar Naseef #9/11funder’
    More checking needed…..

    1. You can produce all the background information you want to. You can produce background information until your lips turn blue but those thick-headed dolts with an agenda are going to tune you out no matter what you say.

      1. Right, John. We’ve witnessed so much of that. A TV reporter interviewed a supporter of T. who was in the audience at a rally. This supporter mentioned to the reporter that Mr. Kahn was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. The reporter tried 2 times to correct the supporter. The supporter was very adamant that Mr. Kahn WAS a member. The reporter turned away. He could see what he was dealing with. Again, woe is us!!!

      2. I would refer you to the Facebook Page that the Kahn person had up — the page that described his law firm and what it did — a page that suddenly disappeared mysteriously when all the public attention focused on his associations ….Amazing how the DNC saw the need to highlight their emotionasl little sideshow there by using a Muslim family to make their point … don’t you think?

      3. What about the emotional little sideshow (your words) with the family member killed in Libya? I did not see the BS from the so-called Left about her call at the GOP convention…
