Here's my beef on Khan v Trump:

The Khans are, as has been well noted, the parents of a fallen soldier and that, in our society, affords him some amount if respect.

Why did Trump have to go after Khzir's wife, floating the thought she had nothing to say? Why did he go after their religion, implying that "maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say" then ridiculously backing out up work his usual "A lot of people have said that." Why did Trump bother to compare his having his (admittedly likely difficult and time consuming) job to the death of a soldier in a family. Why bother with the "who wrote that comment?"

He could have simply used a boilerplate response and been done with it but he seems to prefer the path of most resistance.

I'm using the Internet! Yeah!

Exactly do what every other Politician does and say:

Let me explain my immigration plan.
.
Or
With respect to the Khan family this is what I meant...
Or
Simply not go after the silent wife
Or
The Khans have made an enormous sacrifice which I cannot imagine, here is what I've done to help out..
Or
Do what Hillary did and say nothing it blows over fsst

Yes, voted technically not the right word. But Obama was forcefully against the Iraq war from the beginning. Many leading Democrats voted against it.

Yes, it was Dubya's war, but Hillary supported it because that was where the wind was blowing those days, with the hysteria and all among the people, all those dangerous WMDs which were going to finish off the earth and what not.

How about Libya? Even Obama has admitted it was a mistake. And of course Hillary had a leading part in it.

Point is, Hillary stands for nothing. TPP was the "gold standard" of trade deals for her, until it wasn't. And on and on. As an Obama ad once said - Hillary will say anything and change nothing. Except that will she change things - for the worse.

If the father had said all that he did at the nomination of Sanders, it would have been fine. But supporting Hillary? Yikes!

Of all the Presidential aspirants from both parties this time around, which one did you want? Or, if none of them, who other than those who ran did you want? Or was it someone outside of the main parties?

My question is, who would you most like/would have liked to see become our next President, and why?

Obama said the mistake in Libya was not having a solid plan on the ground after Gaddafi was deposed. I don't think Clinton had anything to do with that part of it. That said, I generally agree that Clinton tends to move wherever the political wind blows. It's my biggest problem with her, but not enough for me to even remotely consider not voting for her given who her opponent is.

Clinton does pay lip service to whatever the polls tell her she should. There's no doubt about that. But she is and always has been a dyed in the wool liberal, progressive, left winger, etc. So regardless of what she says and even what she may do when pressed, I don't there's any doubt about where her sentiments lie.

No, the clintons are centrists, and promising everybody something (ie. seen as shifting w/ the winds) is what centrists do.

Trumps a POS.

Any soldier or vet who votes for Trump is a POS as well.

What Trump said is dismissal in my eyes. The president or a presidential candidate should never EVER attack the family of a slain military personal. I bet the military have now lost faith in Trump.

So if the family of a dead solider was calling Obama the N word on a public stage they shouldn't be criticized?

You absolutists on this issue are being stupid.

Khan's went on a public attack against a presidential candidate, using a stupid double standard to attack them. They were banking on Trump not responding, they thought they free to say whatever crap they wanted. They just took a swing at a guy that doesn't take it. The only benefit they have is an sympathetic lmsm that gives them cover because the Khans support the dems. Khan went on tv yesterday saying they want out of the spot light. Here's a hit Khans, don't want the spot light, DONT GO ON TV.


And whats up with this plantation voting mentality the left has? Anyone that doesn't vote for a liberal is a POS? Soldiers die for liberty, but if they vote for the wrong guy, your a POS? fuck you.

I'm pretty sure Mai72 is a veteran, I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure. The Plantation voting needs to be explained better. I don't understand the point.

Khan family still on the news, they're not backing down. Trump has broken out a half hearted compliment for "those families" (gold star?) have paid a high price / given more than their share
"their Son is a hero, I'll keep people like him safe"
Looked like both comments were on Fox but both appeared brief.

I can, can you.

From Kahns DNC speech.

"You have sacrificed nothing and no one." (You meaning trump).

First of all it's Khan, show some fucking respect for the family. Secondly, what does abolition have to do with this? Thirdly, you're a moron. Lay off huffing drumpf's toupee glue.

So what if Mai72 is a vet? Are we going down this path again, that vets cant be criticized?

Do you agree with Mai72 that vet that votes for trump is a POS?

Plantation voting - Almost always applies with liberals - You are black and for republicans, your an uncle tom, a traitor to your race. Now Mai72 wants to apply that logic to soldiers.

Ohhh gosh, some democrat sock puppet family, who is tied into muslim immigration law firms, the saudis, and the same law firm that HillBilly get their taxes done at, that has ties to the Clinton Foundation, with the same Saudi relationships as Huma, gets up on stage with a convenient hajib (pictures of her not wearing one are around), and you want to get all faux outrage when somebody mis spells their name?

You lefties are hilarious . You trip all over yourselves about a guy who has writings establishing his support of Sharia.

https://theconservativetreehouse.co...as-leverage-to-aid-candidate-hillary-clinton/

Yet another false narrative by the media and Clintons. Whats hilarious is that they need to bring ALL of this out, and yet she can barely just poll better than Trump, even with "unskewing" the "skew". Why? Because she actually manages to be more revolting than any candidate in history.

Khan fixed. Feel better?

The family isn't being respectful.

hahahahahahaha. yea, keep fucking that chicken. Family of a fallen vet isn't being respectful.

drumpf plays the strong man, insulting anyone an everyone he wants, but if someone has the temerity to take drumpf to task they are being disrespectful, and you bitch about double standards.
buffoon.

Has anything Kahn said come close to the denigrating things Trump has said about other people/groups?

BTW - The woman who personally blamed Hillary for her son's death at the start of GOP convention was giving interviews on CNN yesterday so get off you double standard high horse.

As opposed to the liberal media which works to forward sock puppet attacks?

Herein lies the problem with people like you. You will only look at one news source.

I consider them all.

One can not simply make this shit up.
You're the one refuting the source rather than the data. Does any regular reporter dig into motivations, backgrounds, associations...etc these days? No they repeat tweets and create topical/emotional handwringing screed.

That website called Ferguson *way* before anybody did. It wasn't even close. While you guys were calling the "hands up dont shoot" narrative true, despite physics, they actually did some thoughtful analysis of where the actual forensic analysis could go.

But who cars about liar eyewitnesses and sock puppets. It's all about your feelers.

Yeah, it is trump stabbing ryan in the back...lol.

calling out man-child Trump for being an embarrassment to humanity is "stabbing him in the back"?

Have you switched to that paint chip diet that is all the rage this season?
