Earlier this week, Trump said something inappropriate about Gold Star mother Ghazala Khan. Her son, Army Captain Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq back in 2004, but was silent when she and her husband, Khizr, briefly spoke at the Democratic National Convention. Khizr torched Trump in his address, which prompted the unseemly response from the Republican nominee. Khizr said that Trump knows nothing of sacrifice, lacks empathy, and is ignorant of the U.S. Constitution.
Okay—so Trump’s remarks, which arguably were touching upon the whole Islamic submission of women angle, was terrible. Yet, let’s not forget that Hillary Clinton also criticized a Gold Star mother. During the Democratic debate on March 9, Clinton pretty much called Patricia Smith, mother of slain U.S. Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, a liar....

This is all well and good.
But why are the fathers of the fallen not recognized? Do they not also suffer loss? Dad doesn’t also grieve with seemingly endless pain and anguish?
Seems callous to me.
I keep hearing about how “bereaved” this Muzzie father is. After watching both his and Smith’s speeches, it appears to me that Smith is the one who is bereaved about losing her son. The Khan Man appears to be using his son’s death to get himself a cushy job on some Federal bench or maybe even SCOTUS. I don’t trust the black-hearted bastard.
Clinton On Benghazi Mother: She May Not Fully Recall What I Told Them About The Video

You kiddin’... right..?
I think it’s telling, that the author called Trump’s statement “terrible”, but never tells the reader what Trump said; so I will. Trump said, “I want the mother to speak.” He said that to remind all of us that under Shariah law, women are not allowed an opinion.
They are property; chattels; owned; and have no more standing or rights than livestock or lumber. Trump always addresses the basic crux of a situation. Most people; especially commie lib media types, do not have the honesty nor the common sense; nor probably even the desire to understand it.
You know what. It is what it is. It was never gonna be a fair election and we knew that.
This guy Assange is said to be releasing emails that prove the fix was in. That will help us greatly.
If it is in fact stolen from us, well then we have some major decisions to make.
Well, I’ve already made mine. She could NEVER be my president and i would actively undermine her, even if it meant prison.
My nephews and nieces are worth it. Not leaving them this mess.
I dont have kids, so I cant begin to imagine how much more parents would feel.
I have a two blue star flag I received when both my children were serving in Iraqi Freedom.
‘Okay—so Trump’s remarks, which arguably were touching upon the whole Islamic submission of women angle, was terrible’
From the article and opined everywhere, the GOP is the party of caveats. The Democrats don’t caveat and capitulate to Hillary’s or Democrats attacks or defense. This to me is a weakness in the party that Trump doesn’t have. There is such a widespread fear of the media and it’s refreshing that the party’s new leader hasn’t fallen trap.
This is why this year’s election is going to be very important. Plus also the anti-voter fraud organizations are going to be very, very busy this year as well.
Because if this peaceful movement does is not successful, then any future movement will not be peaceful.
Are we entirely sure that the woman with Khan at the DNC was the Soldier’s mother? Or was she just Khan’s wife?
It’s OK...
Democrats are allowed to say things like this without fear of penalty. Just ask anyone in the mainstream media that wants to remain employed about this!
Yes, the attack on Mrs. Khan was stupid, as thew writer of the article states. But that wasn’t the stupidest part of Trump’s response. It was the staggeringly tone-deaf equivalence he made between the loss of a son in combat to his own supposed sacrifices running a business.
You don’t think that the campaign can make even worse still? Yesterday Scottie Nell Hughes, a spokeswoman, was on CNN yammering how Trump’s business “sacrifice” was somehow real because, in her words, “it cost him two marriages.”
Look, we all agree that the main thrust of his response was probably his emphasis on serious immigration control — but it is his indiscipline and his second-rate handlers that let him stumble into these quagmires again and again with imprecise language. This is the fourth day that an over-eager media is focusing on this. Unlike some I don’t think all publicity is good publicity.

Dad is a lawyer for Saudi Oil.
Not my point.
I’m referring to post #5, the US Army GoldStar Mothers in general.
Maybe you can provide an answer to my post in light of that.
Thank you for the explanation! I honestly did not know what that term meant.
