In defense of Trump in his tussle with the ‘Gold Star’ Khan family

Ambush: Democrats and their absolute moral authority

Something important is being missed in never-ending saturation coverage of Donald Trump’s rather modest war of words with the Khan family. The storyline is so perfect for the liberal media - horrible Republican nominee insults parents of dead servicemen - it’s rather astonishing how few recognize what an ambush this whole thing was.

It’s long been a Democrat tactic to hide behind the skirts of people they declare to have “absolute moral authority,” meaning that they can never be criticized for anything no matter what they say or do. You will remember this was the status bestowed upon insane Bush critic Cindy Sheehan. Because her son had died in the war, she had “absolute moral authority” to say anything she wanted about Bush - no matter how unhinged or divorced from reality. And that made her extremely useful to Democrats, who preferred not to personally impugn the war effort when they could get the mother of a dead soldier to do it for them

She could be a ‘Cindy Sheehan’ for our side- except with honesty and dignity because HilLIARy is the one directly responsible for getting her son killed

Unlike Sheehan, who was a tool for those who wanted to blame Bush, because they didn’t like the war.

Ambush AND media pile on, almost orchestrated if not for the fact that journalists now want to be pro Hillary anti Trump activists 24/7.

This is the tactics the criminal Democrat enterprise uses to spew their smears against the right. They hide behind minorities, gender, innocents—you name it. This is the same way a bank robber hides behind a hostage. It is the same game. It is the playbook of the mob, the Alinsky smear machine. It is time to expose them for what they are.

Are there no Gold Star parents out there that will defend Trump?

Yeah! There was a mother of a soldier who died at BENGHAZI;
but she was ridiculed and belittled by HILLARY’S minions.
