‘I Was Just Joking’: Media Apoplectic as Khizr Khan Attack on Donald Trump Goes Down in Flames
Breitbart ^ | 8/1/2016 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 08/01/2016 4:57:15 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Mainstream media figures from the New York Times to the Huffington Post to CNN are apoplectic Monday as their latest attack on Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has crumbled yet again under the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Specifically, the newest line of attack to fall apart is the criticism of Trump over Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father who spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week.

Over the weekend and for the past few days since Khan spoke alongside his wife Ghazala Khan about their son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004, media-wide reporters, editors, producers, and anchors have tried to lay criticism on Trump over the matter. They thought they had a good one, a specific line of attack that pitted Trump against the military—and supposedly showed him as a big meanie racist in the process.

But, as Breitbart News showed on Monday midday, that clearly was not the case. Khizr Khan has all sorts of financial, legal, and political connections to the Clintons through his old law firm, the mega-D.C. firm Hogan Lovells LLP. That firm did Hillary Clinton’s taxes for years, starting when Khan still worked there involved in, according to his own website, matters “firm wide”—back in 2004. It also has represented, for years, the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States. Saudi Arabia, of course, is a Clinton Foundation donor which—along with the mega-bundlers of thousands upon thousands in political donations to both of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2016—plays right into the “Clinton Cash” narrative.

And Khan's wife needs to sit her fat snarling ass down now and be quiet.

Not a problem.
She's used to that.

Sad for that is the truth of living under Islam.

So a reasonable poster makes an example of you, so you self immolate by (falsely) accusing them of being drunk.

Awwwwww! Poor little "nopardons" has someone to back him up.

Did you not see his attacks on "pearlsbeforeswine" or are you two drinking buddies?

Really outstanding analysis! The Rope-a-Dope repeated countless times.

We need this sort of cunning, smarts, and advanced planning in the Oval Office.

I don’t drink at all BUT YOU seem to be obsessed with it and getting drunk on hard liquor too. Ted Cruz bragged about his love of tequila and beer. You speak to others condescendingly sort of like him and like you also have a projection issue that compels you to attribute your own character deficits and bad habits onto others.
Get help.

I wish you could find that information and who said there was no warning. He received the bronze star and the words of warning would be crucial to the events.

It is reported at http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/hsmkhan.htm

that his father was told by the Captain’s commanding officer that the Captain yelled hit the dirt. There are others who worked with him who testify to his integrity. While papa has ties to the Saudis and the captain probably would have worked with papa’s law firm, there are 10 soldiers who would know if there was warning.

could you freepmail me if you find the quote?

Khan has done Hillery’s taxes for years. He is a main go between Saudi Arabia’s money bags and the Clinton Foundation. He’s tied in with the Muslim brotherhood. Breitbart discovered this.

As the info comes out, it becomes clearer and clearer that this was a well-planned setup job.

Breitbart did good work.

It seems to me that it’s slow filtering into the MSM, who are the new #NeverTrump contingent.

I thank that as usual Trump had pre intel on Khan like other pos, he has blown out of the water.

So as usual, he gets a week of free publicity and reality rips the one he targeted.

Remember the Mexican lawyer blow up. Turned out the lawyer was an anchor baby born of Mexican parents besides being a La Raza lawyer.

Yeah, I remember the Mexican. He was a judge!

But, I thought Trump’s side of it took a long time to mature in the public eye. At first it sounded like he was blasting the guy for having Mexican parents. Why didn’t he lead with the really juicy stuff—anchor baby, illegal parents, LaRaza support right away?

Maybe he did, and I missed it, but it seemed to me that it took a while to get to the heart of the matter.

Stop being a weasel !

You've posted that "drunk" crap to me for many years and my rely is always the same. You just believe that it's clever to post the same insane stuff to me, only to get shot down. Bless your heart.
