More at the source link. The Hillary Clinton campaign struck gold with the Khan family speaking at the DNC convention. Compare their coverage with that of Benghazi victim mother Pat Smith who spoke at the RNC convention

He had volunteered to help his country, signing up for the ROTC at the University of Virginia.

They used that family to paint a totally false portrait. The number of US muslim soldiers who have died in recent conflicts is miniscule. In fact, more soldiers were killed at Fort Hood by a muslim soldier than then number of muslim US soldiers killed on the battlefield. The soldier in question was killed by a Muslim. Blame them. Don’t dishonestly wave the bloody shirt for political gain, which is what Hillary did.

They struck gold because of Trump’s continuing stupid impulse to shoot from the lip (via twitter) at people instead of at issues

and I say this as a Trump supporter

For godssake Trump!!!!

People loved the pugilist in the primaries but you have 3 months left to convince them you have a grasp on issues and solutions

Stop the namecalling and flippant tweets addressed at others she was a bystander- why even bring her into it

Address issues

Your position on vetting muslims before they emigrate here is common sense, not anything else and stop making it PERSIONAL when the media distorts you, by whatever messenger

STAY ON MESSAGE
You cannot win by engaging the parents of a dead soldier, but you CAN deal with their logic

You owe the people a measured apology for seeming insensitive to their loss even through we all KNOW they are being used by the DNC

But a firm response that your proposed policies honor the legacy of our troops who have died by keeping America safe form the same extremism that cost them their lives in Iraq and elsewhere

Never a good idea to use the death of our soldiers in a political event. Clearly all speakers involved could see the DNC was trying to appeal to all basis. Hence, the moms “killed by police”. Why a mom and dad would subject the memory of their son to political rhetoric, I don’t get. They were either naïve, or....geez I cannot even speak the other.

The time has past for apologies if Mr. Trump wanted to humbly say, their son was a hero and shame that they allowed the DNC to use him for their purpose

I would suggest his response now be, for the sake of their son and all those that sacrificed for the cause of freedom, I am done with the rhetoric and will no longer participate....next question.

The truth is the only sacrifice Hillary has made is the lives of others. She then lied to their families about what got them killed. Today this muzzle bastard is lying to the world and saying islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Damn these lying hypocrite muslim a-holes and to hell with all hypocrite democrat a-holes too.

Ghazala Khan: Trump Criticized My Silence. He Knows Nothing About True Sacrifice.

No one questions the Muslim capacity for true sacrifice - we see on an almost daily basis that they are quite willing to sacrifice their own lives. The problem is that we mostly see this when they sacrifice their own lives to commit terrorist attacks. Mr. and Mrs. Khan's son gave his life for the United States, and I am duly grateful and respect their son's sacrifice, but this does not make the problem of Islamic terrorism and radicalism go away.

I don't know how many Muslims laid down their lives to defend the US this year. I do know how many American lives in San Bernadino and Orlando were taken by Muslims laying down their lives to murder others.

My religion teaches me that all human beings are equal in God’s eyes. Husband and wife are part of each other; you should love and respect each other so you can take care of the family.

Didn't she say she's Muslim. That is clearly not what it taught nor what is practiced in any Muslim nation. Since she's American I am happy to see that's the way they see it in their family but that is not the Muslim custom. This is unarguable.

I don’t think these people are garnering much sympathy by bashing Trump. The only people impressed by their actions are already RATS.

The media of course is salivating at the Muslim icon they are constructing.

But will middle America buy it? I doubt it.

This seems like media and Democrat navel gazing.

For those who have made comments critical of Trump for his remark re. the muslim (shari’a?) lawyer whose son was killed by ANOTHER MUSLIM while serving in the muslim created centuries ole hell hole/abattoir in the Middle East, I – and many other posters – have asked one question: Why didn’t this fellow aim his comments at the fellow muslims now slaughtering other muslims, Christians and Jews all over the world – and, if you’ve been asleep or a demoncrat (but I repeat myself) – now HERE AMONG US?
Oh wait. He was at the demoncrat convention and was under orders to dump on Trump!
never mind.
(If this confuses you, search the definition of “Taqiyya”.)
And as for his pulling out his little Constitution, let me urge all you who see this to visit the site at the link below to fully grasp the contents of ANOTHER book (a BIG ONE) the Quran!

“When Donald Trump is talking about Islam, he is ignorant. If he studied the real Islam and Koran, all the ideas he gets from terrorists would change, because terrorism is a different religion.”

The Koran and Hadith both disagree with you, Mrs. Kahn.

It is clear the “sacrifice” talking points have gone out. The democrats need to be careful with this meme. In all honesty what does sacrifice have to do with anything? Only a tiny minority of Americans have lost someone in combat. All one is going to have to do is turn it back on Hillary What has she sacrificed? The Benghazi dead? Was Chelsea on the front lines?

Nor do the Kahns know anything about true sacrifice. They sacrificed nothing. Their son, a grown man, sacrificed all. I find it offensive that they will claim that they made some sort of sacrifice with regard to their son’s service.

I won’t bother to read what one of Hillary’s campaign flunkies wrote for her.

Photo of these two is splashed across the Atlanta newspapers' website right now. I don't recall any similar photo after the GOP convention. Just angry-looking photos of Trump.

Of course, I will say this beats the photos of Obama and Hillary embracing that they have been running for days on end.
