Khan to Trump: 'Put that Purple Heart back'
CNN Politics ^ | Tue August 2, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer

Posted on 08/03/2016 5:55:09 AM PDT by COBOL2Java

(CNN)Khizr Khan on Tuesday accused Donald Trump of dodging the Vietnam War draft, and said he shouldn't have accepted a Purple Heart given to him at a rally earlier in the day, deeming it the latest sign of his inability to empathize with parents of fallen soldiers.

"You dodged the draft," Khan, a Muslim whose son was slain in the Iraq War, said of Trump to CNN's Anderson Cooper. "Put that Purple Heart back on that person's chest."

A military veteran supporting Trump had gifted the Republican presidential nominee his Purple Heart, prompting Trump to say he "always wanted to get the Purple Heart" and this was "much easier" than serving in combat.

Trump hasn't said anything about this guy in awhile, even in campaign speeches. Its just the media keeping putting him out there.

Let's hope the RATs and the Drive-Bys keep to their ways and overplay their hand. Maybe Khan can write his book and join Cindy in a book signing somewhere...

Trump should respond to this and let us right wing attack dogs have at this ignorant piece of trash.

Khans son would be alive if Trump had been President in 2004. This lying pro Muslim immigration lawyer needs to be deported.

Anything to keep HilLIARy herself off the stage or TV.

The Dick Morris Rule is valid and applies, and they know it. It says any time HilLIARy is out in public her numbers go down.

People just don’t like her. Trump should play this up - make her forced to be on TV all the time to answer back.

I don’t think she has been live anyplace this week at all- not since she cancelled her appearances since no one is showing up.

hey, yo, kahn,
It is a military Vet who decided to gift Trump with a Purple Heart. Why are you attacking the Veteran?

it is more blessed to give than to receive. Trump accepting the Purple Heart has blessed that Vet. Why are you insulting the Veteran?

If Trump were able to serve this Country in the Military, he would have done so gladly and with a smile on his face.

kahn, crawl back into the hole from whence you came from.

Hmm. Looks like Khan and CAIR are on the same, fallible and uninspired, page.

Islam is fraudulent Ba'alshyte concocted by a state-establishing pedophile; and the only "relationship" real Americans should be interested in is CONTRADICTING the associated ERRORS.
 
 


"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;
 
...
 
 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

And Trump’s last tweet on the matter said it all - also a very good line to use whenever it is brought up in an interview (as if that would be possible ;) ) that it was not an issue between him and Mr Khan, it was a question how to protect the US against islamic terrorism (I’m quoting from memory).

-- With the vet's permission, I'd like to see Trump auction the medal and give the proceeds to a wounded vets' organization. --

I think what will happen, and I think this is the best thing to do, is that Trump will hold on to the medal until after he either loses the general election, or is inauguarated. Then he will return the medal to its rightful owner along with a handwritten letter. He might include some frames.

Maybe other vets will reinforce support for Trump and flood him with their medals. It would be a HUGE sacrifice, considering the significance of the medals. But we’re now in a battle of good vs evil, and some might consider it “worth it”.

That could shut Khan’s and the MSM’s pie-holes.

Cindy Khan is just another political whoremaster standing on his dead son’s coffin.

Shame on him.

This is all the moron Trump’s fault. He could have made this go away in 30 seconds, but chose to take the bait. Immature idiot will never be elected. Now the media has the anti-Trump bulldog they always needed.

Mr. Kahn that purple heart was earned by the vet they gave it to Donald Trump

it’s that vets right to give and you have no right to stick your nose in and say what that man can to do with his Purple Heart.

Mr. Kahn that the problem.. you think only YOUR voice should matter you think you’re the only Gold Star Family
