Did Trump go too far?
cnn ^

Posted on 08/01/2016 8:35:11 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's criticism about the Muslim parents of a slain American soldier has generated -- once again -- a backlash within his own party.

Just 100 days from the election, Trump has responded in his standard fashion -- dig in, claim he's being treated unfairly and attack back. But the swift condemnation of Trump's response raises questions about whether this controversy is different from the ones that came before it. It certainly isn't going away - Khizr and Ghazala Khan appeared for a lengthy joint interview on CNN's "New Day" on Monday where Khizr accused Trump of "ignorance and arrogance." Khan also said he's received an outpouring of support for speaking out against the GOP presidential candidate, including from many Republicans. And he warned that Trump's attacks on Muslims are boosting terror recruitment. Khan said it is good Muslims who are the ones who can help stop terror and make American safer. "We are the solution to terrorism," Khan said on CNN Monday. Trump tweeted during the interview that the issue was not the Khans, it was stopping the spread of radical Islamic terrorism.

No, and the media, as usual, is operating as the propaganda arm of the Destroy America Rat party. Republicans who now attack trump are enemies, also and should be treated as allies of the Democrats.

Does Hillary continually go to far when she calls the mother of one of her Benghazi victims a liar?

The MSM will still be asking this question while he’s putting his hand on the Bible on Inauguration Day.

He could have been more precise and tactful. Which would have allowed him to dig further.

If it sparked a backlash, it’s not in conservative ranks. And RINOs were never Trump’s friends. So stop trying to gin up some imaginary grass-roots rebellion against Trump. We’re not buying it.

When it comes to telling the truth, our media honors the memory of Dr. Goebbels of the Third Reich and Pravda of the USSR.

The question should be does CNN and the others liars in the media go to far?

TRUMP gets it! This is what WINSTON CHURCHILL declared about Mohammedanism.

TITLE
“Will...the...power of Islam return... the menace of an armed Mohammedan world... the prime enemy of our civilization?...” 1938, Hilaire Belloc

(except)http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs155/1108762609255/archive/1121276027390.html
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!...

The fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog...

Insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live...

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.”

Churchill continued:

“The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities...but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.”

Churchill concluded:

“No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.

It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step;

and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
