‘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.

Grow a thicker skin; pet. I hate stupidity and refuse to put up with it.

At least I caught your attention and began to make to wonder; even a bit, so that you were then open to the other posts that contained links. LOL

Don’t give yourself too much credit.

Donald still has an MSM problem, regardless of his true intentions. Don’t you realize that what matters isn’t what he thinks or feels, it’s how it comes across to the few who haven’t made up their minds and are watching MSM? Dumping on me because you’re enthusiastic or excited doesn’t reach them.

Boy and how. I won’t go into tonight’s NBC news’s reporting of the scrap.

polite = “politically correct”
polite = “non offensive to muslims, and special interest groups”
polite = “words spoken so as NOT to offend others”

Do some still fail to realize that polite and “politically” correct, are from the same root word?
Donald told us that the day of political correctness is over with. No more “mr nice american”!!!

If we don’t get IMPOLITE, we are going to be speaking arabic by the end of Hillary’s first term. Get over your personal sensitivities, and go on the offensive.
BE General “GD” Patton... its the only thing the snowflakes get. Full frontal... assault to their snowflake political correctness.

not correct at all... you need a new paradigm. Truthfully, he has the MSM by the balls, what tiny ones they have left. These jerks kowtowed to the liar hillary... they take her talking points via email. They are addicted to that diseased "V" that they worship. They are done with and are missing their own balls, to win the "V" vote.

go big or go home.

There’s no need to be unnecessarily impolite to people who are of basically the same persuasion, is there?

Sarasota, profdeming,

Cite your sources.

Otherwise, don’t bother posting.

Unless you meant to be sarcastic, in which case, put the /s at the end of your posts.

Thought there were articles setting forth Khan’s connection withe the Muslim Brotherhood. That his law firm processes Muslim immigrants.

yes there is.. get over your “please be polite Donald” routine.
Next 100 days is brutal, viscous and offensive war of “offense” or defeat. Get over it.

WE are NOT CONCERNED about the Donald’s tone or offensiveness thereof. PERIOD. YOU may be.

No mercy and no surrender and no compromise for “sensitivities” or you better study up on your new primary languages: Arabic and .”Iranian” dialects.

People with that attitude would have lost the crusades and caused Europe to fall... just like they are doing NOW. WAKE the H up, America.

“viscous”, huh?

The issue isn’t how enthusiastic we are, it’s what is necessary to convince the weak minded. Do you think that full-out anger will do that?

Sure, it will rally the base, and I hope it does enough to get the turnout we need, but it would be nice to scoop up some of the mush-minded. They need more polite persuasion, IMHO.

What evidence do you have that “Trump is collapsing in the polls?” Every poll I’ve seen, shows him leading Hillary Clinton. By the way, he hasn’t said anything bad about any of the Khans, so he doesn’t have to shut his mouth.
