‘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.

The Bushes were "polite".

President Nixon was more than "polite".

The white glove GOPers have been "POLITE" since 1960 and it gets us NOWHERE !

And the funny thing about those who post that, are the first to complain about others with whom they disagree AND they aren't "POLITE" to them at all. LOL

How old are you? The generation would be okay, instead of your actual age.

Tell me that and I'll explain it all to you.

Do you think that full-out anger will do that?
Your D@mn3d straight it will, yes!

Get it straight: ONLY full-on "politically and aurally offensive" mode will work. Get a clue... for a supposed "conservative" with the ability to think... you sure come across as dull in your ability to perceive what the reality is.

This is the place where you take the whip and bludgeon the enemies while you kick over their tables and DRIVE THEM out.

no appetite for bludgeoning the enemy? get out now. or move to Nice, France... the people there are joining militias and national guard to fight these pukes. We better get a clue or prepare to get dead. Islam and baby killers show very little mercy to snowflakes. BE General GD Patton.

this ain't church and it ain't Sunday. Wake up!

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

Pathetic... and weak.

You should go study your marching orders from the DU or Cruzebot crowd...

NoPardons, is right.... again!

"Kahn is one of the leaders of the muslim FIFTH COLUMN here in the USA and wants to bring in LOTS MORE!!

Brilliant observation, and exposes who the media is working for, the enemies of America. The fools who react to these lies arranged and promoted by the enemy --the media-- are the detritus which make the media so powerful! We have three on this very thread who are shilling to defeat Trump and thus elect the evil hillabitch. The sad part is, two of the three are too dull witted to realize whom they are serving with their concern troll routine. It ain't the little cruzboy!
