‘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.

Kahn is a RAT insider. He’s been on MSNBC every night, being fellated by Tingles Matthews.

Just because Freepers and Breitbart exposed this fraud don’t think for one minute that the media will forget about it. No one will mention his connections to Hillary Clinton. For two days I’ve emailed and tweeted CNN, Fox, MSNBC and every other media outlet I can think of and not a one has ran with the Breitbard story, or Shoebat story. I would be willing to bet that CNN’s lead story tomorrow morning will be the same old garbage.

Well your point is clearly the best on this topic. It would have been pure genius had Trump used this logic. I think Trump failed in this exchange, suggesting the mother isn’t allowed to speak because of Islamic control was idiotic. EVERY mother knows how difficult it would be to speak about their dead son in a public forum and EVERY mother will give her the benefit of doubt, not DT.

My dad used to say to my sister “You can fall in a pile of sh!t and come out smelling like a rose.” And she could, too.
Trump has some of that blessing about him during this campaign.

The media is as crooked as Hillary.


They provide the cover for all her many crimes and pimples.

I've never felt like correcting a drunk poster before, but you ran your mouth off at one of our finest FReepers, Pearls Before Swine! Disagree all you want, but your vicious ad hominem attack reflects very poorly on your character, that's why I figured you'd had too much to drink. When you come to your senses, may I humbly offer the advice that you think twice before aiming your rage below the belt of a fellow Freeper.

I don't "drink" ergo, I am NOT drunk.

Neither do I do ANY illegal substances nor overdo medicines.

You're a disgrace, assuming things about another poster, who happened to be CORRECT, yet the one you're standing up for was not only wrong, but "stupid" when it came to the topic.

Very late to the thread; busybody and you can take whatever "advice" you have for me and shove it where the sun don't shine. Now bugger off and MYOB!

I know you’ve been a member as long as myself on Free Republic. But there is something new and nasty in the way you speak to others, your tone is arrogant like you think you own the world. Why are you so angry at people who stand with you?

I've been here two years longer than you, posting; three counting the time I just read FR.

You obviously aren't at all familiar with me nor my posting history. I don't change ! You only imagine I have, because I took after your BFF, because he didn't know any FACTS.

If you had paid any attention, at all, to this thread, you would have seen that by the end, with his eyes opened, he agreed with me.

I hate stupidity and don't react well to it. You don't like my "tone"? LOL...I bet you have said that, many times over, about Trump too and no, I didn't "get it" from him; nor am I copying him either.

You need to pull back your horns; you're the one who called me a "DRUNK", just because an old enemy of mine, here, TROLLED me and posted that to me. And YOU have the unmitigated gall to talk about me being "angry", take umbrage about my "tone" and call ME "arrogant. Look to your own words, your own "tone", and then back off !

Khan is a lawyer, Muslim and a democrat.

What else do we need to know about him?

Exactly right MIA, the volume of people tuning out of this idiotic lyin muzzie and the clinton news cabal, is staggering.

People already made up their minds and I believe that ever annoying mushy middle morons, are getting sick to death of seeing the muzzie and hearing his juvenile commentary.

I’m so thankful I stayed off here today, just skimming threads and I see the bots are out in full force! So much concern and worry...bwahahaha

Someone unleashed the flying monkeys.

The trolls of every variety crawled out from 'neath their slimy rocks today/night and quite a few stupid vanity threads were pulled as well.

I guess somebody blew a dog whistle and/or paid some posters off.

That would have been enough, especially now that we know Khan has high level Dem connections and is a Muslim immigration lawyer.

Isn't it lovely that Hillary's Clinton Criminal Enterprises, Inc., were not smart enough to figure out that this exploitation of "a crises begging not to go to waste" would blow up in their faces?

They actually never imagined that this Muslim Mass Murdering agent could not be found out?

How dumb and arrogant muslims are is not surprising, but this stretches credulity.

Hillary's ugly fingerprints are all over this fiasco, thank goodness.

Popcorn supplier stocks must be going through the roof!

But WE have to spread this news, because even many here didn’t know about it earlier and gave those of us who did, a hard time.
