Ann Coulter: The Wrath of Khan

Breitbart ^ | August 3, 2016 | Ann Coulter

[maggief]

Khizr Khan, the Muslim “Gold Star Father” who harangued Americans at the Democratic National Convention, with a mute, hijab-wearing wife at his side, is just another in a long string of human shields liberals send out to defend their heinous policies. The “Jersey Girls” were the classic example, first described in that magnificent book Godless: The Church of Liberalism.

In order to shut down a debate they’re losing, Democrats find victims to make their arguments for them, pre-empting counter-argument by droning on about the suffering of their victim-spokesperson. Alternative opinions must be preceded by proof that the speaker has “sacrificed” more than someone who lost a child, a husband, or whatever.

Khan’s argument, delivered angrily and in a thick Pakistani accent at the DNC, is that “our” Constitution requires us to continue the nonstop importation of Muslims.

If the U.S. Constitution required us to admit more than 100,000 Muslims a year — as we do — we’d already be living in Pakistan, and Khan wouldn’t have had to move to get that nice feeling of home. So the “argument” part of Khan’s point is gibberish.

Luckily, Khan had Part Two: His son died in Iraq, whereas Donald Trump does not have a son who died in Iraq, so he can’t say anything.

Yes, a candidate for president of the United States is supposed to be prohibited from discussing a dangerous immigration program because Khan’s son was one of fourteen (14!) Muslim servicemen killed by other Muslims in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s why we’re obligated to import yet more Muslims – including, undoubtedly, some just like the ones who killed his son. Q.E.D.!

If you think that doesn’t make any sense, keep your yap shut, unless you lost a child in Iraq, too.

What is the meaning of Gold Star?

[Sybeck1]

Child killed in combat

[Bratch]

[VerySadAmerican]

I believe it started in WWII. If a person was killed a Gold Star was hung in the window of the parents.

[Lera]

Gold Star parents are parents who lost a child in combat.

[rdcbn]

It seems that just about the time I am having reservations about electing Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton , the establishment Republicans and the media pull some phony baloney, dirty trick like they did using this Khan, Clinton/Muslim Brotherhood operative, to pull a made up Trump character assassination scam to remind me exactly why it imperative to elect Donald Trump as President in 2016

[avenir]

Ann nailed this one.

[Tzimisce]

There is no right to immigrate.

[Brian Griffin]

Mrs. Clinton, does the treatment of Muslim women in the Muslim home need to be improved?

Mrs. Clinton, are Muslim women being emotionally and economically smothered by their well-meaning Muslim husbands?

Mr. Khan, is Mr. Bill Clinton an infidel?

[apocalypto]

Of course not. A country has every right decided who, if anybody, to admit. btw, President Carter blocked temporarily Iranians from entering.

[Rome2000]

That Khan is a loudmouth pussy who got his ass handed to him by Trump and is now headed for the tall grass.

FU KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Huck]

Reservations? Get a hold of yourself.

TRUMP 2016 WIN WIN WIN

[Bratch]

Evidently, some Gold Star parents are more respectable than others.

Here’s How Major Media Outlets Reacted to Pat Smith’s RNC Speech Compared to Khizr Khan’s DNC Speech

Over the past couple of weeks, Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, spoke at the Republican National Convention, while Khizr Khan, who lost his soldier son in the Iraq War, spoke at the Democratic National Convention.

As The Daily Caller points out, the media reported on both, but — in many cases — in different ways.

Here’s some of the coverage of Pat Smith’s appearance:

 

• MSNBC: RNC manipulates the pain of a grieving mother for partisan gain
• Politifact: Checking Patricia Smith’s claims about Clinton and Benghazi
• Chris Matthews, MSNBC:  “Wrong to lie about Hillary Clinton;” GOP “Ruined their evening with this”
• Wall Street Journal: None
• Chicago Tribune: When the ‘blame Hillary’ crowd goes too far
• New York Daily News: Benghazi victim’s mother Patricia Smith gives tearful RNC speech
• CBS News: Benghazi mom gives emotional speech during GOP convention
• Huffington Post: GOP Convention Speakers Declare Everything Is Awful, Then Go On To Prove It
• Slate Magazine: Melania Trump was bad; all the other speakers were terrifying.
• The Blaze: GQ Writer Apologizes for Sick Tweet About Mother of Slain Benghazi Hero
• Business Insider: None
• New York Times: Republican Convention Speeches on Day 1: What You Missed and Our Fact Checks
• The San Diego Union-Tribune: Benghazi victim’s mother takes national stage
• NBC’s Chuck Todd: Benghazi issue “cheap unity” for “lowest common denominator”
• Washington Post: GOP convention begins with tears — and the strongest possible charge against Hillary Clinton
• Fox News: Mainstream media’s double standard: Khizr Khan receives 40 times more coverage than Pat Smith on ABC, CBS, NBC

Here’s some of the coverage of Khizr Khan’s remarks:

• MSNBC: Khizr Khan’s words won’t soon be forgotten
• Politifact: None
• Chris Matthews, MSNBC: “Welcome to Hard Ball”
• Wall Street Journal: Among Democratic Convention Standouts: The Quiet Dignity of Khizr Khan
• Chicago Tribune: Readers react: Donald Trump’s response to DNC speaker Khizr Khan
• New York Daily News: SEE IT: Father of slain Muslim American war hero has a message for Donald Trump
• CBS News: Muslim father of fallen soldier slams Donald Trump at Democratic convention
• Huffington Post: Fox News Didn’t Air That Amazing Speech By The Father Of A Fallen Muslim Soldier
• Slate Magazine: Khizr M. Khan’s Address to the DNC Was His Own
• The Blaze: Father of Fallen Muslim Soldier Skewers Trump in DNC Speech: ‘Have You Even Read the Constitution?’
• Business Insider: I rewatched Khizr Khan’s speech – and it made me weep for our country
• New York Times: In Tribute to Son, Khizr Khan Offered Citizenship Lesson at Convention
• The San Diego Union-Tribune: Donald Trump, read this Muslim soldier’s father’s speech
• NBC’s Chuck Todd: “Mr. Khan, thanks for coming in and sharing your story.”
• Washington Post: The father of Muslim soldier killed in action just delivered a brutal repudiation of Donald Trump
• Fox News: Trump criticized for comments on Muslim mother of fallen US soldier

Both Khan’s and Smith’s speeches aired live on CNN, MSNBC, and C-SPAN. The Media Research Center measured the reaction by major media to the speeches and found the Khansreceived 50 times more after-speech coverage than Pat Smith.

Additionally, GOP candidate Donald Trump’s response to — and subsequent back-and-forth with — the Khans has ignited a flurry of talking points on TV and online.

My grandparents had one, small rectangular banner about the size of 2-3 washcloths with a red & blue border and white background for the gold star.

They even had an organization back in those days called Gold Star Mothers. It was not just a mutual support group, but they wrote cards and put together care packages for other people in the service.

They didn't use it as a club to promote their personal politics and business interests.

[Brian Griffin]

Trump is for the US and us.

Hillary is for herself.

[ColdOne]

Thank you for info.

[waterhill]

I thought that Kahn’s son was in a non combat role as Captain and was inspecting a checkpoint at the sametime a jihadi detonated himself. That is not combat.

[ichabod1]

Blue star for each son in the service, gold star for any that died in service.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Khan is just another Clinton operative...he will disappear as fast as he appeared when the DNC is done with him...They will move on to some other victim. Clinton scams will mutiply as the weeks roll on to November. We must brace ourselves and defeat this enemy!
