Am I alone here?

[caww]

IMO This was never about the son at all....that was evident the moment Kahn pushed our Constitution in everyone's face, which Muslims never honor unless they can use it against us.... while he followed with his eyes the teleprompter 'script laid out' for him. Kahns' been exposed for what he is...just another prop the Clinton/Obama machinery is using.

By Comparison this was real and a very touching moment....

Lieutenant Colonel Louis Dorfman approached Trump 'before' the rally and handed him the Purple Heart for a vote of confidence. Trump said it was a great honor to receive the Purple Heart.

Dorfman received the Purple Heart after getting wounded while serving in Iraq in 2007.......Trump jokingly said, “I always wanted a Purple Heart. This was much easier.” Dorfman laughed at the joke.

Dorfman and Trump then stood up on stage to pose for photos with Trump and the two mixed short words.....Trump said he asked Dorfman if he would like to share a few words on stage.....“He goes, No sir, I’d like you to just keep saying what you’re saying.’

Amazing. It’s amazing. What an honor,” Trump said.

It's crappy one way or the other:

A survey of more than 2,000 adults released on Sunday showed that trust in the media has dipped to dramatically low levels. About 52 percent of respondents said they have “some confidence” in the press, while 41 percent said they have “hardly any confidence.”

The title of the article is:"Only 6% of Americans trust the media – survey"

This story is good for Trump. Did you hear about Kahn wiping his web page, except plenty of people snapped it before he did?

The D’s are really poor at picking their heroes.

[kiryandil]

A well-laid trap that Trump fell into by over-Tweeting every thought that pops in his mind. Kahn is a fraud, but he is one of those ‘protected class faux victims’ that the DNC likes to trot out. Yes, he lost his son, and that is tragic, but the father is a Shari’a-pushing, immigration-mill attorney that is NOT a good American.

I'm not sure about that.

This is THE attack of the Media Death Star.

They've fired up their main laser cannon weapon, and they think they've FINALLY got Trump.

They've also brought to bear numerous lesser gun ports on the Trump target [just read the list of lesser attacks on the main FR page].

I'm thinking that Trump has planned for this, though.

[Cobra64]

Yup. And the usual FR attention seekers (not you MNDude) keep posting this crap.

[Cobra64]

Yeah, and we’re subjected to it with the non-stop, self perpetuating, threads posted here on the topic. We seem to like getting punched in the face a dozen times a day.

[HotHunt]

You listen to the media? There's your problem. My advice, don't watch the media that feeds you the anti-Trump, pro-Khans crap. Life will be much easier to take.

I'm retired and could be using all my free time to get thoroughly absorbed in politics. But, instead, I live on a beef cattle farm in rural Florida. I have lots of chores and projects to attend to on a daily basis. I don't even turn the TV on until 8 or 9 at night and even then, it is to watch a movie or some other educational channel. I don't read the newspaper or watch local news or national news. I get my information from the internet and make-up my own mind about what's REALLY going on out there. FreeRepublic is my first choice.

I picked my guy to vote for last summer and unless he dies or drops out between now and November, I will vote for him, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE LIBERAL MEDIA, LEFTIST DEMOCRATS OR GOP RHINOS TRY TO CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE, with these daily assaults on him and his character and abilities.

I like Trump, warts and all. Do I agree with his every utterance or move? Absolutely not, but how is that different from any other candidate to come along in the last four decades? I like him because he is different. I like him because he is not polished and predictable. I like him because he's not afraid to lambast the Left, the propaganda media or his own eGOP RINOs out loud and in public (it's about time someone said what needs to be said). I like him because every arm-chair quarterback out there is telling me that he's not qualified, doesn't have the temperament, is not prepared, etc., etc., etc, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada.

It is because of all of this relentless, daily sniping and attacks from the press, that I know I have picked the right guy to do the job that needs to be done in DC. He may not be the gender the media wants but he will get the job done.

[CodeToad]

The Khan thing is how Trump has been getting free airtime and advertising. I say let the liberal media continue their stupidity.

[Pollard]

I think this alinsky stunt by the media is only going to backfire and hurt their own credibility and I think Trump knows this. Any sane person is rolling their eyes and changing the channel every time they hear about this. The MSM has gone way overboard and normal people recognize this.

[Chgogal]

Sick of it. MSM is over playing Khan which is good for Trump.

BTW, can you quote me the Trump attack words?

[MNDude]

“BTW, can you quote me the Trump attack words?”

I think he only said “why won’t he let his wife talk?”

[Chgogal]

Exactly!

All this fuss about “why won’t he let his wife talk?”

This will backfire.

[Stentor]

...who has troops line up for inspection OUTSIDE the front gate while in enemy territory?

[minnesota_bound]

They cannot talk about Hillary Clinton as she is a criminal so they invent issues such as Khan and “Is Trump crazy” to avoid discussing the criminal.

[sergeantdave]

“but I’m getting a little tired hearing about Kahn.”

It’s the elitist pigs oinking to each other thru the media. Nothing to be alarmed about. Make yourself a bacon sandwich.

[AFreeBird]

The media don’t have many straws to grasp. They’ll run this particular horse into the ground until something else comes up.

They’re part of the elite, and they don’t want their gravytrain to stop anymore than the pols.

[sergeantdave]

You’ve over-analyzed the situation by a country mile. The attacks by Kahn and Obuma are unmistakable indicators of desperation by the rats. The rats have used up their ammo. The rats are predictable and are going thru their attack playbook page-by-page. Next, I fully expect the rats to dig up some hooker to claim sexual harassment by Trump 20 years ago. Watch and see.

[GBA]

Trump is so well known that their ammo only works if it plays to some preconceived negative opinion people already have about Trump.

Unless a politician has made him/herself out to be a Christian saint, sexcapades just aren't the political negative they used to be. None the less, if there's something like that out there or not, I'm sure you're right about them trying to use it.

To me, Trump being "a loose cannon who could say or do anything" and thus "Trump is unfit for office" is already something of a preconceived opinion people have.

To his credit and success, Trump has turned this trait around on them and used it to his advantage by hitting them with it right square in their PC.

Then they double over in pain and we double over laughing in amazement!

But...if they can turn that around on Trump and use his own words and acts against him and play it to people's fears, thus turning his big weapon into just as big of a liability, then they've hit him in the one place where it hurts him: his perceived competence.

A weapon such as a Kahn doesn't have to be 100% effective to be a very successful weapon against Trump. It only has to do damage they can exploit.

As it is, I think you're right that if the demonrats aren't desperate now, they will be soon.

I tend to believe that only Trump can beat Trump if the election is fair.

[GBA]

Dang. "Kahn" should have been spelled Khan.

My apologies for this and the rest of my many spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes. Not for lack of trying, but that stuff just didn't take with me. Ever.
