Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's criticism about the Muslim parents of a slain American soldier has generated -- once again -- a backlash within his own party.
Just 100 days from the election, Trump has responded in his standard fashion -- dig in, claim he's being treated unfairly and attack back. But the swift condemnation of Trump's response raises questions about whether this controversy is different from the ones that came before it. It certainly isn't going away - Khizr and Ghazala Khan appeared for a lengthy joint interview on CNN's "New Day" on Monday where Khizr accused Trump of "ignorance and arrogance." Khan also said he's received an outpouring of support for speaking out against the GOP presidential candidate, including from many Republicans. And he warned that Trump's attacks on Muslims are boosting terror recruitment. Khan said it is good Muslims who are the ones who can help stop terror and make American safer. "We are the solution to terrorism," Khan said on CNN Monday. Trump tweeted during the interview that the issue was not the Khans, it was stopping the spread of radical Islamic terrorism.

No...the khan parents dishonor their dead son who was killed by their moozlum friends and in a war hillary the criminal voted for. Also, the worthless khans are connected with moozlum brotherhood and the clintoon criminal foundation.
Why no comment from you?
Trump did not go far enough
re: “Rush is a bit annoying right now - making like Trump is a clueless dolt - didnt see the setup.”
Yes, I was logging into to make a similar comment. I don’t like Rush’s apologetic tone (that’s how I perceive it). Felt my blood pressure rising, so tuned him out for the day. I’ll check back in tomorrow :) DJT has nothing to apologize for. Rush’s acting like McLames comments matter. Trump needs to stick with his instincts that got him this far and not the wrongheaded instancts of the insider handlers which, surprisingly, Rush seems to be telling him to do !?!?
“Did Trump go too far?
Wait. What???? Hasn’t the enemedia already asked that question before? Like twenty-five gazillion times before?
No...
No, Trump did not “go too far.”
Nothing he’s said in this regards is “over the top” in any way. Indeed, what he’s said is a great conversation starter. Highlights problems rampant in Muslim culture.
What??? Of course Trump didn’t go too far...What a stupid question...
No he didn’t. Round two is just about to preview. Let him have it, DJT.
I have a PERSONAL message for the
Muslim father whose son was killed in IRAGAlan West (July 31, 2016)
Obama, Jarrett, Hillary, and their RAT cohorts always go too far; case closed!
Strange, I thought Kahn the paid toad just said the islam has nothing to do with terror?!
To answer the vapid question from CNN - NO, he didn’t.
I want the backstory to Kahn front and center - all of it.
Someone else asked, how many times has Kahn been to the WH. I think that’s a great question, hoping to see an answer to it.
“boosting terror recruitment” = anything that the left disagrees with and wants to bludgeon us over the head with in order to motivate the media and scare the masses into making us quit doing it
That Faggot nightclub in Orlando did as well.
Do not expect the MSM to understand anything.
They are not known for their mental astuteness or clarity, for sure. But their worst failing is an utter lacking of any sense of fairness. They have no interest in objective journalism, even where the subject matter is within the compass of their understanding.
Bingo, but he may not be done yet. As I posted elsewhere:
If he hasnt already done so, it would be interesting for Trump to point out to Khan, via tweet or other public means that according to the Quran, 9:123, if his son, who apparently professed to be a Muslim, is indeed an American hero then at least in his final moments his son became an apostate.
9:123 O Believers, fight [q-t-l] with these disbelievers who are near you, and they should find you firm and stern. (In Sura 9:123, the hypocrites have been merged with the unbelievers, so they are now apostates.)
Then the question is whether the Muslim Khan remains proud of his son?
As a matter of fact, was his son decorated for his final actions, or were those actions so negligent as to suggest he acted like a suicide bomber?
Perhaps Khan is today especially proud of his son because his son died as a dedicated Muslim.
Trump did not go to far. He’s just fine.
Vote Trump 2016
And he should not change.
I think it’s mainly just people that are sick of near universal negative press from virtually every medium, and think “backing off” will make the press “be nice”.
They are just at their wits end, and expressing frustration at Trump. No different that the whole (now forgotten) stuff with that judge.
