‘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.

Trump could have honored the son while dissing the father.

“Trump could have honored the son while dissing the father”

That is what he actually did. The media chopped all that out.

their kid DIED fighting for America.

Their kid more likely died in the effort pushed by the imams to get Jihadi youth experienced in military ways and combat. The imams urge young men to join the military for just those reasons because that training willbe beneficial in later stages of the Jihad in America.

A personal attack on me, calling me stupid, isn’t “facts about me.”

Anyway, I hope your BP is up, and goodbye.

So, on Monday, Rush was talking about Donald being set up. But what if Trump had info on the Khans?

What if Trump set up, the set up?

I’m not saying that’s what went down. It might just have turned out that way.

But then again... Donald has shown himself to be a cunning adversary.

What the hell?
Are we a nation of subversive Muslims now that we should honor them even more?

The facts speak for themselves for anybody who can read the daily news and see the images for themselves.

There is nothing peaceful, loving, tolerant, or good about Islam.

People who claim otherwise are fools.

MSM is frantic. They must have reason to fear that Lying Hillary is likely to lose.

Now that you got your spanking of the truth, I want to see you write about how you’re sorry about how wrong you were.

Thanks nopardons!

I actually pick up the phone and query the news outlets when i see misreporting. I stay calm and polite but pointed.

It is easy to get through to the newsrooms and get a reporter. It is just a little push back. I usually end with a line something like, this is why you are no longer trusted or taken seriously and that should bother you.

Trump didn't though. He was blindsided by this because the Dems are going all out to defeat him.

If you listen to Rush (I no longer do, I read the transcripts afterwards and listen to Andrew Malkow on Sirius Patriot 125 between 11-2pm, he is FAR better) he gave Trump a bit of advice.

All Trump asked was how come the wife didnt have anything to say..that is ALL..he didnt say one negative thing about the son or the family..just asked a simple question and then the media goes with “Trump attacks fallen soldier” PLEASE..I think calling the mother of a HERO a LIAR on TV over and over again is what is truly despicable but hey that was Hillary Clinton gotta protect the queen

Long dull story...but in the end, Trump wins again because he does his homework.

As an aside, I watched Greta a short while ago and she was whining about how Gold Star Families should be off limits.

Really?

When Gold Star Families are trotted out by Dem operatives to smear (unfairly, I might add) an opponent, should they still be "off limits"?

I’m still pissed that the Clintoons and their commie lib ‘RATS are out there sobbing their hearts out over the death of a Muslin soldier but four white guys at Benghanzi? No big deal. Ridicule and trash THEIR families.
