This Khan , muslim activist , is despicable using his son to push his agenda .

So he tells us that he “sacrificed” his son ??!!!

We don’t have the same notion of sacrifice . Does he practice human sacrifices ? Its beyond understanding .


It's consistent with Khan's religion. Remember what John Ashcroft said?
"Islam is a religion in which God requires you to send your son to die for Him. Christianity is a faith in which God sends his Son to die for you."
- Said to Cal Thomas in an interview

You WANT to be wounded or killed in combat by enemy action? Because that is the only way to earn one.

Poorly worded. No one wants to get a Purple Heart.

Mostly, but not completely true. There's John Kerry, who apparently got a band-aid and a Purple Heart. He was in Vietnam, you know.

Yup. ("Trump Intolerant of Blue-Hued Sky -- Says He Will Ban It From LBGTQ Rainbow")

As a matter of priority, the media whores have been ordered by their Dem-onic overlords to negatively target Trump EVERY SINGLE DAY until the election. Will it backfire with a suspicious public?

Media working overtime to blow trivial stuff way out of proportion to distract from the mess that is Hillary.

Using his son AND his wife.

Such a horrible memory and she goes on National TV and looks adoringly at her husband for the camera.

I wonder how many times she has been beaten up by hubby.

No, but all the media will talk about will be his five draft deferments and his comments about always wanting a Purple Heart.

It was awkwardly worded, but I think he meant that he would have liked to serve his country in war.

“Those who love AMERICA knows what TRUMP meant.”

I love America and I don’t have a clue as to what he meant. Again he managed to take a pretty good optic, a great gesture by a Veteran and he wasted it all with a head scratching statement.

I’m sorry, but I can’t understand how Trump’s mind works anymore.

You expressed it far better than I, Proust.

Though perhaps that is to be expected, coming from someone with a screen name such as yours. :)

“he meant that he would have liked to serve his country in war”

That was my first thought, except he got 4 deferments. I imagine if I go to CNN.com that’s exactly what they are saying.

P.S. John Kerry also wanted Purple Heart. In fact he got three of them for two ouchies and a booboo.

Wow, you beat the record for timing on the NOOB/Soros theory. I am neither, just a concerned Trump supporter wondering how he can continue to blow up his own campaign...but you keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

Was Bill a draft dodger?

Who's Bill? HIllary tried to get in the Marines, but they wouldn't take her. She said so. She cold have been the Marine's version of John F. Kerry.

I wish someone would ask these people posting remarks (which I just read) on WaPo if they realize the hatred they are spewing towards this Veteran is far, far worse than anything Trump said about Kahn. The hypocrisy is sickening.

Purple Hearts aren’t given for bravery. They are given to the unlucky ones who were unlucky enough to be killed or injured in combat. It’s not so much an award as it is a symbol of their sacrifice.
