Khan’s fifteen minutes of fame should have ended about a week ago. But he keeps piping up and Trump continues to respond so the may never go away.

[just me]

Draft dodger,I wonder what does he say about Hillary’s husband.

[HLPhat]

>>He’s this election’s Cindy Sheehan

I wonder if he's got a T-shirt like the one this CAIR supporter is wearing?

And I agree with Trump. I'd like to hear Kahn's wife's opinion on that whole "easy to use and operate" thing, too.... if she's allowed to have one.

[TigerClaws]

CNN and the rest of the MSM are coordinating their message openly.

They’ve got five attack point for today.

The convention showed them people hate Hillary. So now it’s all go after Trump. Keep the voters home and steal it with street money in November.

[COBOL2Java]

Now I’m beginning to see that the media would have used Khan anyway, whether Trump had responded or not, in this disgusting fashion to hit him on all things military.

---

Bingo. Khan is a tool (I use that term in the most demeaning sense). The Hillary! campaign would have used him in this way whether Trump had responded or ignored him.

[Buttons12]

Fighting Trump so Hillary won’t have to.
I hope Trump will ignore this pest.

[PghBaldy]

This is about the same thing Obama’s tantrum yesterday was about - they are upset Trump has suggested banning/delaying further muslim invaders from coming here. It is personal with BO & Khan.

[Rebelbase]

“Khan is nobody. Can we please focus on defeating Hillary?”

Agree. This Khan business is a Hillary campaign rabbit trail to re-direct the narrative from Hillary’s failures to Trump’s “unfitness” to be Pres.

[just me]

John Kerry ring a bell?

[rbg81]

I think Khan is definitely an Agent for Hillary. But I also groaned when Trump accepted that Purple Heart. The optics of that were horrible. He should have said thanks but no thanks. I can’t accept what I didn’t earn.

[nightmarewhileawake]

This khan character is driving a wedge.
He only hardens our resolve for Trump all the way to the White House.

[ScaniaBoy]

I haven’t seen or heard any response from Trump re this little twit for the last couple of days. Nothing on twitter, nothing in the speeches I’ve listened to. What have I missed?

However, you are correct. Trump should treat this man with dignified silence, and leave it to others to dig up and publish relevant information.

[Aaron0617]

It’s been shown in numerous articles now that this Khan character is a self-serving slime ball and an utter phony.

What does Khan thinks of how Trump eats KFC chicken? Are we going to be hearing from this guy every day 'til election?

I see on that CNN site, that Khan said McCain was a hero to his son. Is that due to Trump not supporting McCain's reelection?

[jetson]

Let’s spell his name correctly and that is CON.

You haven't missed anything. Trump hasn't said anything about this guy in awhile, even in campaign speeches. Its just the media keeping putting him out there.

This dude’s turning into the gift that just keeps giving

Point well taken - as always, hindsight is 20/20 vision, eh? :-/

[sevinufnine]

“He should have said thanks but no thanks. I can’t accept what I didn’t earn.”

I’m not so sure because that may have hurt the feelings or offended the vet. I am sure it meant a lot to give it to Trump and the decision to do so wasn’t made lightly.

[onona]

Didn’t he just say yesterday he wanted to leave the limelight?

That was code for, "my rate just quadrupled, dems"
