Mr. Khan disgraced his son by allowing himself to be used as a DNC pawn, and his son as a poster child selling the idea that a Muslim soldiers' service us somehow greater than others. The article speaks for itself.
The DNC found a symphatec immigrant and used him like a $2.00 whore.

This is... amazing. Trump and the GOP invited a grieving mother to sob on the stage about the son she lost... and to blame Hillary Clinton personally, saying she should be in prison for it.
But tissue-skinned Donald goes all PMS if another grieving family talks about their loss and criticizes Trump for ignoring the sacrifice when he demeans his, and their, religion. To Trump, that was a "vicious attack against" him. Having a grief-stricken family call Hillary basically a murderer and scream that she should be in prison for her son's death, hey, in Trumpsville that is A-okay!
Double standard, anyone?
Not a double standard at all...in fact, the two situations are quite different.
In one, the mother outright accuses Hillary of lying to her face...a lie, I might add, that Hillary told numerous times to the entire American public.
In the other, a man displays indignant outrage over a straw man that he directed toward Trump. In reality, the man assigns attitudes to Trump that Trump has never displayed. Furthermore, it is quite likely that this man's biggest problem with Trump is the threat to the man's source of income if Trump defeats Hillary.
Now...for me, personally, I know these two political parties will both play their "gotcha" games. I don't really care. I've already made up my mind who I'm going to vote for and why. I won't change my mind. But when I read stuff from people in this forum that flies in the face of reason and logic, I'm compelled to attempt to set things straight.
what strawman donald trump wants muslims banned/deported from this country so do most republicans. which is disrespectful to every muslim american and muslim soldier in the military
It's hard for you Hillary loyalists to accept the fact that Hillary and her DNC travelers use people as props
While a number of points he makes are legitimate, the majority of the letter is born of CT crap - and when I followed the link to his own website, at the bottom of the letter he wrote, I can understand better why the letter had the tone it has.
While I feel that Mr. Khan and the Democrats are dishonorably using Captain Khan and his personal sacrifice for this country as a political pawn in this election season, I do not blame the parents. I blame the Democrats for their shameful exploitation of a hero's ultimate sacrifice as if he had done so to allow them to use his death and service as a hammer to bash Republicans about the head.
Trump is being shameful in much of his responses to the Khans. Yet what he is doing is no more shameful than what the Democrats, and their advocates in the media, are doing to the memory and service of Captain Khan.
Yet, the OP letter is hyperbolic, in bad taste, and extremely bad form for a former officer in the US military.
There are a few of these such letters posted online now and they all say relatively the same thing..."Mr. Khan, while I respect your son's sacrifice, you should've taken the opportunity to speak out against radical terrorist." Maybe he should have, but since the purpose of him speaking seemed to be to:
1) illustrate that not all Muslims in America have been radicalized by Islamist's;
2) there are Muslim-Americans who have served (and are serving) in our Armed Services; and,
3) to challenge Donald Trump on what he's sacrificed/given back to the country that bore him.
...it's understandable that he limited his talking points to Trump's character and convictions. But in essence, I agree that Mr. Khan could and should've used his platform on stage to challenge American Muslims to denounce radical Islam, as well as, fight back against anti-Muslim rhetoric in America.
The only disgrace here is that of the dimwits who defend a despicable act and embrace a bigoted rant by a moron who in turn IS disgracing himself and the Army.Mr. Khan disgraced his son by allowing himself to be used as a DNC pawn

Bravo, you have managed to achieve a new low.Open letter to Mr. Khan.
Dear Mr. Khan,
How much money do you stand to lose if Mr. Trump becomes President?
Sincerely,
Mycroft
But until now, it looked like the Khans were just Gold Star parents who the big bad Donald Trump attacked. It turns out, however, in addition to being Gold Star parents, the Khans are financially and legally tied deeply to the industry of Muslim migration–and to the government of Saudi Arabia and to the Clintons themselves.

What a wicked Web we weave:

Mr Khan's is connected to the Clinton Foundation, and is an immigration attorney who specializes in getting Muslims to the front of the line.
No, the argument has been about using the parents of the fallen for political gain, which Donald Trump was absolutely doing.Not a double standard at all...in fact, the two situations are quite different.

All these talking points are nothing more that a straw man attack directed at Trump at the behest of the Democratic Party. His [Mr. Khan] motivation is the money he'll lose if Trump becomes President and temporarily restricts Muslim immigration into the US. Mr. Khan makes his livelihood from helping such people get their green cards.
Mr. Khan has dragged his own son's memory through the political mud for the sake of a dollar or 500,000.
So his entire purpose was to walk onstage and state logical fallacies.
Too bad the DNC couldn't find a blind Mr. Khan in wheelchair and his wife in gay colors en mufti to wheel out for extra points.
It's hard for you Hillary loyalists to accept the fact that Hillary and her DNC travelers use people as props, and like a magicians audience, play all on with the fag, straight faced!
Wake, grow up, and don't act horrified like you were born last night. You know exactly what is going on, kiddies.
THE DNC couldn't care less their son is dead carrying out Obama failed policies.
So his entire purpose was to walk onstage and state logical fallacies.
How's this latest snafu working out for Trump?
Have a gander at his poll numbers lately?
Bravo, you have managed to achieve a new low.
Straw man?
You drank the coolaid didn't you
No, the argument has been about using the parents of the fallen for political gain, which Donald Trump was absolutely doing.
And yet, isn't it the Republican Party who generally declares that a person is an island unto himself and should do what's in his own best interest in order to be profitable? Seems to me you're being very hypercritical here simply because the attacker happens to be a Democrat. Still, even if what you say is true - that he's protecting his own business interests, hasn't Donald Trump done the same by virtue of filing for countless bankruptcies to pay less than he owns his former employees/contractors/sub-contractors?
