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.

It turns out that Khan is a very big Democrat operative with extensive ties to the Clintons and their foundation. Nobody in the mainstream media bothered to research this.

It sort of explains why Khan was so dishonest in his smear of Trump.

Ew. You made me click on a Breitbart link.

Do you have a more reputable source, like Al-Jazeera, RT, or The Onion?
 
Khizr Muazzam Khan, is a Muslim Brotherhood agent, working to bring Muslims into the United States. After reading what we discovered so far, it becomes obvious that Khan wanted to ‘trump’ Trump’s Muslim immigration policy of limiting Muslim immigration into the U.S.

Khizr Muazzam Khan graduated in Punjab University Law College, as the New York Times confirms. He specialized in International Trade Law in Saudi Arabia. An interest lawyer for Islamic oil companies Khan wrote a paper, called In Defense of OPEC to defend the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), an intergovernmental oil company consisting of mainly Islamic countries.

But more than this, Khan is a promoter of Islamic Sharia Law in the U.S. He was a co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law (Islamic Sharia). Khan’s fascination with Islamic Sharia stems from his life in Saudi Arabia. During the eighties Khan wrote a paper titled Juristic Classification of Islamic [Sharia] Law. In it he elucidated on the system of Sharia law expressing his reverence for “The Sunnah [the works of Muhammad] — authentic tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).”

All that being said, Trump shouldn't have attacked the man. What he should have said is that his son was over there because Hillary voted for the War and he was on record opposing it.

Do you have specific evidence to the effect that Breitbart reports falsely, or is this just a generic slander you have for any publication with a right wing slant?

Why is that relevant? It doesn't change anything about the narrative.

What are you claiming was dishonest or a smear?

Khan said that Trump wants to ban all Muslim immigration. This is false. Trump has never said he wants to do that. Khan said that he and his son would never have been in the US if Trump were President. This is false.

Oldest liberal trick in the book, when you don't like it discredit it out of hand by claiming the source has no credibility. Yet at the same time back a candidate that is a known, proven, documented liar.

I have seen dozens of cases of false reporting from CNN, NBC, CBS.... but I have never heard of it from Breitbart (they are usually the ones pointing out the lies of the mainstream press). If you have any examples of lies from Breitbart please share.
 
Doesn't this idiot realize Hillary was one of the politicians who sent his son to war. If it had been up to Trump there would have been no Iraq war and his son would most likely still be alive.

The factual things they mentioned.... that Khan wrote a paper in defense of OPEC and, while living in Saudi Arabia, wrote an academic work about Islamic law and acknowledged the work of a Muslim Brotherhood member, and that he works as an immigration lawyer....can be conceded as true.

That he is a Muslim Brotherhood "agent" who primarily brings Muslims into the country, that he is a "plant" in Clinton's campaign, and any speculation about wanting to implement Islamic law in the U.S. is speculation. There is nothing to support it.
 
Khan said that Trump wants to ban all Muslim immigration. This is false. Trump has never said he wants to do that. Khan said that he and his son would never have been in the US if Trump were President. This is false.

So other than the left end of the political spectrum and the biased lame stream media falling all over themselves for this guy, basically swallowing the lies and parroting them and the given talking point ad nauseum.

Anything new here? I'm not thinking so.

:lamo


What is it with the Trumpkins in the last 48 hours? :) Conservatives oppose Trump because we are conservative, dude. And Breitbart has become a a trash site, spitting on its' founders legacy, one step removed from a more politicized version that other Trump-favored publication, The Enquirer.
 
Khizr Muazzam Khan, is a Muslim Brotherhood agent....

“This is the time for us American Muslims to rat out any traitor who walks amongst us. This is high time for Muslims to stand firm [against terrorists]...Among us hides the enemies of the value system of this country. And we need to defend it. And if it means ratting out the traitors who hide behind an American passport, that’s what we need to do.”

Guess who said it?

So you've got nothing.

Most Conservatives don't oppose Trump. The GOP establishment opposes Trump. The GOP establishment in 1980 had the same reaction to Reagan.

I think we are reliving History; Like Carter, Obama is one of the worst president in US history. The state of our economy and the world proves it. If Trump wins like Reagan he will take over the GOP. Trump is a brilliant businessman and like Reagan he will create one of the greatest periods of economic prosperity in US history. Reagan destroyed the USSR by dealing with them from a position of strength, Trump can do the same with Muslim terrorist.

Sorta. Conservatives are split, with some supporting, some not supporting, but voting for in order to oppose Hillary, and some opposing.

Among Self-Identified Conservatives:

Bush in '04 exits - 84%
McCain in '08 - 78%
Romney in '12 -82%
Trump currently polling - 64%​

Astonishingly, 21% already say that they plan to vote for Hillary.

The GOP establishment opposes Trump.

That's laughable. The GOP Establishment has completely bent over to Trump and helped his campaign squash conservative revolt. The person that the GOP establishment hated isn't Trump, it's Cruz (whom they hate, hate, hate).

Trump is nothing like Reagan. He's not a brilliant businessman (in fact, he seems to suck at it, as he has significantly underperformed both the Real Estate Market and even the S&P 500), his economic ideas are a refutation of Reagans (as they were then), and Trump has no clue how to go about destroying Islamist terrorism.
 
I knew it. You are a liberal.

I've been busted. The last decade. All so that now I can put "conservative" on while I criticize Trump, who I knew was going to run, in 2004 when I first started this crap.
 
Khan said that Trump wants to ban all Muslim immigration. This is false. Trump has never said he wants to do that. Khan said that he and his son would never have been in the US if Trump were President. This is false.

If you're going to nitpick what people actually said, Khan did not say that Trump wants to ban al Muslim immigration. His exact words were:
"If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America. Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. He disrespects other minorities, women, judges, even his own party leadership.

He vows to build walls and ban us from this country. Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with our future.[/quote]

Are you saying that Mr. Trump has not called for banning Muslims from the U.S? Now, he's modified and changed and backpedalled, so it's hard to keep track, but he certainly has suggested a ban. And on what basis are you saying that Cpt Khan absolutely would have been admitted? It is Mr. Khan's opinion that his son would not have been admitted under Mr. Trumps restrictions on Muslims.

Khan was correct that Trump has called for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. (regardless of extent), that Trump has shown disrespect to...well...everyone....and that he has called for a wall to be built.

I admit I am in the anyone but Hillary camp, but its really getting hard to vote Trump. It might be Johnson for me.
