Exactly, but that went over some peoples heads including Trump.

If Hillary is responsible for the war in Iraq, isn't the republican party even more responsible for that ware. After all they were in power. Trump is not just one man show (well it seem like he is) but he is part of a party that started the war. So his party is even more at blame

So, this how it happens. Now you will be calling this an attack on your military relatives? Or, on ALL veterans??

It's the run-of-the-mill liberal that is dim-witted. You know, the ones that follow the MSM mantras and don't think for themselves.



Again, there was NO attack. And it was not about their son. Do liberals not get it, or choose to not get it?
There was no berating done. Those who keep repeating that should provide the proof. That "most Americans" (you know most?) or that "many Republicans" have disagreed carries no weight when those politicians who disagree are afraid to admit that he really said nothing wrong. They don't want to land on the wrong side of 'popular opinion' which itself is wrong.
The VFW leadership did not wake up a couple days ago and just make that statement for the fun of it. They were serious. You can be certain they are thinking for themselves. Feel free to disagree if you prefer, but they would not have done so if Trump had not crossed the line. Some people don't want to call a spade a spade when it does not fit their preconceived worldview.

Donald Trump has no one to blame but himself for this incident and for his standing in the polls (trails by 10% now).

In the end, this thread is going to keep going around in circles.
Whether someone else was thinking it doesn't negate that Trump's comments were insulting. He intended to demean her by implying that her religious faith or culture compromised her ability to exercise her free speech.

Their fake outrage over Capt Khan just shows the absolute disdain and disgust they have for the fine men and women serving in the armed forces
Do you agree or disagree with the statement made by the VFW? Or is that also "fake outrage" in your opinion?

Anyone needing to use this many question marks and exclamation marks is not worthy of a response!
Regardless of how you feel about the number of question marks used in the response, the fact remains that they never blamed Trump for the death of their son. His response to Trump was strictly about they way he speaks about Mulsims in America as if they arent really americans.

And a stunt it was! It was discovered that the copy of the Constitution he held up was purchased for him just hours before he gave his speech, which had also been prepared for him hours earlier.

Good luck in finding that..
And if you don't find it, please plan to return here & state that you were misinformed & thus wrong in your accusation.
Then I may rep you for accountability which I admire when people admit their error.
To paraphrase the quote from the old Dragnet show, just the facts please...
French for, I won't accept any source.

Khizr Khan Has Written Extensively On Sharia Law | The Daily Caller
“All other juridical works which have been written during more than thirteen centuries are very rich and indispensable, but they must always be subordinated to the Shari’ah and open to reconsideration by all Muslims.” - Khizr Khan
Will you accept his own words?
