Yeah! That's totally possible! After all, who ever heard of the Veterans of Foreign Wars standing up for a veteran who died in a foreign war???

What does that have to do with Trump? He called Captain Khan a hero..why is the VFW needing to "stand up" to Trump for that?

You Trump folks are basically beating a dead horse on this one.

The damage and fallout to Trump has been considerable. Can't walk this one back.

Could have been avoidable if Trump didn't have the knee jerk tendency to attack anyone and everyone.

Your source "scholars", Mr. Gaffney & the author at The Daily Caller have embarrassed themselves in their writings & interpretations of Mr. Khan's studies. Apparently they only made cursory research & were unable to understand the jist of his academic/scholarly writings.

It's most unfortunate that they were unable to tell the difference between pure advocacy of Sharia law on one hand versus the study & discussion of the origins of Sharia law on the other hand. There's a huge difference.
To be blunt, Frank Gaffney is a notorious Islamophobe. Basically Pamela Geller with a fancy pedigree.

Khan allowed the Clinton campaign to exploit his family's personal tragedy as a weapon against her political adversary. Although he seems to have a few issues of his own.

But I also don't believe Khan should consider Hillary Clinton as a healer LOL what a joke
Well, it's in the context of Trump being exclusionary and divisive. You can quibble all you want.

sigh..

It doesn't have to be one or the other. I am going with Gary Johnson.

yeah I will say it again, you can call Trump whatever you want to call him, I don't care. but Hillary Clinton is no way a healer, believing that is ALSO a joke.

You can quibble all you want. Quite frankly, I don't know what your problem is.

You obviously did not read what I wrote here around 4:30 about the material found at your 2 links which were presented here earlier by someone else.
Go take a careful look please.
And as per the thread topic, could not someone of a viewpoint opposite to yours say the very same thing about Patricia Smith that you just said about Khizr Khan?
