Clinton let Smith's accusations go, like Bush did Sheehan's. Trump went ballistic over Kahn's.

Yes, I forgot that the SOS is in charge of defense related issues as well.

And that is the problem. He is so sensitive that he can't take any criticism whatsoever.

I said this same thing months ago. That Trumps worst enemy is himself and that Bill Clinton would easily be able to engineer things in order to bait Trump to say/do stupid things.

The reason Khan was there in the first place was as a counter point to Trumps calling for the end of Muslim immigration to the USA and his vilifying those Muslims already here in the USA.

Conveniently silent?

If your dogging Conservative posters on a message board, I suggest you do a better job of it. Many have pointed out that Patricia Smith blames Hillary Clinton in her DOS capacity for the negligence resulting in the death of her son. Hillary Clinton also lied to this woman. There's a direct relationship between the two.

An angry Khan (Khan good, Smith bad), on the other hand, has chosen to use the death of his son (killed by Muslims) 12 years ago to attack Donald Trump solely because of his position on immigration. Trump had nothing to do with the death of his son. And Trump's proposing to restrict immigration from Muslim countries that are hotbeads of hatred towards the U.S. in no way conflicts with the Constitution, BTW.

But we're not even talking about that. The subject is hypocrisy.

And the hypocrisy is yours.

She is also a grieving mother that is potentially looking for someone to blame. So you can't really take her claims at face value. Plenty of grieving people make things up to cope with their loss. Johnny Goschs mother is a prime example of that one. Regardless of the situation using either parent as a political tool was disgusting.

I too remember that and I remember the 4,500 who were killed looking for wmds that republicans don`t care about because they couldn`t use those bodies to further their political goals. They have no shame.

The difference is that Khan was using his son's death to attack Trump not because he was killed by the same people that Trump proposes to vet but because he makes his living as an attorney aiding Muslim immigration and has stated sharia law is above US constitutional law.
His attack not only obscures the facts it was also designed to aid his business.

In the case of Smith she was brushed aside as her son was by Hillary by lying about her orchestrating the supply of weapons to Isis from Lybia which sending in the help requested may have exposed.
