An Open Letter to Khizr Khan
This guy nailed it. Original source at the link below.
http://bit.ly/2aqFBAY Dear Mr. Khan, I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son’s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful. As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: “Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.” Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed “…nothing and no one?”…has Ms. Clinton “..sacrificed” for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump “…has sacrifice no one” is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve. I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy. To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that ‘all Muslims’ should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: ” “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” The irony of your son’s own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored. I have little doubt that your son would have recognized the need to protect our country from these very people. In fact, he held is own troops back so that he could check on a suspicious car. Your son understood sacrifice and how to protect “his people”…’his soldiers’….’his fellow Americans’… As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your son’s own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely. Respectfully, Chris Mark US Marine and Navy Veteran. |
BZ!
Hope it reaches the intended target. |
This Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer Saudi plant can piss off. This is probably the best example of Taqiya in action.

BTW, Trump saying that he, too, has sacrificed shows how much of a douche he is. That's French.

Khizr Khan nothing but a socialist/progressive tool
Yup lots of "sillyvilians" taking credit for what we veterans do or have done.
Khizr Khan you are nothing but a socialist/progressive tool and too stupid to realize it. |
The response is poignant, and makes salient points ... but it does not belie the facts that Trump is a liar (made obvious by his contradictory televised statements), a con man (witness the Trump University lawsuit where he swindled hundreds, if not thousands, of middle class Americans seeking a better life through education), and a bully (he never apologizes for being wrong, but leverages his money to attack people who confront him with the truth). As a consequence, it is lost in the cacophony of noise that is Donald Trump.
Unfortunately, we have no better alternative in Hillary Clinton, who is an opportunist, a beyotch (altered spelling to protect innocent ears), and no leader. Consequently, I agree with Divemaster. I will not vote for either, but that is my choice. . |
Is there a backstory about Khizr Khan and Donald Trump?

Khizr Khan, just another sunni muslim piece of shit
I take back the remark that he was a DNC tool........ he's a sunni piece of shit and mouthpiece for the shit-hole called Saudi Arabia.
Clinton Cash: Khizr Khan’s Deep Legal, Financial Connections to Saudi Arabia, Hillary’s Clinton Foundation Tie Terror, Immigration, Email Scandals Together by MATTHEW BOYLE1 Aug 2016Washington, DC Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father that the mainstream media and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been using to criticize Donald J. Trump, has deep ties to the government of Saudi Arabia—and to international Islamist investors through his own law firm. In addition to those ties to the wealthy Islamist nation, Khan also has ties to controversial immigration programs that wealthy foreigners can use to essentially buy their way into the United States—and has deep ties to the “Clinton Cash” narrative through the Clinton Foundation. Khan and his wife Ghazala Khan both appeared on stage at the Democratic National Convention to attack, on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s behalf, Donald Trump—the Republican nominee for president. Their son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq in 2004. Khizr Khan, in his speech to the DNC, lambasted Donald Trump for wanting to temporarily halt Islamic migration to America from countries with a proven history of exporting terrorists. Since then, Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos—who served as a senior adviser to the president in Bill Clinton’s White House and is a Clinton Foundation donor as well as a host on the ABC network—pushed Trump on the matter in an interview. Trump’s comments in that interview have sparked the same mini-rebellion inside his party, in the media and across the aisle that has happened many times before. The usual suspects inside the GOP, from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to House Speaker Paul Ryan to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have condemned Trump in one way or another. The media condemnation has been swift and Democrats, as well their friends throughout media, are driving the train as fast as they can. 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. Khan, according to Intelius as also reported by Walid Shoebat, used to work at the law firm Hogan Lovells, LLP, a major D.C. law firm that has been on retainer as the law firm representing the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States for years. Citing federal government disclosure forms, the Washington Free Beacon reported the connection between Saudi Arabia and Hogan Lovells a couple weeks ago. “Hogan Lovells LLP, another U.S. firm hired by the Saudis, is registered to work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia through 2016, disclosures show,” Joe Schoffstall of the Free Beacon reported. The federal form filed with the Department of Justice is a requirement under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, which makes lobbyists and lawyers working on behalf of foreign governments and other agents from abroad with interests in the United States register with the federal government. The government of Saudi Arabia, of course, has donated heavily to the Clinton Foundation. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given between $10 and $25 million to the foundation while Friends of Saudi Arabia has contributed between $1 and $5 million,” Schoffstall wrote. cont: http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presid...mail-scandals/ |
I can't think of HRC doing anything political without thinking it out first -- up to and including -- him speaking at the convention. She isn't a rookie politician.

My comments..
As to Mr. Khan....what was his point....that all Muslims are not Jihadi's? I think we all understand that...all Muslims are not violent nor do they practice full Islam, only the parts they cherry pick. Not all Muslims desire sharia. I wish all Muslims believed as that. Are we to believe tho, that because Mr. Khans fine son was patriotic that all Muslims are so? Are we to believe from his sons sacrifice that all Muslims are not Islamists? I wish it were so. The problem tho, that we have experienced, is that it is not so. Maj. Nidal Hassan killed how many of his fellow soldiers in the name of Jihad? Unarmed, waiting in a gym, in a pre deployment event. How can we differentiate the Khan's from the Hassan's in an immigration venue? Maybe thru a proper vetting process? Is that unreasonable in light of today's events? This emotional back/forth never really articulates the total issue...it is meant to be simply that. Emotional non thinking reaction. |
Personally, I think he was unwittingly (personally) used as cannon fodder by Clinton to muddy the waters by his taking shots at Trump, his receiving Trumps return fire, and giving her new talking points.
