  2. Trump made a bigoted insult about the parents of a fallen American soldier. And the tRumpers don't understand the fuss. Amazing. Really goes to show what kind of people tRumpers are.

  3. Hillary told the parents "We'll get this guy" and then went out and arrested a movie maker

    Media hypocrisy about grieving parents on full display

    [​IMG]

    The media found a new hero in the grieving parents of fallen soldier Humayun S.M. Khan, they delivered a scathing speech against Donald Trump at the DNC and are publicly mourning their son by campaigning for Hillary Clinton.

    Despite that several statements in Khan’s speech were hyperbole and just well done political theater, the media has praised them as redefining American politics.

    Yet when Pat Smith, the mother of a victim of the terrorist attack in Benghazi spoke she was fact checked and attacked by members of the mainstream media.

    Chris Matthews bashed Smith, calling her comments “a gross accusation” and said of the grieving widow “I don’t care what that woman felt.”

    No one in the mainstream media made similar comments about the Khan’s strange accusation that Trump wouldn’t have allowed them to immigrate to America, hasn’t read the constitution, and that the Equal Protection clause somehow protects foreign citizens.


    The most glaring display of the media’s hypocrisy is Steve Benen who writes for Rachel Maddow’s website. He said the RNC was manipulating the grief of a mother who lost her son but praised the DNC for doing the same exact thing.

    The Khans are just the latest in a long line of grieving victims that the Democrat use to attack Republicans and the media spends the entire election cycle obsessing about, just ask Cindy Sheehan, Kristen Breitweiser, and Joe Soptic.

    Trump is a buffoon if he thinks the media is going to treat him the same way they treat Hillary. If these parents had been at the RNC, there would have been a media howl over using these people as props.

  6. The media were indignant that Trump used grieving mothers. That is a tactic reserved for democrats.

    They attacked the mother of a man who died after Hillary and Obama vetoed a rescue mission. Hillary basically called her a liar on national TV. I mean, who you gonna believe, a grieving mother or a woman who is notorious for lying?

  7. It's almost like the democrats and media were being hypocritical and just exploiting this khan guy's grief to score points.

  8. I'll be glad when my generation dies off. Talk about insanity. Time after time the networks we grew up on spew forth hypocrisy and yet even to this day we still are shocked and act like it is just a one time abberation. My grandchildren don't even know what tv is.

  9. In this case some people treated Trump as he deserves. He insulted the parents of a fallen soldier with a racist bigoted comment. People from both sides were appalled. The media had nothing to do with it.

    tRumpers do not care. It's just the kind of callous, crude, classless people that they are.

    Hillary's lies are so patently obvious that the only people who believe them are muslims, blacks and french canadians. In that descending order of imbecility.
