Wow Donny really is a piece of shit. Calling him a an ignorant, fear mongering capitalist swine doesn't go far enough.\ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Donald J. Trump belittled the parents of a slain Muslim soldier who had strongly denounced Mr. Trump during the Democratic National Convention, saying that the soldier’s father had delivered the entire speech because his mother was not “allowed” to speak. Mr. Trump’s comments, in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News that will air on Sunday, were his most extensive remarks since Khizr Khan delivered on Thursday one of the most powerful speeches of the convention in Philadelphia. In it, Mr. Khan spoke about how his 27-year-old son, Humayun Khan, an Army captain, sacrificed his life in a car bombing in 2004 in Iraq as he tried to save other troops. He criticized Mr. Trump, saying he “consistently smears the character of Muslims,” and pointedly challenged what sacrifices Mr. Trump himself had made. Mr. Khan’s wife, Ghazala, stood silently by his side. Mr. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, told Mr. Stephanopoulos that Mr. Khan seemed like a “nice guy” and that he wished him “the best of luck.” But, he added, “If you look at his wife, she was standing there, she had nothing to say, she probably — maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say, you tell me.” The comment implied that she was not allowed to speak because of female subservience that is expected in some traditional strains of Islam. Mr. Trump also told Maureen Dowd of The New York Times on Friday night, “I’d like to hear his wife say something.” The negative remarks about the mother of a dead soldier drew quick and widespread condemnation, and even given Mr. Trump’s history of retaliating when attacked, they were startling. They called to mind one of his earliest thrusts of the campaign, when he responded to criticism from Senator John McCain of Arizona, once a prisoner of war in Vietnam, by saying at an Iowa forum, “I like people that weren’t captured.” But Mr. McCain has a long history in the public eye. The Khans, before their convention appearance, had spent no time in the public eye.

The only thing Trump likes doing more than declaring bankruptcy is getting draft deferments. This clown has the nerve to beat up on people who were POWs and KIAs. Hey Trump, I like heroes who actually served and didn't run away.
I am sure that Clinton has recognized by now that the best way to combat Trump is to needle him into opening his big mouth and sticking his foot in it.
Breitbart 3 hrs · When Hillary trashed the Benghazi Mom whose son died because of Hillary's decisions and called the mom a LIAR--Establishment Media yawned. But some Muslim parents who Trump never met, doesn't know, and had ZERO to do with the death of their son takes cheap shots at the DNC--and Establishment Media go wild.
Saying a person is wrong is not the same as saying they are lying. And if Drumpf had been able to say even as much as Hillary did, "I can't imagine the grief she has about losing her son" he'd be in a lot better shape on this latest episode.
I could never excuse the guy for anything. But it's all hyperbole. He keeps feeding the media the day's narrative, and the media keeps buying it all.... everyday.... Incredible.
leftards, lol Joel B. Pollak / Breitbart: Hillary Called Benghazi Mom a Liar, But Media Freak Out over Trump on Muslim Parents
The media is "buying it", but none of us out here can know who Trump is unless the media quotes and publishes the things he says.
