Khizr Khan lost his son, Capt. Humayun Khan of the Army, to the war in Iraq more than a decade ago. Last night he got on stage and DEVASTATED Donald Trump.
His Muslim son saved the lives of US troops in Iraq, but he never would have been allowed in the country if Donald Trump had any say. He had people in tears. Most powerful speech of the past two weeks.
Khan looked Trump in the eye and said, "You have sacrificed nothing, and no one."
Video:
Agreed. The Dems probably should have ended the convention with that speech. So good. It's easy to get swept up in the theatrics of Donald Trump, but his speech was very grounding and made you realize that Trump's ideas/rhetoric are dangerous and unamerican.
Will Hillary bring her girl Huma into the White House with her?
I'm going to start my own thread, "Hillary fans, Respond to Barack Obama's Muslim-American brother says he's voting for Trump."
Obama's own brother isn't even voting for Hillary.

On Trump he said,
"He appeals to me and also I think that he is down to earth and he speaks from the heart and he is not trying to be politically correct. He's just straight-forward."
"I'm a Muslim, of course, but you can't have people going around just shooting people and killing people just in the name of Islam."

Dude, how old are you? This is the exact same stuff Trump does when someone points out how ridiculous he is -- he just changes the subject to something else that is ridiculous. I don't like Hillary either, but OP's post wasn't about that. Maybe try addressing the actual content and people might take you seriously.
Nicer try, but he died because Hillary voted for war with Iraq. Trump has always been opposed to the Iraq war.
Trump is typical Chicken Hawk. He will send you or your kids to fight a war, but when it was his time ( or his kids time) to serve, he was a gutless coward.
Say what you will about John Kerry or John McCain, but at least that had enough character to serve their country.
Wow, rojo. You have lost it.
Conservatives say HRC is weak on terror. 25 generals and admirals stand on stage and pledge their support for HRC, including 4-star general John Allen.
Conservatives say HRC doesn't support police. Multiple wives of fallen officers stand on stage and pledge their support for HRC.
And last night, conservative after conservative stood on stage and said they were voting for HRC this year because Trump was a buffoon who appealed to the most shallow parts of our country. Well rojo, I guess you're a pretty shallow dude.
Thread on Obama's brother voting for Trump:
Are you kidding me?! Trump was a DRAFT DODGER. And he has the nerve to mock John McCain? The guy has lost his marbles. And so has rojo, apparently.
It wasn't Trump who sent his kid over there to die in endless wars for the Greater Israel Project. Trump in fact opposes these wars -- which is the sole reason he is being smeared 24/7 by the media machine.
This guy should know Hillary will create lot more dead Americans in these Zio Wars. Not Trump.
Rojo, you are correct that you can find someone who supports everything, and the fact that one muslim war hero's father supports Hillary doesn't mean Hillary is automatically correct. We agree on that.
However, I form my opinion about someone based on the quality and integrity of the people who are willing to support that person. Do you agree with that?
Trump supporters from the RNC include: Chachi from Happy Days. Italian soap opera star that Trump wanted us to believe was latino. The president of the Ultimate Fighting Championships.
Hillary supporters from the DNC include: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. 25 admirals and generals. Flo Groberg (profiled and praised by LRC themselves). And that was just one night.
I think this says more about you than it does about Trump.
Where is the DNC email asking "isn't there a Sanderson out there who had a kid who died in Iraq?"
This is transparent pandering. It would be like Trump parading out a black single mother on welfare that is voting for him. Classless.
Trump has a very sensible policy regarding Muslims.

The fact that Hysterical liberals can't handle the fact that the President's #1 job is to keep the America people safe, just shows how incredibly kooky liberals have become.
Trump was AGAINST the stupid war that the Neocon Jews and Liberal Jews suckered us into yet again.
HILLARY WAS 100% FOR IT, and mocked and derided anyone who voted against the stupid Iraq war and Afghanistan nonsense.

Except....EXCEPT..... Clinton didn't say she wanted to ban all black people from entering this country. And she supports welfare.
You need to work on your analogies. You should be able to figure out why yours isn't close to being one. (hint: yours might work if Hillary had paraded a white supremacist KKK redneck gun-nut idiot on stage who was supporting her and saying: 'look, ALL of that "demographic" aren't voting for trump, at least one is voting for me!" )
I can't even figure out who she is trying to sway here. Does she not feel strongly about her ability to pick up the Muslim vote? Shouldn't that be a slam dunk?
Surely no undecided or Trimp voters will be pro-Clinton after this display.
Trump was before the war before he was against it.
Sept. 11, 2002: Howard Stern asks Trump if he supports invading Iraq. Trump answers “Yeah"

UGH -- he was FOR the war before he was against it.
That's racist.
