“Election year or not, the VFW will not tolerate anyone berating a Gold Star family member for exercising his or her right of speech or expression,” said Brian Duffy, of Louisville, Ky., who was elected July 27 to lead the nation’s oldest and largest major war veterans organization.
“There are certain sacrosanct subjects that no amount of wordsmithing can repair once crossed,” he said. “Giving one’s life to nation is the greatest sacrifice, followed closely by all Gold Star families, who have a right to make their voices heard.”
On Sunday, Donald Trump’s running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, issued a statement:
“Donald Trump and I believe that Captain Humayun Khan is an American hero and his family, like all Gold Star families, should be cherished by every American.
Captain Khan gave his life to defend our country in the global war on terror. Due to the disastrous decisions of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, a once stable Middle East has now been overrun by ISIS. This must not stand.
By suspending immigration from countries that have been compromised by terrorism, rebuilding our military, defeating ISIS at its source and projecting strength on the global stage, we will reduce the likelihood that other American families will face the enduring heartbreak of the Khan family.
Donald Trump will support our military and their families and we will defeat the enemies of our freedom.”
The time has come. The moment is NOW. Dump Trump!
Naturally the dems want every body to dump trump, they have the power and they want to keep the power and they know that when trump gets elected he will take that power away from them. They will make up any story or change the meaning of what he says, anything to make him look bad and whats even worse than that is the people that know better go right along with what they say. To borrow a few words from the great forrest gump, “stupid is as stupid does.”
This pos demorat also said their have never been any complaints against the VA system?
70% of the American people say this country is going downhill in the wrong direction – Hillary’s last poll showed she was 9 lieing points ahead of trump? But then again Hitlery said the American people are stupid! Or or is the media lieing?
Trump said He would run as a Republican for president, because Republicans are stupid and he could lie and they will believe him. This was in 1998 of course.
Clinton and Barry Sortero do not go outside while it is lightning because they are afraid of the wrath of the Lord for telling lies and being struck by lightning. FBI said they could find no evidence that the Lord could perform this act of justice.
Bodazz – You are what is wrong with America – stupidity and a corrupt demorat bent on destroying American values. Go home -we don’t need your or your muzzie terrorists in America.
I am home. And I like it here. I am seriously considering Gary Johnson as the one who gets my vote for President. I think I would vote for anyone who ran against Trump. He has no conscience, no tact, no grace. He is a buffoon who thinks he can say anything he wants and get away with it; hence his statement he could gun someone down on main street and his poll numbers would go up. This man is the biggest threat to our democracy in history. You are the one who needs to find some place where Nazis are welcomed to move.
we have been muffled for so long with this political correctness crap that when someone says what they actually mean people get all offended, put your big boy panties on and suck it up.
I’m not part of this feud you 2 have going, but just saying, David learned that line from me. I made it up awhile ago as a play on words. Big Boy Panties. I thought the imagery to be funny. Apparently David agrees.
So you and David agree on wearing panties?
Yes, David, Trump should put his big boy pants on and accept the criticism. But he can’t, because calling him out hurts his feelings and he strikes back like a four year old.
He strikes back like a MAN who won’t put up with the P.C. Do Gooder crap.
This is a LIE composed by the crooked clinton foundation and the Islam brotherhood.
Hillary as SOS got the muzzie killed – she is lying about what Trump said as always -believe nothing good about hitlery you read in the media as it is also corrupt in her favor. Trump will take much better care of our military than obummer and the lying southern bit-ch have.
And she did this five years before she became Secretary of State? She’s magical!
This is a tough one…Kahn lost a son who serve our country. Kahn’s son is a hero…period. Kahn entered the political area attacking a candidates position, undoubtedly, the candidate counter attacked. Offhand, Trump needed to respond, but he should have stuck to the facts of his position and not attack the Khans on a personal level.
However, you libs are failing to acknowledge how the parents of the those lost in Bengazi have been disgraceful treated by the other candidate. We don’t know exactly what role Clinton played in Bengazi, but we do know all about the bold faced lies told to the victims parents by Clinton herself. I can’t blame these parents for feeling the way they do and I don’t think our government has been transparent in disclosing the decisions that were made which adds to the problem.
Also, Hillary supported the war that killed Kahn’s son…she is responsible for that choice. Trump has flipped flopped on the issue, but had no role in the decision. I understand why the kahn’s may not support Trump, but I do not understand how they can support Hillary either.
One thing for certain..we need a good president and we aren’t probably going to get one either way.
Sieg Heil Herr (Hair) Trump! Long live Emperor Donald!
The man is a rich Muslim and I do not feel he had a right to be at an american political rally
It looked like a set up all the way.
He’s an American. He had every right to be there.
Muslim is a religion not a country. You can be Muslim and American.
He is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Clinton Foundation. What does that tell you?
Well, it tells me that you are a dumbass.
muslim is not a religion, it is a way of life, not a religion or a race but a cult.
Well David, you are correct in that Muslim is not a religion.
A Muslim is a person that believes in Islam.
If you are going to make a statement, try to comprehend the difference and at least make an attempt to sound like you know something.
David is correct and you are wrong, as usual.
ok LVS LOL
Try as you may to define it…Islam is a comprehensive political, religious, cultural, legal practice that does not distinguish itself from the political and cultural systems its followers live within. Other religions are able to separate themselves but Islam cannot…and this is why it is dangerous to freedom loving, secular peoples. When Islamic populations hit 51%, Democracy is turned against the former people who invited Muslims in. Sharia law is sought after, and restrictive, misogynist practices are implemented. You can deny it all you want…but those are the facts. If you want to “tolerate” Islam, you better keep their numbers under 10% in relation to the rest of the population, because if you do not…there will be trouble. And I don’t give a rat’s ass if that pisses off my otherwise liberal brothers and sisters. I’m with Bill Maher when it comes to Islam.
Jim, you need to move somewhere else. This is America. We were built on immigrants. Your problem seems to be that Mr. Khan’s skin color is darker than yours.
So Jim, you belittle a man that has sacrificed a son in defense of this country and all the while supporting Donald Trump who managed to get 5 deferments to keep his chicken-shit ass out of Vietnam.
Donald Trump regularly incites political violence, is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist and a misogynist.
Some patriot you are Jim, it is you that does not deserve to be here.
Here is just one more Muslim American that gave his life…..for you Jim.
His name is Ayman Taha. Read up on him.

Trump is our best hope in this election. Is he perfect? no, but he is not a politician. That is the reason we need to elect him, he is not beholden to anyone. (Anyone noticed how much Clinton cash is there from foreign countries is in the Clinton foundation?) She now owes them payback. She is bought and payed for by special interests just like all professional politicians.
Trumptards are mental gymnasts. They will go to any length to justify him as the worthy candidate. He could literally go against everything they believe in and they’d still vote for him because he’s “not Hillary”. The ultimate “cult”
Talk about mental gymnast, you support the most corrupt lying bitch on the planet and you are ignorant enough to talk about other people?
Care to direct me to the part of that response where I said I supported Hillary?
Denying it makes you a liar just like her.
Are you serious?!? I am not a Hilary lover and don’t trust her. However, I do trust her to behave like an adult with other world leaders, not have a crush on Putin, and to keep her finger off the nuclear trigger. I don’t trust Trump on any of those issues.
Hey Jim… what planet are your from? Any intelligent life forms there?
… and i feel you should be stripped of your citizenship and deported to lowest bidding thirld world shithole – preferably one full of muzzie savages
