Media hypocrisy about grieving parents on full display
![]()
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.

That's really the instructive part here. Even if the Khans had not volunteered to speak (they did), if the dems had set this up as a trap, its simplicity really should only trap a noob politician, maybe someone running for small town mayor or the like.There's no real way for Trump to win this argument and a wiser man would have known better than to be baited into this Cindy Sheehan type senerio...
Well comrade, I must agree. Every time he does something like this it lends more credibility to the accusations being made that he is too thin skinned, exercises poor judgement, and is a loose cannon. Can he be trusted with such power that comes with the presidency? Independents are likely to sway towards Hillary if this continues.That's really the instructive part here.

At one time I thought, hoped, if Trump wins, then the old saw, "the secretaries actually run this company" would prove to be true. But Trump has his kids running things.Well comrade, I must agree.

Hillary is your typical establishment hack, and criminally corrupt to her core, BUT, she is a known quantity and predictable. Trump? Who the hell knows what he'll do. He's losing ground every time he opens his mouth.
