The swiftboating of Lt. Col. Khan is underway

[RandySF]

mid Donald Trump's ongoing attacks on the family of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, a Muslim-American solider who was killed fighting in Iraq, a number of his supporters latched onto a conspiracy theory that Khan's father is a "Muslim Brotherhood agent" and his son was on an "Islamist mission."

The theory seemed to originate with the fringe right-wing site Shoebat.com, which is run by Walid Shoebat, a Palestinian-American who has claimed to be a former terrorist and "radicalized Muslim" before his conversion to Christianity.

In a lengthy post published Sunday, Shoebat and his son Theodore argue that Khizr Khan, who made an emotional appeal Thursday at the Democratic National Convention to vote for Hillary Clinton to honor his son, "wants to advance Sharia Law and bring Muslims into the United States."

3. They are going to be beaten by their hatred of Muslims

because they can't be civilized enough to shut their mouths. This has done more damage to Republicans than any of their other idiotic positions. Whoever scheduled the Khans for speaking is either the luckiest or smartest booker ever to live.

People saying the father took money from The Muslim Brotherhood and is heavily paid by Hillary. Just garbage.

8. You knew it was coming.

I cringed a bit when all the shows had him appearing non stop, thinking that the country in general would be very supportive, but the uglies would come out of their holes if they heard him speak for an extended few days. Muslim Gold Star parents are allowed 15 minutes of grief, but no more.
