Do you agree or disagree that Mr. Khan used his son's 12 year old death as a political tool?

Veteran's affairs thinks so.  Called it disgraceful. Using his son as a political pawn.

    Hello dog:

    Oh, I agree.  They made political hay of it, that's for sure..  I wouldn't call it disgraceful, though..  If you wanna see disgraceful, watch Donald Trump saying he always WANTED a Purple Heart..

    I agree and what I see is my party going lower and lower until they are unrecognizable.  We're becoming worse than the other guys with this Hillary thing and the association with BLM and now this kind of trash.

    We need to lower ourselves to that level?  Why not just run a clean campaign with a clean candidate and defeat trump easily?

    ex, ya I know, he's a political nightmare for sure dude!!!  Unfortunately for the US. Both of the candidates are psychotic, Trump shows it on his sleeve, HRC. hides it. Either way it's going to be one hell of a 4 years ahead, lol.

    I agree...but it didn't seem to bother Mr. Khan. And he was right.

    It was my first thought.  Actually I thought he may be paid well for his performance.

    Of course he did, and yes, it is disgraceful.

    I agree TT, but isn't there some kind of moral ethical line that shouldn't be crossed?  I think Mr. Khan crossed it and I also don't believe in all this "Gold Star" treatment, like he himself is a star, he ain't s--t, his son was!!!

    Oh, stuff it.

    People at political conventions using "political tools?" Shock! Horror! How will the Republic ever survive such ignominy?

    Just stuff it.

    Mr. Khan didn't use it for anything. The Clinton campaign used it at the DNC. That's bad enough, but Trump's reaction blew it up in his face, and that's nobody's fault but his.
