2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI am feeling concerned for the Khans
If the past is prologue, then these wonderful people are going to be submitted to RW terrorism for the rest of their lives for what they said at the DNC. Their courage and the truth they spoke has marked them for years of attacks from the RW knuckle draggers.
I wish it were otherwise, but we all know what they're up against.

Benedict Donald could've left them alone, he's started something he can't finish with them I pray

(23,286 posts)Repugs will bend over backward and twist into pretzels to make their lives miserable. Rush et al. will call them every vile name and throw every dirty stunt in their (very thick) playbook to demonize them. For the service and sacrifice they have made for us, it is incumbent on us to do all we can to protect and defend them.

Trump was right: I would like to talk to the wife, but she isnt allowed to speak, she would get beheaded if she did....
That says a lot doesnt it about the Muslims and towel heads that are trying to take over OUR COUNTRY, and Barky and Hillary are all to happy to make sure that happens...

(13,776 posts)Their existence terrifies me, and makes me sad. Not just for the rest of us but for them as well. What a waste, to squander a human existence on nothing but hatred. It's a choice they've made, so I don't really feel sorry for them, but still, it's sad.

(80 posts)I pray they are not subjected to hate and disruption in their lives. They've made the ultimate sacrifice, they should only have peace now. I weep for them.

(12,904 posts)There are some indications that something is badly broken over at Fox News. I don't think the talking points are being issued, and driven home, with the usual level of force. I don't know, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but something is off.
That's not to say that there are not still crazy nutbags out there, but I am feeling so optimistic about this fall's elections.
And, I kind of also have a feeling that Mr. Khan is a lot like his son, and would proudly take those ten steps forward (into the turmoil of a presidential campaign), that he spoke so eloquently of his son taking, if that was what was required to keep Donald Trump from ever becoming president. Heroes are sometimes raised by heroes. Mr. and Mrs. Khan are very, very brave.

(6,555 posts)... and they were praising him and his son as a hero and someone every American no matter the party should be proud of. I about lost m fast food (it was at a fast food place, I can't even turn them on at home). Who knows if they'll do it twice, but it is a shift.
