“If this was a Trump rally, I’d grab you so hard…“
Patterico (bcf524) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:48 amcnn’s a stinky garbage channel
corey looks like he’s dropped some weight
happyfeet (28a91b) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:50 amAs long as they have that thug Lewandowski on there, right you are.
Patterico (bcf524) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:52 amThat lady was pretty amped up on behalf of the Khan mother.
Dejectedhead (c21a67) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:53 amWhat happyfeet said. And my sympathy is with Lewandowski. He had to put up with that New York “excuse me, “excuse me” [stuff] from Trump. He doesn’t need to put up with it from some frump.

Colonel Haiku (16bf9c) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:12 amMeanwhile, more allegations of Clinton’s reset malfeasance…
“Consider Skolkovo, an “innovation city” of 30,000 people on the outskirts of Moscow, billed as Russia’s version of Silicon Valley—and a core piece of Mrs. Clinton’s quarterbacking of the Russian reset.
Following his 2009 visit to Moscow, President Obama announced the creation of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission. Mrs. Clinton as secretary of state directed the American side, and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov represented the Russians. The stated goal at the time: “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the Russian and American people.”
The Kremlin committed $5 billion over three years to fund Skolkovo. Mrs. Clinton’s State Department worked aggressively to attract U.S. investment partners and helped the Russian State Investment Fund, Rusnano, identify American tech companies worthy of Russian investment. Rusnano, which a scientific adviser to President Vladimir Putin called “Putin’s child,” was created in 2007 and relies entirely on Russian state funding.
What could possibly go wrong?”

Patterico (2f4209) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:20 amThe problem with Trump is that as a billionaire he’s always been able to “afford” to make enemies. You can do that in the private sector when you’re the Boss Hogg who gets to say “You’re hired!” or “You’re fired!”
But in politics, you have to do a lot of kissy-face in order to win people’s public support and their vote. Unlike on ‘The Apprentice,’ the voters do the “hiring” and “firing.”
He bizarrely trashed John McCain last year for being shot down and becoming a POW, and so he shouldn’t be surprised when daughter Meghan retaliates by zapping him on TV as she did this past weekend.
Why couldn’t we have had a Rubio/Jindal ticket?
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:29 amOh, that’s right … before there was a #NeverTrump movement, there was a #NeverRubio movement! (LOL)

happyfeet (28a91b) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:38 amI just pray that people will stop obsessing over ISIS, China’s expansionist sabre-rattlings against its neighbors, Supreme Court nominations, and 1.2% GDP growth during the 2nd quarter, and instead focus on Melania’s high school book report, baseball pennant races, re-arranging the Chaise lounges by their swimming pool, and the Kardashian girls’ love affairs.
Fortunately, I have all the confidence in the world that political commentators will! … and voters, too!

There was no reason to trash John McCain for “being captured.”
John McCain is disgusting

he’s a pooper
happyfeet (28a91b) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:52 amMr happyfeet, why would you say such a heinous thing about McCain?
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:56 amYou should stick to saying funny things.
Leave the nihilistic deep thoughts to the #NeverTrump crowd.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:58 amThat woman is nuts… a frustrated actress, perhaps… working hard to achieve a grief orgasm.
The Donald should simply say the son was a hero and he can understand the mother’s over wrought grief and move on.
The American audience and media will quickly tire then, since in this modern era of Bread and Circuses, they will require fresh meat soon.
PTS (ce7fc3) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:00 amWhat worthless POS doesn’t?
Rick Ballard (8a237d) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:01 amDoes anyone find this sort of programming entertaining or enlightening? You can see the same thing on Fox’s Kelly show. It’s almost always the case that the conservative/Republican designee is put in a position of having to sit quietly why the other side unloads a barrel of venom. The hostess, Kelly say, nods politely all the while lending credence to the entire process. I think the idea is that by having the opposition submit to the assault, the viewer will conclude that there must be some truth in the words being spewed so energetically.
It is also curious that CNN would hire Lewandowski as a political commentator. The man was fired as Trump’s campaign manager. Are we to presume that he will provide an effective counterpoint to an anti-Trump spokesperson. Is it the fact that he is still receiving some severance pay that qualifies him for this role? Or am I missing something. Did CNN hire him because it foresaw the opportunity to put him in such positions, with the hope that he would explode and thus drag Trump, by prior association, down even further.
I always wonder why these designated targets put up with the abuse. It would be inspirational to see one of them stand up, quietly say “No one should be treated like this. This is a disgrace.” Then remove the mic and walk off the stage.
BobStewartatHome (a52abe) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:04 amQuinn should be more respectful of Lewandowski’s space. Not even Rick Lazio laid a hand on Hillary Clinton during their debate all those years ago (which may be what Lewandowski was thinking about instead of what Patterico says he was thinking about). Technically, Pat, didn’t Quinn assault Lewandowski in this video?
Andrew Hyman (5a303d) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:04 amThis presupposes that McCain’s long history of stabbing his fellow party members in the back at crucial moments is due to some defect in McCain’s victims.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:17 am“It is also curious that CNN would hire Lewandowski as a political commentator.”
BobStewartatHome,
Why wouldn’t a propaganda outlet dedicated to diminishing Trump (as if it were necessary) ignore the potential damage his surrogate is capable of doing by leaving him on the sideline? He’s got a face everyone would love to punch and a demeanor to go with his face.
He’s going to be a real asset for CNN’s purpose.
Rick Ballard (8a237d) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:17 amMeaning he is white. Rick, if you were to appear on CNN yours would be the face everyone would love to punch.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:25 amThere’s only one variable in the criteria for CNN’s determination of whose face is punchable.
Julian Assange: Hacked Emails Detail Hillary Arming Jihadists in Syria — Including ISIS Itself
—Ace
“Julian Assange: So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates. So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails. There’s more than 1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s collection, that we have released, just about Libya alone.”

Could just be me.
By the way, Trump didn’t “trash” McCain, he just gave his opinion that McCain isn’t a hero by virtue of becoming a POW. Which claim McCain shamelessly exploited for political gain. Of course your concept of “trashing” may include speaking unflattering truths about someone, if so, carry on.

If you are going to call out the disgraceful behavior of an individual toward one Gold Star family, then you must equally call out the disgraceful behavior of an individual toward the other Gold Star family. If that basic level of fairness is not given equally, then contrary to the CNN reporter with the horrendous hairdo’s claim that the Khan’s appearance was not about politics, this clip confirms that it is everything about politics. It also confirms her utter dishonesty.
That the Khans and Patricia Smith choose to stand before the public and expose their wounded hearts on behalf of two of the most despicable people in public life having the indescribable arrogance to believe they are the president that our country needs – not deserves – is certainly their choice. But it is also simply beyond me.

kishnevi (10c258) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:12 pmIn a recent TV appearance, Kahn said he’s tired of being in the media spotlight and wishes to return to his quiet private life with his wife.
He plans to hit the morning shows tomorrow to explain this media ennui and how The Donald has exploited his grief for political gain.
After the morning shows, he is scheduled for a one week tour of key toss up states to explain why he is so sick of the spotlight and having his grief dragged through heartless political mud by The Donald.
Upon completion of the tour, he is scheduled to visit the White House and stand in the Rose Garden with President Obama and denounce the cheap and tawdry way in which his grief has been exploited in the media by Donald Trump and extol the virtues of Islam as he and Obama say a Muslim Prayer for Kahn’s son who died 14 years ago in action. Kahn’s wife will also be present during the Rose Garden appearance and she will weep softly in solidarity with her husband’s grief as accompaniment to the prayer which the President will lead.
After the Rose Garden appearance, the Khan’s will have a brief 5 day book signing tour to protest the cold exploitation of their grief for personal and political gain by Donald Trump.
The Kahns want all the world to know what an exploiting person Trump is who would do anything to savage the memory of their son if Trump thought he could gain from it.
The Kahns are really, really sick of the brutal, callous and base media exploitation they and their unabated 14 years of grief have suffered and simply want to go back to their life.
They want you to know this.
Back to their life…. understand?
Where its quiet!
Where they can grieve in private.
Soon… really, really soon…

MD in Philly (db18b8) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:21 pmShe wants to call out Clinton every chance she gets.
I think she is a participant, not being used.
Could be wrong.
not comparable situation
If this was in response to my comment, narciso, I disagree in that my point wasn’t the fact that the particulars were different, it was that both sets of parents lost their sons in service to their country.
kishnevi,
Oh, I agree. Patricia Smith is so obviously frustrated and confused and simply cannot wrap her mind around the fact that she was lied to by the woman who wants to become her president. I wish she were stronger to articulate specifics, over and over and over, of exactly what Clinton said, when she said it (hit the “over my son’s coffin” repeatedly) and not let up demanding answers. However, as it is, I fear she is going to go over the Cindy Sheehan edge because it’s simply too much for her. This may not be a fight worth losing everything else over. I wish there were someone to fill the gap for her until an answer is forced out of Hillary by the MSM. Which is the only entity that stands a change of compelling one.
My prayers for both sets of parents. It’s a terrible, terrible thing all the way around.
Dana (995455) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:23 pmthe reason he volunteered himself, was to blot out pat smith and the benghazi heroes, this was the same convention where they jeered sgt. grobart and even general allen for bringing up islamic state at all, first world problems must take precedent,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:25 pmI agree with Dana’s concern
True, narciso,
MD in Philly (db18b8) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:33 pmAnd it has worked so well for them because Trump has made it about Trump,
Instead of taking it back to Smith and others.
no it works because it’s an echo chamber, actually a dyson sphere, it’s so vast even the folks who should know better repeat the lie, the template, gitmo, iraq, skydragons, ‘hands up don’t shoot’ you can keep your doctor and your plan,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:42 pmOh my heavens, that is just too fabulous!
Bill H (971e5f) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:54 pmthe events we see from paris to anspach, are the result of the policy decisions this administration made, in tandem with some of those former allies who ‘spoke truth to power’ actually they were so inbed with Saddam, they sprung for the cigarettes,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/1/2016 @ 7:54 pmso are we talking about real things, the anspach bomber, who pulled the old manchester manual gimmick, that he has been tortured in bulgaria, was just the sort who had likely been in iraq around the time of the counterinsurgency strategy, that for political reasons both obama and red queen, closed down prematurely,

papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:15 pm70. Following up a few links, Julian Assange seems to be saying, or gives the impression of saying, last Tuesday or so, that proof that Hillary Clinton is resdponsible for ISIS is contained in…. the DNC e-mails???
Now if I say something of that nature, and I have some time, I go ahead and argue it.
Sammy Finkelman (7fce49) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:15 pmbut there was no talk of terrorism, at that convention, reality being very inconvenient, but there was loads of ‘somelives matter’ crump/julian propaganda, which likely claimed one life in san diego, and another up in illinois, if memory serves me,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:16 pmRodney King’s Spirit (d28741) — 8/1/2016 @ 12:53 pm
his is all from illogical disinformation and a question from Rand Paul which Hillary Clinton pretended not to understand.
Sammy Finkelman (7fce49) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:19 pmsorry, that’s blasphemy, it’s the best film in the series,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:20 pmnow the first film which I saw on a plane, without earphones, that worth a fisking,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:23 pmI’m sorry narciso. It’s simply illogical. And this Khan working for Opec, on behalf of Saudi Arabia, paid good money and lots of it to the Clinton foundation.
They’re not going to stand by and let their investment goes to waste.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:27 pmDana,
Being treated “disgracefully!” is still not grounds for moral equivalence.
Trump had nothing to do with the Khan death.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 8/1/2016 @ 8:47 pmBut Hillary had culpability in the Smith death.
probably so, the last fellow on a long term retainer like that was joe wilson, and we know how much damage he wrought,
odd numbered trek films, are the less effective ones, 1, 3, 5, the even numbered ones are better on a declining scale except for insurrection, no good could be derived from that,

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2006/07/the_african_connection_rep_jef.html
and guess who they were also patrons to, three guesses,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:00 pmThere is no equivalence between the Kahns’ son’s death and the deaths in Benghazi.
If in fact Clinton is the “captain of the ship” i.e. as the head of the State Department, then she is responsible for her employees. She consistently and repeatedly ignored pleas from Ambassador Stevens for assistance, reinforcement, etc., and also ignored all input regarding the substandard and dangerous nature of the Benghazi facility.
This would be similar to the captain of an ocean liner ignoring the warnings of his crew as to the substandard nature of the vessel and its imminent failure, course, destination, equipment, maintenance, etc.,
For her own political motives, Clinton ignored all this thinking she’d get by and claim success in Libya.
We all know this… the data is out there for all to read.
Basically she caused the deaths of all concerned in Benghazi through lies, gross negligence, and denial all for the sake of her self.
Sound familiar.
Trump has behaved badly concerning the Kahns but there is simply no comparison to Hillary in any way shape or form.
Only liberals or Trump haters could draw similarities.
PTS (ce7fc3) — 8/1/2016 @ 9:06 pmwell the first instinct is to give them the benefit of the doubt, then we look further and the purpose of the exercise is not what they advertised, but as with the levick group, which traded on murky connections, that’s not the point,

“I’ve got the Khan.”
Paul (75c17a) — 8/1/2016 @ 10:09 pmTrump is a Khan-artist.
