JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT - THE KHAN FAMILY AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION PODIUM - ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION BY HILLARY'S UGLY CROWD


COMMENT POSTED TO AN EDITORIAL IN THE GUARDIAN


Nonsense.

That family's effort at the podium was shabby exploitation by Hillary's crowd.

And we mustn't forget that dear Hillary voted to start the war their son died in.

And she worked on others - Libya, Syria - killing many people. Her ugly work in Libya even bagged an American Ambassador.

I have no sympathy whatever for a professional American soldier who is killed illegally invading another country, and special pleading on his behalf is sick.

The parents were foolish to think they had a special position of merit from which to insult Trump, a man who did not support the illegal war in which their son died.

The Guardian is just doing its usual, ugly support-the-neo-con bit here.

After all, you think Tony Blair - a mass killer and a liar just like Hillary - is just a fine man.
