Trump surrogate trying to smear Khizr Khan on CNN right now - you're not going to Swiftboat this

i think the more they attack this very sympathetic couple, the dumber they will look. They're trying to turn it around, but I'm thinking no one takes the bait.

They'll go DefCon One on these creeps. "You're talkin' about our captain's mom. Bad move, assholes."

I hope they choke on this.

I teared up when Mr. Khan related the "our Captain" quote.

There are marked differences between Captain, The Captain and Our Captain.

Every veteran immediately knew in their gut exactly who this officer was as a man when they heard that.

After decades of Republicans pretending that they are patriots. That only they love and support "the troops" all while using them as pawns and treating vets like garbage. If this is the moment that finally opens people's eyes to the truth... Well that would be justice.

If you're very lucky, you serve with a commander who earns and deserves "Our". "He was a man. Take him for all and all."

They're trashing a family who raised such a man. May they choke on their vomit.

Peaceful passage, Captain. Hand salute, sir.
