MSNBC: Pat Smith’s Speech Was ‘Offensive’
But Khizr Khan’s Was ‘Memorable’

Both the Republican and Democratic conventions gave speaking slots to grieving parents of a son killed in combat, but — according to MSNBC’s Steve Benen — Khizr Khan’s DNC speech was “memorable,” while Pat Smith’s RNC speech was “offensive.” Smith, whose son, Sean, was killed in Benghazi, slammed Hillary for allegedly lying to her about the cause of her son’s death. “In an email to her daughter shortly after the attack, Hillary Clinton blamed it on terrorism.

Isn't it amazing, that a guy who has never done politics before comes out of nowhere, and gives one of the most powerful convention speeches ever? They'll be talking about Khan in 100 years. Here’s what Ambassador Stevens’ sister (who’s also the family spokesperson), Dr. Anne Stevens. had to say about whether or not she felt her brother’s death had been politicized: Yes! Definitely politicized. Every report I read that mentions him specifically has a political bent, an accusatory bent. One point that seems to be brought up again and again is the accusation that the attack was a response to the video. I could understand why that conclusion would be made, because it was right after the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Egypt. But, frankly, it doesn’t matter that that was the thinking, that night, about why the attack occurred. It’s irrelevant to bring that up again and again. It is done purely for political reasons. Dr. Stevens also went on to say that it’s “not appropriate” for some (mostly Republicans) to use her brother’s death as an election issue and that he had “a lot of respect” for Hillary Clinton. She also said that this new report recently released didn’t “look like anything new” and that what Republicans found was what we had already known. Read more at: forwardprogressives.com
