If Mark Overholser of S. St Paul has a HS diploma, he should return it

In a letter published today in the Strib he goes after the Kahns for "waiting 12 years and then decide to stand in front of a national TV audience and use their son’s death as a cheap political stunt"

Hey, Mark, they did not "wait 12 years." They went after Trump who, starting six months ago and continuing, has expressed his opposition to Muslim immigrants. If he were President, the family may have been denied entry.

I've heard that education in Minnesota is not what it used to be but a simple understanding of what one hears and reads?

I am sure there will be letters tomorrow stating this point.

He was wearing a Navy hat and his wife had a Nancy Reagan smile going on. Stupid people.

Another Trump supporter caught in a time warp akin to Pierson stating Obama caused Humayun Khan's death even though he was killed when Bush was the president.

“It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost his life,” said Pierson, alluding to the 2009 order tightening restrictions on when troops can engage in combat."

"Contrary to Pierson’s erroneous statement on CNN Tuesday night, the U.S. Army captain was killed during a suicide bombing in Iraq in 2004, five years before Obama assumed the presidency."
