You knew right wingers were digging frantically for something to smear Khizr Khan with, right? It’s what they do. They’d never let this father of a Muslim war hero get away with criticizing their god emperor Donald Trump, and if you’ve paid attention to how they do these smear jobs you probably expected them to try to paint Khan as a secret radical Islamic agent. I know I certainly did.

And sure enough, here it is, from the website of Walid Shoebat — one of those far right “anti-jihad” nutcases who has actually weaseled his way into numerous TV appearances as a “terrorism expert.”

What The Media Is Not Telling You About The Muslim Who Attacked Donald Trump: He Is A Muslim Brotherhood Agent Who Wants To Advance Sharia Law And Bring Muslims Into The United States | Walid Shoebat

That’s the illustration they’re using for this ludicrous post above, juxtaposing a photo of Khan with a Muslim Brotherhood logo. Subtle.

I won’t bother quoting from this mess. Again, if you know how these people work you already know what you’ll find — Khan once wrote a paper on shariah, and that’s all it takes. They’re off, smearing Khizr Khan as a Muslim Brotherhood “plant” working with the Clinton campaign to convert the whole country to radical Islam. In this weird right wing fantasy, Khan’s son — who was killed in Iraq warning fellow US soldiers away from an exploding vehicle — was also a secret Muslim agent who died before he could stage a jihad attack.

I wish I were just kidding, but that’s actually what the post says. This post is credited to “Ted,” by the way, who I believe is Walid’s even crazier son Theodore.

You can expect this line of attack to be all over the right wing blogs and media in a few hours, and don’t be surprised if Trump or one of his cronies uses it soon.

A white supremacist who’s been retweeted by Donald Trump and linked to Donald Trump Jr. is already pushing this ugly line of attack:

Right wing Twitter is already going wild over the post at Walid Shoebat’s site.

And there it is. Donald Trump crony @RogerJStoneJr is the first to retweet the ugly Walid Shoebat smear.

Mr. Khan more than an aggrieved father of a Muslim son- he’s Muslim Brotherhood agent helping Hillary https://t.co/mJuUYw60nK

And now, Fox Business anchor Lou Dobbs is also pushing the Shoebat smear, linking to Trump crony Roger Stone’s tweet calling Clinton aide Huma Abedin a “radical Muslim.”

Wait Mr. Khan traced to the same radical Muslim group as @HumaAbedin
