Thread: Wolf Blitzer calls Ron Paul "the oldest white guy running in the Republican field"

  1. #1

    Thumbs down Wolf Blitzer calls Ron Paul "the oldest white guy running in the Republican field"

    MOD NOTE: Misleading information. Mary Madeline said Republicans usually go with the oldest white guy, who is Mitt Romney. Wolf corrected her and said that would be Ron Paul.



    Just now on the Situation Room, Blitzer referred to Dr. Paul as the following:

    By the way, the oldest white guy running in the Republican field is Ron Paul.

    In what context? Were they talking about Ames or what? Seems really random.

    No idea. He went from talking about Rick Perry to saying that statement, but he ended it by saying, "not necesarilly Mitt Romney." I didn't hear anybody call Romney an old white guy, but it was an offensive way to portray Ron Paul, nevertheless.

    Well, Republicans tend to go for "the old white guy" so maybe Wolf was saying that means Ron has a good shot. Lol

    the GOP tends to vote for the oldest white male in the primaries.

    He hit his age and race, that was completely out of line. Does anybody have a number I can call and complain? Let's make sure the dp people know too (I don't have an account there).

    Don't worry. We can all laugh over our drinks at an election night party when Wolf and the rest of the "Best political team on TV" break down the incoming primary results on Super Tuesday. I hate that $#@!ing touch screen they use.

    Thank you for the contact info. I most certainly am going to call and write when I get home (I'm on the train now). Could you imagine the outcry if he refered to Obama as the "middle aged black guy"?

    Yes, this is $#@!! If he at least said "oldest gay running in Republican field" , but "oldest white guy"?! I mean, are there some black guys older than RP running in Republican field that I don't know about, so that he needed to say oldest WHITE guy?! If there is reverse racism, then this is clear example!

  18. #16
    Well the youngest black guy hasn't exactly done a stellar job. I see this as a positive.

    I don't think the Republican base in Iowa views "old white guy" as a pejorative, so no need to get too bothered about this.

    Blitzer... what a racist putz!
    is it too early to start making that list for who's first up against the wall?

  23. #20

    If an anchor spoke ill about a man because he was handicapped, homosexual, black, chinese, or Muslim, they would be in jeopardy of losing their job. But when the media makes crude remarks about Ron Paul's age, shouldn't the same rule apply? As much as I hate -ism's, isn't ageism a form of discrimination? I'd think it should be frowned upon just as much as any other discrimination.

    Ron Paul and his campaign may not call the media down on this discrimination, but I think every time the media does it we should call them down!

    "For those who think the fight for liberty can be won in a couple presidential elections, piss off!"

    The fight for Liberty is a lifelong commitment that takes years of blood, sweat, and tears.
