Wolf Blitzer Asked If Hillary Was Naive..What?
This is a post from MOTHERSCRIBE.
It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush and might take a Clinton to clean up after the second Bush
I wasn’t going to bring up or discuss Presidential politics on this blog, but this morning I felt compelled to do so. During last night’s Democratic debate, Wolf Blitzer asked Hillary Clinton why she had voted to move forward with the Iraq war. After she answered the question, Wolf Blitzer then said:
Would you say you were naive in trusting President Bush?
I absolutely couldn’t BELIEVE that he said that! Not only because he was completely misappropriating her words, and showing a bias in his role as the “objective” facilitator, but MOST IMPORTANTLY he would NEVER have said that to a man. Ever. It was OUTRAGEOUS. And extremely offensive. Not just offensive to Hillary Clinton, but offensive to all women and really all men who believe that women should be treated with the same respect as men. As evidenced from the cacophony of BOOS that arose from the audience, it appears that some people agree with me. And Hillary Clinton will probably not be able to comment on Blitzer’s idiotic question, because she would be accused of using the “…because I am a woman” card.

Most people are missing the jist of Wolf’s question. On July 24, 2007, Hillary Clinton stated that Barack Obama’s comments during the July debate regarding meeting with rogue nations were “irresponsible and frankly naive”. Wolf was using Hillary’s own words that she used to deprecate Obama. If Wolf was being sexist, then Hillary was being racist.
