Will Old Man Hahn quit?

Posted in: Muscatine

 TP was talking about "prejudice" not discrimination.   Try again?


Prejudice.....discrimination....I did a simple google search for synonyms for the word predjudice. (You know, mallcontent...words that have the same meaning)...and here is what I got:

 

ageism, animosity, antipathy, apartheid, aversion, bad opinion, bias, bigotry, chauvinism, contemptuousness, detriment, discrimination, disgust, dislike, displeasure, disrelish, enmity, foregone conclusion, illiberality, injustice, jaundiced eye, mindset, misjudgment, narrow-mindedness, one-sidedness, partiality, pique, preconceived notion, preconception, prejudgment, prepossession, racism, repugnance, revulsion, sexism, slant, spleen, tilt, twist, umbrage, unfairness, warp, xenophobia...

 

Gee...look what shows up as a synonym! Surprised

 

At the Forum Saturday, a woman addressed Hahn about the concept of the Legislature being a group of Old White Men over the age of 70. Hahn didn't appreciate it, and during the Forum  break got quite verbal with her.  He did in fact act like a old white man.  Maybe its time for Old White Hahn to retire.


Again, "He did in fact act like a(sic) old white man." How do "old white men" act? Do you know a large group of "old white men" and do they all act alike? You are the one always pushing to have YOUR questions answered - why can't you answer my question?

Sorry, I've been gone for a couple of days.  Old White men are those who act like Hahn did.  Even the Muscatine Journal, in their editorial, addressed this issue.  When being asked a question, old white men most of the time either ignore it, spin it, or get mad.

Perhaps one of the best legislators Muscatine has ever had, Dick Drake, who was taken off the Senate floor more than once by ambulance stayed in the Iowa Senate one term too much.  This shouldn't happen to Hahn, who is starting to act like a old white man.

That is perhaps the lamest answer ever. I have watched obama exhibit these same tactics and he is neither white or old. Every person in politics has used these same tactics, so come on now - just what sets old white men aprt from others? I didn't read what the journal wrote but I would be willing to bet that they did not call him an old white man.
