You can see by this video that the reporter got up in Palladino’s face, kept pushing himself in front of Carl only a snoot’s distance apart, being unreasonably argumentative, and basically instigated the whole incident. If I were Carl, I would have let him have it too. The Cuomo supporting slimeball reporter deserved a kick in the butt and more. Instead he’s making the rounds this morning on the TV shows basking in his new and momentary notoriety.
I hope Carl does take him out. I also hope he takes out every other liberal blood-sucking scumbag (redundant) in this state when he becomes governor.
Fred Dicker ... winner of the most appropriate name award.
Watch the video.
just a bunch of nasty people, nothing to see there.
politics aint beanbags.
Fred DICKER was in Carl’s face and pointing his finger an inch away from Carl!! The DICKER is INSANE if he’s going after Carl’s daughter.
Dicker is bought and paid for by Cuomo. He’s been spreading rumors and crappola about Patterson for many months to drive him out of the Gov. race.
Now Dicker has moved on to Paladino. Stalking and trying to photograph a 10 year old girl is perverted.
Fred Dicker, brother of Willie.
is Dicker the new Clymer?
KICK HIS ASS CARL!!!!!!
The man is no wimp when it comes to defending his children.
He was PISSED that they sent photographers to take his 10 year old daughters picture through her windows and I guess they even went through her mail
I support Palladino. He is a politician and can take the hits face on. However, for them to go after his 10 year old daughter and run up to her window to try and get a photo? Of course she was scared to death. Any child or adult for that matter would be.
This was over the top and the little jerk that was trying to get into Palladino’s face deserved what he got. Palladino would be a failure all around if he didn’t stand up for and protect his daughter from scum like that.
I say he was in his rights. If the other guy can’t take it let him find another career.
Dicker crossed the line by getting in Paladino’s face about the Cuomo accusation. He wasn’t acting like a lamestream media reporter, he was acting like a disgruntled thug.
Paladino’s first response was reasoned and reserved. Dicker got more emotional, and Paladino unloaded.
Then, on cue, the lights come up, Dicker backs off taking a totally different tone, as Paladino lays into him verbally about their goons stalking his 10 year old daughter for pictures.
I’ve seen setups like this before. I was setup almost just like this in 1990 on a congressional campaign. This was orchestrated and Dicker was playing the part of a Cuomo partisan.
Fred Dicker wants to be the next Alan Chartock, who in exchange for access threw softballs to Mario Cuomo back in the day.
If you listen to Fred Dicker’s local radio show, you would already have a context for the relationship between “Fredrick” Dicker and Andrew Cuomo who has been a guest.
You may well question Paladino’s tact and the wisdom of the engagement, but Paladino lays Fred Dicker bare.
Fred Dicker made himself a tabloid caricature -it‘s entirely fitting.
You need to watch the entire video! Which puts Fred Dicker in his context at the end:
