Frank Rich: The Rage Won’t End on Election Day (Slander, they names is The Times)
The New York Times ^ | October 16, 2010 | Frank Rich

CARL Paladino began his New York gubernatorial campaign by bragging he’d “clean out Albany with a baseball bat.” When an ally likened his main Albany target, the (Jewish) leader of the State Assembly, to “an antichrist or Hitler,” he enthusiastically endorsed the slur. We also learned of Paladino’s repertory of gag e-mails — among them a pornographic picture of a woman having sex with a horse and a photo of an African tribal ritual captioned “Obama Inauguration Rehearsal.” How blind we were not to recognize that his victory in a Republican primary under the proud Tea Party banner was inevitable.

A week ago New Yorkers were presented with a vivid reminder of how a bat can be used as a weapon. A pack of young thugs was charged with torturing three men in the Bronx for being gay, one of whom, The Times reported, was sodomized with “a small baseball bat.”

It’s probably safe to assume that no one in this lynching party has heard of Paladino. Presumably he has heard of them, but a man of Tea Party principles will not compromise, no matter what may be happening in the real world. Don’t tread on Carl! And so last Sunday, as the city was reeling from both the Bronx bloodbath and the earlier leap of a bullied gay Rutgers freshman off the George Washington Bridge, Paladino visited a fringe Orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn to stand his ground. He attacked gays for supposedly plotting to brainwash children into accepting the validity of homosexuality.

We don’t know what will happen on Election Day, but one fairly safe bet is this: Paladino will not be the next governor of New York....

“How blind we were...”

And they still are. Peddling the same old tripe isn’t going to get it anymore.

Another example of "unbiased" reporting by Liberal Activist Media Establishment(LAME) member Frank Rich.

As if no one has ever heard of a crooked Jew who would sell his own people to the Nazis?

Please contact me if you’re interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.

Look at Mr. Rich, attacking Paladino on the basis of his associates. The current occupant of the White House, lottery winner and pseudo-President Barack Obama, numbers among his "allies" a man who, along with his wife, personally placed bombs that were intended to kill policemen and maimed at least one. Another of his "allies" asked for G-d to bring down damnation on the country that made him a multi-millionaire. Yet another "ally" of Obama suggested that as many of 25 million of his countrymen, some of him his neighbors, might have to be sent up the chimney in order to bring to fruition his plans for a communist utopia in the United States.

Apparantly these facts are no big deal for Mr. Rich, as dishonest and disgusting as any of the intellectual freak show that gets to play out their fantasies on the pages of the New York Times, which newspaper is in the process of bankrupting itself financially as well as morally and intelletually.

The left has been demonizing Tea Party folks, forgetting that Tea Partiers are us, and we VOTE!

Does anyone know if the debate will be streamed online, or on a radio show, for those who don’t have cable?

That’s a good question because we don’t have it.
