Paladino's gay issues hounds NY governor campaign
AP via SFGate ^ | 10/13/10 | MICHAEL GORMLEY, Associated Press Writer

Posted on 10/13/2010 12:34:57 PM PDT by SmithL

Republican candidate for governor Carl Paladino rails against gay marriage and called the bumping-and-griding at gay pride parades disgusting. He also once was the landlord for two gay clubs in Buffalo.

The real estate deal, first reported Wednesday by the New York Daily News, left Democrats calling him a hypocrite. Paladino's campaign said it proved that he supports gay rights, just not gay marriage. Meanwhile, a rabbi who represents an umbrella organization of ultra-Orthodox clerics said he was dropping his endorsement of Paladino because the candidate had apologized for the harsh wording of some of his comments about gays.

So if Cuomo wins the Governorship it will be accurate to describe NY as totally gay? I bet they are gonna love that in Buffalo, Erie, and Syracuse.

It was surprising to no one except the liberals when Cali voted against gay marriage. This issue is probably going to hurt Palamino less than they think, if at all.

As ColdOne said, the only ones hounding him are the press. How is being a landlord to two homosexual bars hypocritical? Do they get married in his bars?

Never apologize for taking a strong moral stand.

The gay “lifestyle” is incredibly filthy, with perversions so revulsive that just desctibing them would be far outside the boundaries of polite adult discussion.

By giving in to the gays, we have allowed them to ply their perversions in broad daylight in front of our children. They now have virtually free access to many public shools, especially in liberal districts, where they can not only actively recruit, but share their extremely revulsive sexual techiques.

One junior high school assembly in Massachusetts was taken off campus to a Tufts University convention hall where the young students were shown how to perform “fisting” and other extreme perversions.

Paladino should never have had anything to do with a sodomite bar, as landlord or anything else, or he does appear a hypocrite.

He should keep his distance from anything and everything homosexual whereupon he can freely, unhypocritically express his revulsion for their “lifestyle”.

Please notice that those going after Paladino is the press who has been heavily infiltrated by homosexuals and liberal elites. It isn’t NYers that are attacking him. NYes had a fit when the state tried pushing through homosexual “marriage” twice. It still hasn’t passed. They know people don’t approve.

In reality, Gay rights in the NY governor race from a scale of numbers 1-10 in priority ranks number 4659!!! New york State has mega problems and Gay rights is not one of them. I am not bashing Gay rights, just putting them in the “real” pecking order for New York state voters. Voting for Cuomo, or for that matter any Democrat in New York is akin to leaping intop the East River from the Brooklyn bridge!!! Now, Mr. Paladino might be a bit overbearing and off-base, but he is just what “Big Apple” New York needs to return to sanity, leadership and economic growth!!! Is he perfect??? No!!!! But who is? Certainly Cuomo borders on lunacy!!! Well, NY, what’s it to be?? Me, I say, Paladino!!!

If Paladino didn’t have a chance the press wouldn’t be pounding on him. His big win over Lazio has them really scared. And Cuomo is hiding.

That's easy to say if your state legislature isn't trying to push homosexual "marriage".

I am not bashing Gay rights,

FR bashes the homosexual agenda. Their agenda is to silence opposition. Bias laws kill freedom and raise a protected class.

So the people of NY will doom their state to a damaged economy in order to keep a small percent of their population from having their feelings hurt? Is feeling good about anal sex so important?

I wish someone could stand up and spell out the problems with the homosexual agenda while making clear that they are not calling people names or being mean spirited against individuals. It just frustrates me that the liberals always get the last word and the upper hand on this issue. People should be able to just enunciate common sense on how one can be against state sponsored homosexual marriage and against state sponsored public school indoctrination without hating individuals who have a homosexual inclination or descending into jokes and name calling. Maybe the homosexual lobby is so powerful that no one will be able to criticize the homosexual agenda in the public square.

It's that way already. People need to gird their loins, get a spine, and tell the freaking truth about the homosexual agenda. Paladino's back pedalling is sorry and won't do him any good. Those who won't vote for him already won't, anyway.

The MSM means MainStreamMedia but actually it also means Men who have Sex with Men, and the two have a very large overlap.

All I see is a biased press yapping. When did the people speak?

The NY I know would fit this description, however, the NYC media will churn on this for the next 3 weeks. I can’t tell if Paladino did this on purpose or by slight. Tying Cuomo to whining homosexuals should help him upstate, not sure how it plays downstate. Hopefully he wins.
