Tea Party NY Gov Candidate's E-Mails Exposed: Racism, Porn, Bestiality
Source: TPM

An online news outlet in New York state has obtained dozens of emails, many of them racist and sexually graphic, which it reports were sent by Carl Paladino, the Tea-Party-backed Republican candidate for governor of New York, to a long list of political and business associates. One email shows a video of an African tribal dance, entitled "Obama Inauguration Rehearsal," while another depicts hardcore bestiality.

Paladino's campaign manager, Michael Caputo, would not comment on specific emails, but acknowledged to TPMmuckraker that Paladino had sent emails that were "off-color" and "politically incorrect," saying that few such emails represented the candidate's own opinion. Caputo accused Democrats of wanting to change the subject from substantive issues to "having sex with horses."

The news outlet that obtained the emails, WNYmedia.net, a western New York media company, says it confirmed that at least some of the emails were authentic by contacting several people who had received them.

Paladino, a wealthy western New York real-estate developer, has become a darling of the Tea Party movement over the last year, and launched his campaign for governor last week after being urged to do so by Tea Party leaders. ....

11. I wonder if Palin's leather outfit was a bone thrown to the S&M donor block
of the wing nuts?

If she dresses up in an anime outfit next we will know for sure.

3. I cannot get the links
to the emails on TPM to load. I really want to read what other crap that creep sent out.

Maybe someone with better luck than I can post a few of the other ones not discussed in the article.

And Yes, Democrats do want to discuss the "having sex with horses" issue because it is pertinent to Paladino's character.

24. Only in the 1770s. Even then, they tried to pin it on Native Americans, which was uncool.

9. And I'm sure he wouldn't bring out the emails if his opponent had sent them.
He'd be screaming from the rafters about family values.

10. "such emails represented the candidate's own opinion" ??? as opposed to whose opinion?
Is there another opinion that is more official than the candidate's? This is getting bizarre.

12. TeaScumBaggers don't care...
they want what they want, no matter what.

They will do the St. Sarah "Winky-Winky", snicker and giggle and move on.

It's A-ok for them to be skeezy, sleazy, cheaters, liars, and general pervs...BUT, if
anyone that opposes them does the same...look out! The HOWLING will be deafening.

nice to see the light of truth shined right back on the Tea Partiers that they claim is so helpful to shine at others. Tsk tsk tsk

15. Words escape me....
well words that will help it make sense. This has got to be the most INSANE story of the decade...and that is saying a lot. The guy shovels out the most racist, nasty, tasteless and disgusting emails I have ever heard of coming from ANY potential candidate for a public office and not only does he not deny it, he embraces it and his campaign manager slams the dems for "changing the subject of higher taxes to having sex with horses". WOW!!!! WOW!!! I just...ummmm...uhhhh...wow....ummm...I...uhhh...dang I just don't know what to say to that. He may not be a rethug candidate but he has a lot of their support and he has a lot of money. how could ANY person with ANY concept of self-respect and decency bring themselves to support and vote for a person like this? This is disturbing on MANY levels. This is an evil man and he makes no attempt to hide it and even condemns those that point it out as "changing the subject" NO, you being a vile human being is the subject of most importance as a candidate for governor of the state of New York.
The tea party folks are becoming more and more dangerous. Couple this with the nut jobs and state government in OK wanting to startup official state militias to fight off the federal government and we have a serious problems in our country. There has always been a big difference between us and the kind of situations a lot of other countries find themselves in. Outside of the civil war, we have managed to work out most of our differences without killing each other in large numbers. That is not always true in a lot of other places where people are killing or blowing each other up all the time. I know the M$M really loves to feed on this stuff and run with it in the public domain as much as possible to boost ratings but this is starting to get really sick and disturbing.

I read somewhere that Michael Caputo has ties to Roger Stone. Hope this story goes far and wide.
