Tea Party NY Gov Candidate's E-Mails Exposed: Racism, Porn, Bestiality
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. Paladino is staunchly opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage, and has said he considers himself "the only Republican in the race who agrees 100 percent with conservative values."

1. Gee are the republicans constantly and everlastingly comparing
Democrats choices for some of the offices to man on horse etc. Since they can push these type of things and then try to made to seem mainstream when in the hell is this agreement by the MSM going to stop. The Democrats are at fault because they do not push regulations that MAKE THE MSM be really fair and balanced and truthful in their news broadcasting, or should we say entertainment broadcasting in the case of Fox News.

11. Ah, but what about adultery, you ask? Not to worry, that's covered....
Paladino had an adulterous affair with an employee several years ago and recently acknowledged the employee's daughter as his own.

Let's face it, racism, porn, and bestiality are fine as far as they go, but you can't really feel comfortable in the highest levels of the Republican Party unless you've done your bit for traditional family values.

4. Changing the subject to "having sex with horses"
Now where have we heard that before?
Oh yeah, let gay people marry and the next thing you know people will want to marry horses.

10. I saw a guy who claimed he was HUNG like a horse...
Was on Jerry Springer, in fact...
camera switched to a different angle, but the audience seemed mightily impressed...:wow:

Of course it's not the same thing. A horse would have had MUCH better manners. Dude was a total jerk.

What?
I missed the point again, didn't I...:crazy:

5. This just adds to my theory that . . .
. . . the Tea Party thing is nothing new. In the late 1960s they called it "the white backlash." In the 1970's the "silent majority," and in the 1980's "The Reagan-Bush Campaign."

9. Polish up the "Proud to be an Asshole Badge" again
This is getting old......

The main problem I see is they are making it popular again.

The republicans have done this effectively over and over again. (Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Bush2)

"No, We're Really Just Stupid Fucking Rednecks" becomes a popular brass badge worn with pride (see Teabaggers for details) and those of us who espouse equality, and humanity are laughed at and made fun of.

14. Hilarious!
I especially like this part: "Caputo accused Democrats of wanting to change the subject from substantive issues to "having sex with horses."

Hey buddy, if your boss didn't send emails with graphic pictures of "having sex with horses", well then your Democratic opponents would not have anything to work with, would they?

Not to mention, these rabid right loonies NEVER welcom debate on "substantive issues". They specialize in deflecting any discussion of "substantive issues" back to their dog whistles and hate speech.

These people really think they can get away with anything, don't they. Scum.
