NEW YORK - An under-siege Carl Paladino this afternoon blamed Andrew Cuomo and the media for distorting his view on gay rights, a day after he discouraged children from being "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option."
Separated by only a few blocks from Cuomo at the beginning of the Columbus Day parade they both marched in, Paladino today condemned his Democratic opponent for taking his daughters to a Gay Pride parade.
"For God's sake, he exposed his children to that nonsense of extremists of the gay pride parade. Would you do that? You have children. Would you take your children to the gay pride parade?" Paladino asked a reporter amid a crush of cameras that would eventually follow him the entire Fifth Avenue parade route along the east side of Central Park.
Asked if the gay parade is offensive, Paladino said, "Yea, because they wear these little Speedos and they grind that against each other, and I don't think little children should be exposed to that."
http://www.buffalonews.com/city/politics/article217389.eceMr. Paladino, how about some level-headed policy structure from your campaign?
All we seem to hear is anger, hate and threatening posturing towards the media...
The ONLY policy that you've actually laid out during your campaign is to cut 20% from New York State medicare program...
In closing, I quote a campaign ad: "Mr. Paladino, anger is not a governing strategy."
