Carl Paladino in BLAST at GAYS: 'Nothing To Be Proud Of In Being A Dysfunctional HOMOSEXUAL'

Flame-throwing Republican Carl Paladino blasted gays Sunday - saying there is "nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual."


"I don't want brainwashed into thinking homosexuality is an equal valid and successful option," Paladino said during a visit with Orthodox Jewish leaders in Brooklyn's Williamsburg.


Paladino, who is running for governor, told the conservative Jewish leaders he would veto a gay marriage bill if it's passed by the Legislature.


Paladino drew a distinction between himself and Democratic rival Andrew Cuomo, saying he boycotted the gay pride parade while Cuomo marched.


"I didn't march in the Gay Pride parade this year. My opponent did. There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual. That's not how God created us, and that's not the example that we should be showing our children - and certainly not in our schools," Paladino said.


He went on to zing Cuomo for allowing his daughters to also march in the gay parade.


"My opponent took his daughters to march in a homosexual parade," Paladino scoffed.


Asked whether such comments are appropriate given Saturday's stunning charge that nine members of a sadistic Bronx gang tortured a gay man and two gay teens, Paladino said he does not support gay bashing.


"Don't misquote me as wanting to hurt homosexual people in any way. That would be a dastardly lie. My approach is live and let live," Paladino said.

Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto ripped Paladino as a homophobe "unfit to represent New York."

"Mr. Paladino's statement displays a stunning homophobia and a glaring disregard for basic equality," Vlasto said.

He said the comments "along with other views he has espoused make it clear that he is way out of the mainstream and is unfit to represent New York."

[neverforget]

1. He's a real piece of shit.

[Segami]

2. A ' SACK-OF-SHIT ' is more like it.

[neverforget]

14. I stand corrected,

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Cuomo should say to Paladino....

Oh rubbish. You have no power here. Be gone before somebody drops a house on you.

[Just One Woman]

11. Good one

Made me laugh out loud. I hope you don't mind if I use that line. I promise I will try to remember to carry my wand. Brilliant!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

4. Someone please tell me this race isn't even close.

I'm trying to keep up, but it's pretty busy down here in NC with Marshall (D) v. Burr (R) and Pantano (Teabagger War Criminal) v. McIntyre (D).

[customerserviceguy]

8. Trust me, it's nowhere near close

Prissy Chrissy is going to win in Delaware long before Paladino would even get 45% of the vote.

Enough people, even those who might flirt with voting Repuke this year, know that he's an idiot. Gillebrand and Schumer are in worse electoral shape than Cuomo, meaning that there's nothing to worry about here.

Some tea partiers upstate picked this assclown over Lazio, that's all.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

19. Good. Paladino (and Pantano in NC) are particularly vile. (n/t)

[Just One Woman]

5. Yep he is a horses ass

He is the guy that had all those bestiality emails he was forwarding of horses with women, or was it a man? Most asses like him have their own fear of being gay. Looks like he is one of those.

[Codeine]

6. So being a functional homosexual is still cool, yeah? nt

[Habibi]

18. lol

I'll have to steal that line in my local rag's comment section when the Paladino supporters rear their ugly heads.

[saltpoint]

7. Carl, the proctologist team left you a message: they said yes,

they found your head, but it may be way too far in to ever remove.

[Divine Discontent]

9. I'd rather be a 'dysfunctional' Gay guy, than an "I'm mad as hell & I'm not gonna

take it anymore" Howard Beale-wannabe, who is dangerous to society - especially reporters!


Dude's a stark raving lunatic.

[Mojambo]

10. His approval rating with the T-Baggers just spiked. n/t

[Just One Woman]

12. Project?

I think Rachel Maddow is right and that he is really an art project, one gone really bad.

[gratuitous]

13. If someone should know about dysfunctional, it's Mr. Paladino

Say hello to your out-of-wedlock daughter for us, Carl. We know how much it upsets you when anyone reminds you of your unfaithfulness to your wife. God help that little girl, as her very existence is a constant reminder that you weren't man enough for that "forsaking all others" vow you made to your wife in front of your friends. But maybe that's just the way God made you.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

21. POST. OF. THE. YEAR. Fantastic!! Sick and tired of these fucking hypocrites! n.t

[RagAss]

15. He'll fade away like a bad fart after November.

[kenny blankenship]

16. Because Real Men like horse schlong porn, right Mr. Paladino? Or is that Palomino?

17. Good thing there are no gay people in New York!!

Oops, wait a minute...

[applegrove]

20. A dysfunctional homosexual? Bullshit. The only disfunction is the hatred

directed at kids as they grow up. It is the religious wackos and the deniers who mess up the world for young gay kids.

[krabigirl]

22. what a despicable f*cker.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

23. Apparently Carl is fine with dysfunctional horsefuckers though.

Yeah, I know.... Jesus said "horsefuckers" somebody alert the media!11!

Just can't stand this idiot. Especially when he tries to speak for Me and My Dad. :grr:

[Canuckistanian]

24. Gee, and he seemed like a nice fellow up to this point

Why am I not surprised he's a raving homophobe as well?

[sabrina 1]

25. Do we have the tea-baggers to thank for Carl?

I am sort of glad he's running. It would be a tough race if Republicans had run someone sane. But he's pretty much guaranteeing a win for Cuomo.

Someone should get him some help, but AFTER the election. He's doing fine helping elect a Democrat just the way he is.

[Dark]

26. Well if you're going to be gay, you might as well be good at it.

:sarcasm:

Anyways, I saw that article. I love how the Synagogue asked him not to mention his opposition to the Mosque near Ground Zero because they didn't want the word "Mosque" said in their temple.

Fucking hell. What's wrong with our species
