BWHAHAHAHA - Paladino Tells D’Amato He’s A 'SPINELESS FRAUD’ And ‘LOW LIFE PARASITE’

[Segami]

Welcome to Bizzaro Rethug World...


" It had been a while since we’d last heard from Carl Paladino, the fire-breathing Republican who unsuccessfully ran for governor in New York in 2010 and who delivered his concession speech while holding a baseball bat. But he’s still up to his old ways. In an email to former Sen. Al D’Amato (R-NY), which Paladino apparently forwarded to friends and supporters and which was obtained by Politicker, Paladino unloads on the elder Republican.

Al, keep your nose out of WNY politics or I will expose your underbelly. You are a spineless fraud and you’re going down with Skelos. Did you have fun at Andrews $50k party? You are such a low life parasite. It’s all about money and you could care less about the people and republican principals. What are you going to do when I tell the people that you were the prime mover of Andrew’s gay marriage bill so he could pound his chest as the most powerful governor the state has ever known and you could have access as a lobby for the big buck clients you extort.

Politicker reports that the dispute concerns the 74-year-old D’Amato’s role trying to broker peace between “warring factions” of New York state Republicans, following a request from Erie County Conservative Party chairman Ralph Lorigo. Lorigo is backing primary challengers to GOP state Senators Mark Grisanti and George Maziarz. In return, Maziarz is trying to get Lorigo removed from his position. Paladino, who is also backing the primary challengers, appears not to appreciate D’Amato’s efforts.

1. Wow, they sound something out of the Sopranos.

[dionysus]

2. paladino fancies himself a mobster. but he's just a rich republican douchebag.

[freshwest]

3. He's so crude! Isn't the one who sent around some horse joke or something? UGH! Who voted for him?

[Archae]

5. Yup, he's the one.

Sent around in e-mail racist videos and porn of a woman having sex with a horse.

Paladino obviously doesn't give a damn what damage he does to the GOP, he just wants the attention.
That's all.

[dionysus]

8. i also believe he was holding a baseball bat during a speech, it was his shtick

[freshwest]

12. Yet, who voted for him? Can't imagine a Democrat doing any of that stuff.

[dionysus]

13. he's from my district.. he got a lot of, let us say.. rural votes.

in between rochester and buffalo there's lots of rethugs living out in the country....

14. Growing up the south, watching television coverage of the civil rights marches and all of that...

There was a meme that prejudice and crassness was a regional trait. We were told that the people in the northeast had more education and were more liberal because we had the Kennedy family and others to look up to.

We had Molly Ivins and Ann Richards types in our midst, but we knew the George Wallaces and Strom Thurmonds were our regional curses. I remember being surprised at the race riots in the Boston area

But over the years we learned that sunny California has always had its own brand of reactionaries. Every state has these characters, really. Paladino seems cut from the same cloth as a Nixon or the demagogues other areas are known for.

Yes, the rural demographic is the reason. Their concerns are often dismissed by urbanites, which are often Democratic strongholds. For them, survival is based on relationships that people in cities don't have to cultivate as much, and their desire to escape taxation is because they want to live in the country. There's a price one has to pay to be close to the land and feel that security. They'll give up almost anything to stay there. I can't blame them. So they are against taxes and regulations that they feel will run them off the land. Who wouldn't?

In my experience living in rural areas, I've seen how developers can frame things, using environmental laws not to protect the environment, but to harass and make it difficult for farmers to stay on the land their parents gave them or they purchased.

Then planning groups step in to up to the pressure. Naturally, those people have decrees and professions that profit from their planning. Sometimes it's so open that they are even being paid by the incoming development to make the official report for the city, county or state and away it goes.

When one looks at what is happening, it is coordinated with the developers in master plans to give more living space to people with money who want that land. And then it will be gated communities. I've seen this up close with no financial interest of my own, just participating. It divides communities that were formerly Democratic or mixed politically into antagonistic camps.

There are real abuses with agribusiness, but then there are stealth moves to get people off the land. Their anger and fear has become a culture resisting all things we as city dwellers find rational and democratic. We have our educations, unions, jobs and are mobile for that reason. Many of them don't have that, all they have is the land. They're victimized by the larger landowners, but they are in fief to them for a lot of things. They did not come to these ways of thinking without a reason, but really, such OTT behavior as these louts represent, are likely a show of strength and disdain for city dwellers that they think protects them from intrusion.

Just my humble opinion, there. Sorry for the errors there, but I've been on this post for a while! Forgive me.

4. Sounds about right to me.

6. One low-life bit of slime complaining about the stench wafting from another low-life bit of slime.

7. I heard from a little birdie that Palladino is on Willard's VP short list.

[baldguy]

10. Oh, that would be fun!

Like Dick Cheney without all that charm & intelligence. A Mr. Hyde to Willard's Dr. Jekyll.

9. Al D'Amato -- a real blast from the past

And agree with another poster about the Sopranos. Here we have the Cuomos and D'Amatos vs the Paladinos. You can't make this shit up.

[surrealAmerican]

11. What a delight it is ...

... to see these crooks go after one-another.
