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."

But the slew of emails, obtained by WNYmedia.net, a western New York media company, depict a different side of the candidate. Here are descriptions some of the most eyebrow-raising:

• A December 2008 email showing a video of African tribesmen performing a traditional dance. The video is entitled "Obama Inauguration Rehearsal."

• An October 2009 email with a photograph showing President Obama and the First Lady dressed in 70s-era blaxploitation pimp and prostitute costumes while attending a formal event at the White House.

• A September 2009 email entitled, "Easy Steady Big Fella....XXXX," with a photograph that graphically depicts a horse having sex with a woman.

• A January 2010 email, containing a hardcore pornographic video entitled "Miss France 2008 F(***)ing."

• A July 2009 email showing a photograph of an airplane landing directly behind a group of black men. The caption reads: "Holy Sh*t. run ni**ers, run!"

When one recipient complained about the "Obama inauguration" email, calling Paladino a racist, Paladino responded by apologizing "if that is offensive." He added: "I'm not a racist and have never related Obama's color to my political distaste for him....I'm not sensitive to ethnic humor."

Other emails from Paladino are here. All the emails were either originally sent, or forwarded, by Paladino, WNY confirms. The emails went to a long list of Paladino associates, in local and state government, politics, and business.

10. I'd love to see that crawl on CNN
"Local Teabagger did NOT have sex with his cousin"

"Tea Party official has actually read the Bible - even the New Testament"

3. My e-mail address list went from around 20 to about 5. I repeatedly
asked not to be sent this disgusting filth but they kept coming. I deleted these people from my life, that includes long-life friends and many relatives. This is when you really find out what people are about. They thought it was humorous...I don't want anyone like that in my life...

4. PLUS! Mr. Family Values has a LOVE CHILD!
A controversial conservative businessman who will announce his run for governor Monday fathered a child during an extramarital affair a decade ago.

Buffalo developer Carl Paladino, 63, has been married nearly 40 years to his wife, Cathy.

The two had three grown children together - one of whom died in a car crash last year. It was only after that tragedy that Paladino confessed to his wife he had a secret love child, a now-10-year-old girl. A Buffalo-area source identified the child's mother as Sue Brady, an ex-staffer of Paladino's Ellicott Development company.

"The Paladinos consider this a private family matter and ask all media to respect their privacy," said campaign manager Michael Caputo, who would not confirm the woman's name.

9. Typical GOP/TeaKLAN damage control: "I didn't KNOW it was racist."
Okay, you want us to to buy that? Fine. Then you don't in any way qualify to hold any public office. If you're really that stupid, that obtuse, and that "<in>sensitive to ethnic humor," you're too dumb to govern. (Of course, the TeaKLAN affiliation already confirmed that.)

20. does anyone think a woman willingly has sex with a horse?
That's documentation of a crime that should be investigated.

There should be a presumption of coercion in documentation of sexualized violence. A woman's vagina couldn't safely be penetrated by a horse, so it's assault. If one wants to be absurd and says she does it to "fulfill her sexual agency," then she needs to be hospitalized like any other self-mutilator. But someone filmed that. And those people should be in prison.

27. yeah notice how all the outrage is about the racism; it's as if no one even notices the misogyny.
I'm in Western NY...I'd like to see this creep go off into the sunset with Massey. Perfect pair--to dump off a cliff.

28. gang rape, horses, s and m, lesbian..... strippers, porns, prostitutes. all a norm
Edited on Mon Apr-12-10 02:44 PM by seabeyond
perfectly acceptable for male dominance over female, .... a thing to be used and entertained by our men on both sides of the isle... but by gosh

use the N word, and that is it. enough.

it sure is nice our males with the help of a lot of females have created the female as their whore. that women readily acquiesce to this condition is even more amazing. for a womans worth only to be a fuck is no different from the woman barefoot and in the kitchen.

a couple of decades when we were getting beyond the submissive and males actually being retaught to see us as equals shift to today of women are mens HO's.

good job gals. (love that sex positive feminist) not to impressed with the guys either. thanks.

31. Seriously... cool off.
You're painting with a brush the size of a pushbroom, and trying to tar anyone who doesn't adhere to your standards. Being male isn't the same thing as treating women like whores. Being a woman who enjoys sex isn't the same thing as degrading all women. That's a connection you make in your head, not anyone else.

And is it really that surprising that people would be more offended by massive racism than forwarded porn? Despite your subject line, there's no gang rape, S&M, lesbianism, or prostitutes involved.

37. I think the reason women buy into this condition
or one of the reasons anyway, is that it is the only concept of power and control held out to women, at least as forced on us by the relentless media which surrounds us. If women see no other pathways of expression, no other ways to be accepted or noticed.....

that's how it felt for me, back in my younger days.

the media imagery of women is much more aggressively demeaning and narrow and sexualized now.





and, this (and the other objectification of women thread) is really getting me mad over a work situation that I can't discuss due to confidentiality issues--but I want to s. c. r. e. a. m.
