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:

4. Yay, ANOTHER one.
That's one thing about the Obama presidency - it's caused this rot to rise to the surface where it's harder to ignore.

9. Oh, I did nt know and did not investigate
I have a relative that started that rw tea stuff on my fb page..I wrote back and tried to be polite, since I really did not want to stir things up before going home.
My grandpa and stepgrandma are still alive and are very old and starting to fail. I would rather not have to fight with them. I have reached the point where I would as soon dump a truck load of pigshit on their lawns as deal with bullshit out of them.

14. "....stay within our own species"
As opposed to extending it to "consenting mammals"

13. Joanne, nice one. k*r
Just sit back ... :popcorn:

If he were a fundamentalist, he'd be scorned by his followers for the porn and naughty language.
But it's up for grabs with the Tea Party crew. He may get offers to share porn and have dirty
Skype calls with some of his fellow blowhards (no pun intended :evilgrin:)
