Carl Paladino Walks Out On Interview From Conservative Bashing Website Talking Points Memo

I mean really, I know he's behind like 20 points in the polls and has little chance of winning tomorrow, but that doesn't mean he has to put up with so-called "reporters" with a radically-Left agenda to push:

New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino (R) walked out on a local television interview in Plattsburgh, New York on Friday evening after the anchor asked him whether his comments about Sen. Kirsten Gillbrand (D) were sexist. Paladino had called New York’s junior Senator “[Schumer's] little girl” on Thursday, in reference to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D). 

When asked if he regretted the comments or thought they were sexist, Paladino said, “No, I don’t. I was referring to the fact that Miss Gillbrand seems to vote exactly as Mr. Schumer directs her to. She doesn’t show any mind of her own in voting. And that’s why I referred to her that way.”

When pressed as to whether he thought it was a sexist statement or whether it could hurt his outreach to women, Paladino said, “Well, you can make it whatever you want, Kristen.”

When the reporter tried to continue the interview with what seemed to be a question about how Paladino’s many insensitive remarks were causing rifts with the Republican party, Paladino decided it was time for him to ask the questions. “Are we going to talk issues, or am I leaving you right now?” he asked.

She countered that she thought her questions were about issues, to which Paladino responded by wishing her a good night, taking out his earpiece and mumbling, “I think we’re done talking to this lady.” The Buffalo News reported that, off-camera, Paladino told his aides, “”She wants to talk trash, she can talk to somebody else.”

Carl Paladino Isn't "Homophobic", He's Just Totally Inept

It's whats gotten lost in this recent theater over his supposed "anti-gay" comments the other day. What with New York state politics being in a state of total disarray for the last few years, thanks to corrupt Democrats from Eliot Spitzer to Charles Rangel to Alan Hevesi to the Democrat-controlled Congress that has shut government down numerous times, Carl Paladino was given a clear path to step in and use his pulpit as reformer promising to bring about major change. But no, instead he's screwed himself and any chance of winning the governor's race with a temper that he can't seem to control and bold, powerful statements that he ends up running away from because he can't handle the heat.

When Paladino spoke out about the Left's attempts to "brainwash" kids into normalizing homosexuality he was speaking from his heart and to his conservative base. Of course the gay lobby and all their minions in the press were going to try to twist his words and attempt to smear him, it's what they do all the time. But Paladino could've (and should've) withstood the storm and exposed the smear merchants for who they are--partisan scum who continue to turn a blind eye to how much damage Democrats have done to the state of New York lately.

Then too, most Americans don't care about what people want to do in the privacy of their homes. Most Americans are against bigotry of any kind. It's just that there's an overbearing minority in this country that doesn't care about morals or values, that try to falsify or ignore gender differences, that want to recognize and give public benefits to people that have made an alternative lifestyle choice all the while corrupting and confusing our children. That's what Carl Paladino was speaking to when he made that statement about gays, but now Paladino looks like a fool for allowing the Left to not only backtrack from his speech, but apologize for it and change the message from the issues that are really concerning New Yorkers. Paladino has every right to speak his mind and cater to his base, but if he can't handle the backlash that comes with speaking on social issues then he should keep his mouth shit on them and concentrate on a party that has long taken its supporters for granted, has used gov't for their own selfish needs, done little to nothing about unemployment and turned our state into a laughingstock. Yet the idiot that is Carl Paladino can't even do that right, despite the road being laid out just for him.
