Carl Paladino, NY state’s newest Republican gubernatorial candidate and a proud member of the Tea Party, has really pissed off Dov. Let me clarify – not THIS Dov, but Dov Hikind, Brooklyn’s representative in the New York State Assembly. I, personally, have not been capable of experiencing anger or fear ever since I donated the amygdala portions of my brain to science, years ago…but thats a topic for a different post. I also hide behind an apolitical facade so that I can make fun of anyone or anything and easily get away with it (and it werks, bytches), so it’ll take more than the ramblings of a simple tea party pooper to grind my political gears. Anyway, Paladino, a while back, compared another State Assembly Speaker to the Anti-Christ and Hitler. This speaker was Jewish, and Hikind likened this insult to the Anti-semitic pogroms of Eastern Europe that led up to the Holocaust:
“Has Paladino read his history? Does he know what Hitler represents? Does he know that Hitler represents ‘The Final Solution,’ the murder of six million men, women and children? Does he realize that when he used that word that he referred to Silver as ‘the Antichrist?’ There’s a long history of pogroms and anti-Semitism all over Eastern Europe, relating to us Jews being the Antichrist, and a man running for the highest position of the State of New York uses that kind of language, approves of someone else using that kind of language? It is unconscionable, it is degrading, it is insulting.”
That was taken directly from this article here:
And here is a list of how Paladino feels on hot political issues, taken from his website:

His opinions are ALL typical right wing/tea party opinions. He’s so predictable. Here’s an example:
“The Ground Zero Mosque is an affront to the American people and an insult to the thousands who died there and the thousands of troops who have been killed and maimed in the ensuing wars.”
Um, not the last time i checked, buddy. Wasn’t there something in there about a public promotion of moderate peaceful Islam?
-5 points to the Tea Party
-7 points to Carl Paladino
+2 points to Dov Hikind
+25 points to this Lower Dens track I’ve been really digging, called “Tea Lights”:
Not sure if it has anything to do with lighting up the Tea Party in anyway cuz I cant make out the lyrics. The lyrics are probably meaningless (like Paladino) but its got a chill vibe, (unlike Paladino).
