New York businessman Carl Paladino, a surrogate for Donald Trump’s
presidential campaign, said Wednesday the billionaire mogul is the
“exterminator” voters are choosing to get “the raccoons out of the
basement.”
Dog whistle? No. Train whistle maybe.
exterminator
Words like “raccoon”, to a racist fool like Paladino, must sound subtle. But, I’m more interested in his selection of vermin extermination for his metaphor as it so directly connects to that great Trump media unmentionable, Nazis.
‘Paladino, is no stranger to controversy. While running as the tea party alternative to Democrat Andrew Cuomo in the gubernatorial race, dozens of emails surfaced with racist references to President Obama and sexually graphic content…’ THIS will help The Donald’s image among sane people…uh huh.
And, of course, old fashioned slang for Black people was…
Coons.
Isn’t this the dude, that reporters were saying lost the race for Governor of New York, 30 seconds after the polls closed?
“And the polls have just closed in New York and CBS is calling the gubernatorial race for Andrew Cuomo.”
I heard the interview and the guy was practically spraying saliva into the phone. When he got to the illegitimate government and Obama hating America, I knew we were headed into the depths. He did not disappoint.
Just in case you were wondering just how many votes Trump would lose New York by in the general election.
I cannot wait for Paladino and Palin to hit the campaign trail. I just wonder how good they’ll look with the dog muzzles the Trump campaign will have to put over their frothing mouths.
“Raccoons”? Can’t wait for the jokes about fags and spics and abortion-seeking whores, too, Carl baby! BTW, how’s that Republican outreach campaign working out, Reince?
Turns out Paladino has been using this phrase for days, if not weeks, to refer to the Obama administration. He must be very proud of himself.
Heard the interview this morning getting ready for work. As soon as he said “raccoons” the interview was quickly ended. I assumed out of fear that it would only get worse.
I wish I lived in a country where people with a history of hateful and racist remarks were simply not invited onto mainstream radio and TV for interviews. I don’t see a problem with such behavior ending the privileged of appearing on mainstream media.
After this campaign how will Donald Trump be treated by those who decide what and who we see and hear on mainstream media. My guess is he will be showered in fawning and legitimizing attention for the rest of his days paying no price at all for the hate he is fomenting, none of which will ever be mentioned.
Of course I thought Rudy Guilliani should have forfeited his right to be legitimized on MSM and he’s still a fixture as if his more outrageous lies never left his lips.
Prior to deregulation, radio & TV were liable for comments broadcast on their airwaves when not inside a legitimate news broadcast.
Ol’ Carl had some of the most racist and vile e-mails you’d ever want to see.
-
An e-mail of African tribesmen dancing labeled
“Obama Inauguration Rehearsal” -
An e-mail of a woman and a man having sex labeled “Miss France 2008
Fucking.” -
An e-mail of President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama portrayed as a
pimp and a prostitute. -
An e-mail of an airplane landing near black men with the caption “Holy
shit! Run, niggers, run!”
When WNYMedia.com caught his racist ass and published them back in 2010, a furious Paladino called it “another liberal blog smear job.”
Apparently posting what you do or say is ‘a smear job.’
I listened to this interview this morning. You could almost hear the host saying to himself “Why in the hell did the producers think this whackjob deserved time on this show?!”
But think what it does for his standing with the KKK (not to mention the CCC).
“Paladino blamed the media for highlighting the candidate’s flaws.”
Not the Candidate, you know, for having and pushing forward with them?
Well… how very racist (ie Republican) of him…
Isn’t this the racist pig who wanted to turn vacant prisons in upstate New York into public housing, along with a plan to move some of “those people” out of the city and into his new work farm?
Or do I have the wrong New York racist pig?
Yeah, well, now he’s on our school board here. That’s working out about as well as you would imagine. I hear there’s an 18 year old running against him this year.
Teabaggers HATE being called out for the racists that they are and THIS guy is exhibit A. But he’s not alone.
EVERY time I get a Teabagger in front of me who belligerently demands I name an instance of where Teabaggers are racist, I bring up this dude. And Teabaggers fire back with the same objection; every damn time. ‘Well, he’s only ONE guy.’ As if this is a minimal problem in Teabagger circles.
What they DON’T know is that I have others:
Like Mark Williams, who made racist blog posts saying Muslims worshiped a monkey god or called New York legislators he didn’t like, ‘judenrats.’ Which is a term describing Jews in World War II who collaborated with the Nazis. Williams used to be a spokesman for the Teabaggers.
Or Bryan Fischer. Before he got his kooky ass fired in January of last year, Fischer was the director of issues analysis for the American Family Association. Fischer’s hobby horse is Muslims. He even once claimed that the First Amendment does not apply to them, only Christians.
But even before gay marriage was legalized, Fischer, who still has a radio program, uses it to bang on The Gays every chance he gets, saying goofy shit like Hitler got The Gays to do his dirty work in the Death Camps cause ‘everybody knows’ they’ll stop at nothing.
Never mind the fact that Gays were one of the groups Hitler ALSO wanted to gas.
