Remembering Paladino's Emails

Carl Paladino's emails do not go unnoticed by the Democratic National Committee, which included this graph in their memo to supporters and reporters:

In New York, Republicans emerged with perhaps the most extreme and controversial gubernatorial candidate in recent history as the standard bearer for their party. Rather than a tried candidate with broad name appeal in Rick Lazio, Republicans got Carl Paladino, whose name is best known in the “From” line of dozens of emails with racist and misogynistic slurs and that contain clips of lewd sex acts, including acts of bestiality. Although Paladino’s personal behavior is beyond troubling, it’s how he would translate those beliefs into policy that is truly scary.  The Republican nominee for Governor of New York has proposed turning state prisons into dormitories for welfare recipients so “[he can] teach them personal hygiene.”  And while he wants to fill prisons with struggling New Yorkers hit by the recession, he has promised to gut the state budget and, in so doing, put 60,000 more New Yorkers out of work.
