Carl Paladino Threatens To “Take Out” New York Post State Editor

video
» 116 comments

GOP candidate Carl Paladino, who has been in the news for some, uh, interesting reasons this week, but tonight took it to a whole new level.

Paladino nearly came to blows with longtime New York Post state editor Fred Dicker, and after he was separated, he threatened to “take out” the journalist. And that’s not all.

Capital Tonight reporter Kaitlyn Ross captured the dust-up. The NY governor race candidate accuses Dicker of being a supporter of his opponent, Andrew Cuomo, and calls him a “stalking horse.” Then, “I’ll take you out, buddy,” he tells Dicker. “You gonna take me out?” asks Dicker. “How you gonna do that?” “Watch,” Paladino responds, before walking away.

Here’s more from the Capital Tonight blog:

The candidate for governor and journalist are shown having a confrontation over Dicker allegedly sending a photographer to follow around the 10-year-old daughter Paladino fathered outside his marriage. The Buffalo businessman called Dicker a “stalking horse” for his Democratic gubernatorial opponent, Andrew Cuomo.

Michael Caputo, Paladino’s campaign manager, tried to diffuse the situation with some levity, saying: “Fred, you’re out of line, you’re off the Christmas card list.”

Oh no! Off the Christmas card list!

Later in the showdown, Caputo goes after Dicker. “You’re working for Cuomo,” says Caputo. “And you’re a terrible journalist.”

There’s a lot more. New York state politics, everybody…

Here’s the confrontation:

    Take him out, Carl!

    I love this! It’s about damn time. There is no doubt the media is in the tank for democrats — all of them, Cuomo included. I’m pumped up that Paladino and/or his surrogates take on the liberal media. Good for him – more of this please.

    Afterall, Obama just yesterday claimed FNC was “destructive” and the liberal media is all gaga over Obama taking on FNC. A republican takes on the press and the media is shocked, I tell you, shocked.

    As I said: More of this please. Next step, laugh in their faces pubbies. Just tell the media where to stuff it and then laugh at their inability to report fairly to the public.

    this statement (even if taken out of context) doesn’t look good for Carl, especially when taken into consideration his past relationships to the mafia in Buffalo

    I shudder to think what kind of obscene racist porn Paladino sends out for the holidays.

    Obama criticized an institution, Paladino told a reporter he would take him out… If you support Paladino you support psychotic behavior… A trend for him…

    Following around a 10 year old girl to smear somebody? Holy shit that is sad and pathetic. Is Carl a little bit out there, yeah. Does he over react, yeah. Can anybody blame him for being angry that they are following around his 10 year old daughter? Its no different if you did it to the President’s daughter or his, its still a 10 year old girl, truly pathetic. It doesnt matter how outlandish a candidate is, you dont bring children into it.

    Did it enter your tiny pea brain that maybe a reporter wanted to interview the mistress and it just so happens the little girl lives there too?

  • paul1149

    Paladino would do very well to realize that the people of NYS need an alternative to Cuomo, not a clone. Cuomo’s worse than Paladino, but he’s shrewd enough to do his dirty work under cover.

    Pal – be tough, but get smarter. A lot smarter.

  • writer

    Cuomo would’ve simply put a horse head in the guy’s bed. More subtle, but it gets the point across.

  • writer

    Not that all Italians would do that.

  • roadmouth

    @ImJustThatDamnGood, Are you just ignorant or a liar? Perhaps both.

    Paladino takes absolutely no action to physically harm anyone, yet you call him and all conservatives violent?

    Meanwhile Democrat Congressman Bob Etheridge actually does violently assault young reporters.

    Your meme is dead. We will see you in November.

  • roxsteady

    Oh please! Does this idiot know that the New York Post is owned by RUPERT MURDOCH? You know, the guy who owns FOX NEWS? Paladino is hysterical. The typical teabagger, wingnut candidate. I wonder if he’ll win?
    Cuomo is going to kick his low rent ass! Oh, and nice campaign staff. Just wait until Mediaite posts the clip from tonight’s Rachel Maddow show. Unless they go with the teabagger coloring book?

  • axel360

    Man this guy just cant catch a break at all. Everyone seems to just relentlessly attack him because hes so new. Makes you wonder why Obama never got the same treatment when he first came up. The sad thing is that here in NY, we hardly ever see any negative ads or articles about Cuomo (except in The New York Post). The Post hates Cuomo and I thought they would be on Paladino’s side. Guess the Post found their cover story for the morning

    Looks to me like it was the bald dude who started it, got in his face repeatedly, was pointing his finger in his face, and fighting with the people who were trying to pull him back.

    And it is creepy stalking a 10 year old, following them around. Especially when his wife already knew.

    “Carl Paladino, who appears to actually have a chance of snagging the seat away from Andrew Cuomo” That pretty much explains it all there, no? I mean, because the media didn’t care about John Edwards and his love child.

    I don’t know why Paladino is the one taking the hit in this situation….Dicker was acting like a well, dicker.

    I am truly sorry that the facts don’t support your position, but I am surprised you are not accustomed to that, yet. I am content to conclude that both Palopinto and Senator Edwards are lowlife scum, not the lowlife scum of Nappie Vitter, but scum nonetheless. I should think that truth would be adequate for you as well. I guess advancing the Tea Party agenda is more important to you than the truth or than making sure we have candidates of class, substance and integrity. Then, again, you don’t live in the US.

  • sarainitaly

    RRk, lacking in facts, and a whole lot more.

    “Meg Whitman sued by ex-maid.”

    Now there’s a piece of junk story. She is suing Whitman saying she was treated like *garbage* only because she was fired after nine years of service. She claims Meg knew she was illegal, and then sues her? She should be thanking her for employing her for nine years, despite being illegal!

    Her story doesn’t make sense.

    Allred said her client had been “exploited, disrespected, humiliated and emotionally and financially abused.” What a load of crap. The maid was upset she was let go, after Whitman found out she was illegal.

    And why should Democrats be using this to smear Meg, anyway? They want illegals to be able to stay. why would they be mad if someone hired one. Do they just want illegals to be in the country, but not working?

    Total smear.

    No, it makes perfect sense. In fact, it happens with some frequency among the well-to-do. Hire someone undocumented, then underpay them and abuse them because of the leverage this gives you. Fire them, because, I mean, what are they going to do? Unfortunately for Ms. Whitman, who has a long, documented history of abusing subordinates, malicious firings and a generally repulsive, arrogant demeanor, her victim found a competent attorney.

    Why do you so depise a woman working very hard to support her family and herself? I think it’s rather ugly.

    Democrats have been the ruling the majority in NYS for as long as I can remember. This is ALREADY a virtual one-party state. It’s people like you, who feel that politicians have the divine right to saddle taxpayers with the state’s 54 billion debt; that allow for unions to raise the cost of our education and healthcare system; and keep the likes of Charles Rangel on the dough. It’s PEOPLE LIKE YOU who is PRESERVING the one-party state and think citizens should continue to serve their tax money on a silver platter to big spending crooks in Albany. And now you want to top that off by perpetuating Mario Cuomo’s dynasty? So we’re going from One-Party State to a Kingdom?

    Have you not been paying attention to the NY state senate? It’s been stupidly gridlocked because there are almost as many Republicans as there are Democrats and none of them are working together. Were you paying attention a year ago when the simple party switch of two self-serving Democrats pulled the already borderline stagnant state government to a halt? I don’t know what state you live in, but Republicans actually have a fair amount of power on the state level in New York.

    That’s not belief and that’s not ‘divine right’. It’s simple civics. The government gets its revenue from taxes. If there is a state debt, then of course taxes will be used to seal the gap. What else can they use when all of their money comes from taxes.

    RRk, lacking in facts, and a whole lot more. “Meg Whitman sued by ex-maid.” Now there’s a piece of junk story. She is suing Whitman saying she was treated like *garbage* only because she was fired after nine years of service. She claims Meg knew she was illegal, and then sues her? She should be thanking her for employing her for nine years, despite being illegal! Her story doesn’t make sense. Allred said her client had been “exploited, disrespected, humiliated and emotionally and financially abused.” What a load of crap. The maid was upset she was let go, after Whitman found out she was illegal. And why should Democrats be using this to smear Meg, anyway? They want illegals to be able to stay. why would they be mad if someone hired one. Do they just want illegals to be in the country, but not working? Total smear.

    and where did you get this information from? Are you under suponea in the case? Are you a witness?

    No, just a misinformational lie-monger.

    When someone’s family is thrown into the frey, it’s time to get mad dog mean about it, and Paladino was reacting to this scumbag’s remarks.

    What? You say it’s OK to attack/besmirch/ridicule Paladino’s kid because he’s a Republican? Yep, what I thought, dual standards.

    Phony name? That just shows how much of an idiot you are! Real world? Real people? If I hide behind a phony name then how do you know anything about my life? Aren’t you contradicting yourself? In that same vein you say there is “no such thing as a reasonable lib” therefore further emphasizing your narrow minded, sophomoric, single-party view! No liberals with a sense of humor?

    Jesus was the most ‘liberal’ guy in history and if he came back the GOP would surely call him ‘socialist.’

    the NY Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch, so these teabaggers calling it a ‘liberal journalist’ are the exact simpletons the GOP needs to keep redistributing wealth to the upper 2%.

    This was a case of sleazy right wing media stalking a sleazy right wing candidate’s illegitimate daughter, who’s parentage was denied by said candidate.

    The media pretty much shoved Senator Breck Girl’s illegitimate daughter down our throats. He will rot in the same obscurity Carl deserves.

    And if any of these Palladino defenders have seen the racist, woman-hating, beastiality-video attachment emails he sent, and still choose to support him, then I weep for the Republic.

    NO, I read the maid’s statements, and saw the employment documents that she filled out. Also, even if she was illegal, and Meg knew it, she is a loser for now suing Meg. She employed her for 9 years, and the woman was happy, until she was let go. Democrats are trying to smear Whitman for doing something they want to do – give illegals jobs.

    You’re just an uniformed hatemonger.

    How was Jesus a liberal? I don’t recall Him preaching entitlement programs or government control, and I certainly don’t recall Him arguing that everyone should have equal stuff. He did talk a lot about charity, but charity is a much more conservative venture, and liberals aren’t real big on God’s law, another big topic for Jesus. What’s so liberal about Jesus?

    A tea bagger talking about the bible or Jesus, ok! Liberal, the same as conservative, is not a bad term. The actions and lines drawn are what matters. Jesus, taught that everyone is the same, share, give, love, peace. He didn’t want the money changers in the temple to control and take money from the poor ! His followers were told to lay down your money and come with me. The poor were the same as kings. Feed all the people ,take care of the sick! Can conservatives live within the bible yes, most do, but don’t say Jesus was void of being Liberal !

    Carl “Tony Soprano” Paladino should be in jail for threatening to kill a New York Post reporter. In many states, like the state of Georgia, what he said violates state law. It is considered a terrorist threat. Only a dumb person would make such a threat. I cannot believe that some posters here are ignorant to believe that this kind of behavior is acceptable in America. Death threats are not protected as free speech under the 1st Amendment. This guy is nothing but a thug.

    I thought he was a Prince or something like that. Is’t it called the Kingdom of God? If Jesus was Liberal he would be against God, You know, anti- establishment and all that.. O wait. Now you Liberal kids call yourselves progressives. So I guess Jesus would be for clearing out rain forest and taring peoples houses down building infrastructure for his Kingdom, and of course his Liberal subjects would worship him and especially his father, because liberals are all for kneeling before a higher power, right?

    had Paladino been black and poor the police would have been called and an arrest would have been made and a felon charge or two would have also been made… this nation can not afford something so weak minded as Paladino to hold any office…since a threat was made to kill someone …I believe the DA should check the where about of all the enemies of Paladino…the threat this very rich man made should be taken seriously…for the idea of cement shoes keeps coming to mind and yes this Dr. Strange Paladino would it…prove me wrong

    there is a limitation to the word liberal and Jesus…Jesus would be against abortion

  • timcajun

    Jesus would be against abortion, true, but the rest of this non-liberal status is an out of text use of the word, relating to the meaning made up by the tea party. It is silly to state that his actions were not liberal by a correct use of the word! To stop the crazies, the conservatives can do good works also!
