Russell Simmons in the Middle of Political Tug of War

   

*The campaign for governor of New York got a little uglier this weekend, when Republican candidate Carl Paladino made some anti-gay slurs. According to reports, he said that children are “brainwashed” into a homosexuality.

But his camp isn’t too worried because they have some dirt on the others, claiming Andrew Cuomo is Anti-Semitic. Paladino’s bit of dirt is that Cuomo is friends with Russell Simmons and once took a trip to Palestine.

“Cuomo names Russell Simmons, a supporter of anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, a ‘senior black advisor’ to his campaign,” the document says. It goes on to craft an attack that because the super-successful hip-hop entrepreneur hosted Farrakhan and his sons at his home in lower Manhattan last year, he must somehow be prejudiced.

“Paladino had a premeditated plan to disseminate false and vicious rumors,” responded Cuomo spokesperson John Vlasto. “His hypocrisy knows no bounds as he falsely tries to smear someone as anti-Semitic when he himself refers to a Jewish elected official as a Hitler and an antichrist. That’s why Paladino’s campaign is being called one of the dirtiest in the country.”

Simmons has been laying under the radar lately, but he was last talked about when he used the windows of a penthouse facing Ground Zero as an art display to encourage religious tolerance.

    Paladino is off his rocker. The only thing he’ll prove is that he’s nuts and is ready for the straight jacket and headed straight to Bellevue!!! :cool:

  2. Could it be that Paladino is actually a plant by the left to discredit the Republicans?
    Now seriously, think about it. He’s obviously not running a campaign with any intention of winning. Which serious candidate would be sending bestiality videos, threatening a reporter that he is going to take him out and then trying to pick a fight with the gays. Now this Russell Simmons Farrakhan Cuomo anti Semite connection?! He had to know that no one would buy that. He can’t be that stupid. It’s all staged for a purpose.

    I heard that the guy is like twenty points behind. He knows he has no chance of winning, but these antics could affect the Republicans in other races.
    Why would anyone do that to their own party? The shit doesn’t add up.
