Springtime For Palladino

June 20, 2022

It is considered by most to be not just hyperbolic, but ugly to frivolously compare an adversary to Hitler. There are very few behaviors that warrant such a singular comparison. So, is it better or worse when someone uses The Hotsy-Totsy Nazi as a role model? And what if that person (having already gotten crushed by Andrew Cuomo – 63% to 33% – in the 2010 gubernatorial election) is now running for national office?

“I was thinking the other day about somebody had mentioned on the radio Adolf Hitler and how he aroused the crowds. And he would get up there screaming these epithets and these people were just — they were hypnotized by him. That's, I guess, I guess that's the kind of leader we need today. We need somebody inspirational. We need somebody that is a doer, has been there and done it.”
  Current Ratpublican candidate for Congress, Carl Paladino, February 13, 2021

Done what exactly, Carl? Killed six million Jews? Is that the kind of inspiration you’re looking for Carl? Couldn’t think of another powerful, influential orator? Ever hear of a guy called Abraham Lincoln? Martin Luther King?

Carl Paladino – at least he’s consistent

Should people be concerned that Elise Stefanik (R-Hell), the third most powerful Ratpublican in the House has endorsed this Hitler fanboy? Or should we brush Stefanik off due to her consistent full-throated election denial? Or should we just be scared shitless at where the Ratpublican party now resides and wants us all to move in with them…whether or not we want to?
