mr. paladino saying mr. paladino goes farther than other candidates have. >> you are one of the first politicians to come to this community in 30 years, you are not the first one to make this kind of a speech. but for this alone, deserve -- spiritually, you deserve, and we plead and pray to god. this is not a political get-together, this is a get-together of prayer. we plead with god, be able to raise our children in holiness. that's what this is about. >> and in a clip levin posted on his website yesterday, a joke about mr. paladino firing his campaign manager turns into a joke about gay marriage. >> michael, you're fired. [ inaudible ] >> my wife, it's a she. >> with us tonight, josh marshall, founder and editor of talking points memo. good to see you, josh. what are the politics mr. paladino associating himself with extremist religious figures like those? >> here we don't call them extremist religious figures, we call them the rabbis that live out in brooklyn. this is sort of like a regular things that pol

mr. paladino, backtracking a little bit off those remarks, saying they weren't necessarily anti gay. and then, of course, on the "today" show today, just this morning, he came out and he said that he has no problem with homosexuality, his only reservation has to do with marriage. so he's offering a number of different explanations for why he said these remarks. but look, they're on camera, be tony. >> yeah. >> pictures and sound. you know, don't lie. that's for sure. >> well, when you offer a number of explanations, it's difficult for anyone to know what you really believe here. so -- but this isn't the first time this candidate has raised eyebrows, is it? >> no. you know, mr. paladino certainly has a penchant for saying pretty bottom bass particular things, and a week ago accused a new york post reporter of sending newspaper photographers to the house of his daughter, his daughter who he had had out of wedlock to take pictures.

mr. paladino? aladino thinks that god made everybody straight and kids get brainwashed into homosexuality. paladino continued to psycho talk this morning on the "today" show. this is how he described what he saw at a gay pride parade. >> young children should not be exposed to that at a young age. they don't understand and it's a very difficult thing. and exposing them to -- to homosexuality especially at a gay pride parade and i don't know if you've ever been to one, but they wear these little speedos and they grind against each other and it's just a terrible thing. >> ignorance and hate drips off this guy. he is very angry. paladino made these ugly comments the same weekend new yorkers learned about a gang in the bronx brutalizing and torturing young gay man and two others. the national gay and lesbian task force slammed paladino's commentses as "hurtful and dangerous in a time when antilesbian, gay, bisexual has risen." i think that he's smack-dab in the mainstream of the republican party. paladi

mr. paladino should not be surprised in the media's interest in his family. he says he has invited public scrutiny of his personal life by running for governor and speaking openly about his mistress and love child, end quote. your reaction, sir. >> what does that mean? the children are combatants -- the children are open game? is that what we have evolved to? is that what the new york supposed * has evolved to? who does this man think he is? that's not proper and i think the people of the state of new york agree with me. megyn: you have been open about the fact that while you were married you had an extramarital relationship and conceived a daughter and this other woman gave birth to that daughter who is now 10 and you have been open with the public about it and you have since become open with your wife and family. she is parts of your family now. what do you say to those who say that makes her somehow fair game

mr. paladino in a moment. first, david muir is here with the story. >> comments came during a campaign stop in brooklyn, carl paladino saying among other things that children should not be brainwashed. and these remarks do come right after that brutal hate crime right here in new york city, a crime that police believe could be among the worst in this city's history. >> reporter: the anti-gay remarks making front page headlines this morning were delivered by new york republican gubernatorial candidate carl paladino during a visit to a brooklyn synagogue. >> i did march in the gay parade this year. gay pride parade this year. my opponent did. and that's not exactly the example that we should be showing our children and certainly not in our schools. >> reporter: the audience, a group of orthodox jewish leaders, applaud. >> don't misquote me as wanting

mr. paladino's statement displays a stunning home mow phobia and a glaring disregard for basic equality. he is unfit to represent new york. mr. paladino says this is what he feels as a catholic and he feels most new yorkers agree with him. >>> democrat elect jenulia attacked republican mark kirk both accusing each other of lying, doing business with mobsters and driving up the nation's deficit. jenulius attacked kirk saying his opponent has told several lies during the campaign from facts about his military service to calling himself a hawk. >> he says he's a fiscal hawk. look, the cobman has told some real womaners during this campaign, but that may be the biggest one of all. >> however, he was put on the defensive when david gregory questioned him about loans him family's failed bank made to crime figures. >> did you know that they were crime figures that your bank was lending money to? >> we didn't know the extent of that activity. if you look at any bank, an even bigger bank, you're going to find hundreds of individuals -- >> that's not what i'm asking. did you know they were crime f

mr. paladino was way out of line.e at anybody or anything that gets in his way. >> eric: fred dicker with the "new york post." the newspaper is owned by the parent company of this network. i've known him for decades. he's a respected, but also kind of feared, you know, hard-charging, you know, reporter. >> well, we don't ever want to say that a reporter shouldn't be hard-charging. i mean quite frankly, i could never say that with a straight face. but there is a way to do it. and i think, i mean even his colleagues in the "new york times" and other papers said that he was very aggressive. i don't think it's just because he works for a republican newspaper. i don't think it really gets into that at all. >> eric: some wouldn't say that "new york post" is a republican newspaper. may be -- >> that may be many paladino's view, of course. . >> eric: on the editorial page. go ahead. >> paladino has been swearing, four-letter wording people, shaking his finger, threatening, "i'm going to take you out." what does that mean? he

mr. paladino used was brain washing. think the dirty little secret of the republican party is that they are all thinking what paladino was saying. bachmann, coulter, pal lad dean know, they want gay people to take a back seat in the bus for the american dream. three weeks from tonight, bachmann and the republican party plan to take america back, i guess you could say you to the 1800s. my next guest is going to do what he can to help stop that from happening. joining us now is minnesota congressman keith ellison. keith, good to have you with us tonight. we want to point out before this interview that mr. paladino has just released a statement, somewhat apologizing. "yesterday, i was handed a script, i redacted some contents that were unacceptable. i did also say some things for which i should have chosen better words. i said other things that the press misinterpreted and misstated. i sincerely apologize for any comment that may have offended the gay and lesbian community or their family members. any reference to branding a

mr. paladino.emned him, including andrew como, the democratic come knee, who is running against him in new york for governor. >> speaking of which, what is the latest polling on that race? >> 14 points, if you look at the new cnn corporation "time" magazine poll from last week. so mr. cuomo has a commanding lead, so a tough fight to win the governorship in new york, which is traditionally a democratic state, tony. >> the ultimate bit of context. good to see you, thank you, sir. thanks for your help on this. >>> president obama pushes an infrastructure plan, the administration says will create badly needed jobs and put americans back to work. the president is trying to convince congress to approve $50 billion to rebuild roads, bridges and railways. he unveiled the plan last month, made another pitch for today after meeting with mayors and governors. the president says the infrastructure is outdated and in need of repair. >> our future has never been predestined. it has been built on the hard work an

mr. paladino's statements are dangerous. they are outrageous, but worse, they are dangerous.hink of it if you're a young boy or girl in new york and struggling with realizing you're day. and you live in a household where maybe your parents are going to vote for carl paladino. now the man who is running for governor on the republican ticket, something your parents support, says you are not worthy. says you areless than everybody else, says you have been brainwashed. what is that child going to take in? what type of pain is that going to cause that child? he can say he doesn't want to hurt people, but he hurt people. he hurt people by saying that people like me are brainwashed or brainwashers. by saying thatç my family is ls good than anybody else's family. he can pretend it has no impact, but it has an impact even if you are an adult, and it certainly has an impact if you are a child. and think of those young men who thought there was no other option but to end their life, that dying was better than being gay. these are the type of hate speeches that cause that type of self-l

mr. huckabee. this is paladino hinting that he has proof that his opponent mr. cuomo has cleated on his wife. at the appropriate time, okay, say whatever we have in our box at the appropriate time. yes. >> so you're not backing off that allegation. it is -- you do believe that andrew cuomo did have extramarital affairs when he was married? >> what i believe and what is factual out there we will at the appropriate time put out, yes. >> karen hunter, do new yorkers care about this? >> unfortunately they might but this is where paladino i think made a mistake and i think made a critical error. he would have had us on his side you know with the daughter and now you're turning around and doing the very same thing that you're accusing the media of doing. you're throwing money rat andrew cuomo and this should be the issues, right? if you have a strong platform how about running on that. i'm sick of tired of people are doing in their bed bath & beyond rooms. how are you going to fix our economies, our school system, how you are going to make this system greater. i don't care who is cheating on their

mr. paladino should not be surprised by the media interest in his families, using t using the plural. andrew cuomo said we have not and will not descend in the gutter with paladino. the people of new york deserve a better dialogue from the candidates and journalists. in new york, i'm eric shawn. fox news. >> chris: now across the map to california, where four house democrats are a major target of the g.o.p. this fall. chief political correspondent carl cameron shows us how the golden state fits in the battle for control of the house. >> california's economy is a mess. unemployment is up to 14% in worst areas making it worse for nancy pelosi who is from the goldp state. they need 39 to oust her as speaker. they cast her as the wicked witch of the west. california has 53 congressional districts, more than any other state. 33 are democratic, 19 is republican and one is vacant. in orange county, democratic loretta sanchez is vulnerable after a spanish language interview she injected national origin in the call pain.

mr. paladino, welcome back, good to see you. if you are elected governor of new york, will you active le re lere -- actively recruit gays in. >> wherever their expertise might be, we'll put them in our government. >> and it doesn't matter if those people talk about being openly gay, even if they have been brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid sexual option? >> that remark has to do with schooling children. my feelings on homosexuality are unequivocal, i have absolutely no problem with it whatsoever. my only reservation is marriage. that's the only reservation i have. i have a lot of homosexuals working in my organization. >> but you didn't say that you don't want children to be brainwashed into thinking that gay marriage is an equally valid or successful option, you said to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option. first of all an option, if it's not equally valid or successful, is it a stupid option? >> the discrimination against homosexuals is horrible,

mr. paladino for evidence. the bleeped word as you shall note is the "f" word. >> do you have any evidence of that? and if you don't, isn't that going into the gutter? >> a guy who spent a guy part of his life in the gutter should think twice about trying to characterize me. you're a lawyer. you've heard the term. i'm also a lawyer that -- >> what evidence do you have for something that most people on would consider a smear? >> i want to know why you sent your goons after my daughter? i want to know, fred. >> your charge about cuomo, do you have the evidence or not? >> at the appropriate time, i -- >> do you have it? >> yes. >> you have three daughters. >> i have a daughter too, fred! >> you brought it out. >> that's it. >> stay away from me. >> [ bleep ]. >> what evidence do you have? >> say that one more time. >> guys, easy. >> no, come on. >> don't touch me. who are you? who the hell are you? i'm asking a question. do you have any evidence to the charge you made? >> at the appropriate time, you'll get it. >>

mr. paladino's made-up dooms day scenario has been going on full force.her attempted to kill americans in aftering a. 86 years. four men charged with conspiring. still on trial as is alleged embassy bomber. when he was first transferred to the u.s. from gitmo, minority leader john boehner called it the first step in the democrat's plan to support terrorism in america. mayor giuliani. of the 437 cases of terrorism since 9/11, 2 # 57 of those were resolveded in court, 218 of those ended in convictions or guilty police. meanwhile the military one has resulted in 4 convictions. as to the theatrics, reporting from "the new york times," those brave enough to walk around the courthouse last week -- many have no idea anything out of the ordinary was going on because nothing out testify ordinary was going on. time now to call in the washington editor of "mother jones magazine" david korn. we'll get to mr. pal oh dino and his abundant wisdom in a moment, but as to the terror trials, what has gone on in no, over the last couple of weeks finally put an end to whateve

mr. paladino, here's what you want to say -- >> i read it beforehand and crossed off that remark about dysfunctionalat is not me. period. >> that's actually my favorite line, because disfunctional heterosexuals are just fabulous, right? >> i mean, eliot spitzer, you're a politician, a former politician. did you ever just walk into an event and say, here, read this? >> no. first of all, you don't do that. you read things, you think about them. you act according to the -- he's running for governor of new york. he's got to know what he's going to say. you don't walk into any setting and just read your script. i think he said he read is quickly. this is not a campaign that anybody should be running these days. there are serious issues in new york people are willing to listen to new voices talk about. this is simply not the way to run a campaign that's going to lead to him being taken seriously. >> there's hardly any way for him to dig himself out of that hole. he should stop talking. >> when he won the republican primary a couple weeks ago it was open for him to define himself to the state of new york.

mr. paladino at last count down by 18 point. o'donnell down by 17 points.e running such nutty, cuckoo for cocoa puffs campaigns. this could be a nice way to pay your rent or make money off your special interests. running for office has become a racket. >>> when "the new york times" asked christine o'donnell who in the senate she most admires, the answer she gave was surprising. the first senator was jim demint. nothing unusual there. the south carolina republican endorsed her campaign for senate and is probably as far right in his conservative beliefs as she is herself. so that wasn't the surprise. that made sense. the surprise was what o'donnell told reporter mark leibovich a few seconds later. quoting from the article. after a few more seconds, she mentioned hillary rodham clinton, who left the senate almost two years ago. quoting ms. o'donnell, she is a woman in a man's world holding her own. as one woman also taking some flack, i deeply admire that. okay. but you know hillary clinton's not in the senate anymore, right? what was odd in the "new york time

mr. paladino's mass e-mails were obtained by wnymedia.net. this one was sent in october of 2009.ent a video called obama inauguration rehearsal. it's no longer online, but you can see by this screen grab it was, in fact, video of a tribal dance in africa. another e-mail featured this picture of a group of black men running from a plane. we've blurred the racial slur in the text, but you can and should assume the worst. paladino is also fond of sending mass e-mails of people having sex. which indicates he has a severely underdeveloped sense of discretion for a politician. at least one of his favorite sex videos, which is network believes will disturb your sleep tonight if we show even a second of it, co-stars a woman and a horse. paladino was asked about this earlier today by allen combs and here's what he had to say. >> i apologize to anyone that was offended by what i did. i'm human. i never made out to be anything other than that. i'm your regular guy from buffalo, new york. >> carl, i know regular guys from buffalo, new york. one of my best friends, james cane, is a regular gu

mr. paladino, here's what i want you to say. >> i read it beforehand and crossed out that section.that is not me, period. >> so there you go again. it was the gay pride parade that the cuomos attended. so the new york race is just full of these kinds of incidents. but then you had -- it is not a governors race, it is a senate race, illinois on "meet the press" david gregory did stump both of the candidates, mark kirk on his resumÉ enhancement about his military career, but alsoç jeweljulius about his family bank. let's watch. >> there are individuals with those with colorful pasts we didn't want to do business with. i didn't know the extent of their activity. >> david grabbed him on that and said he didn't know the extent of it. you were a senior loan officer, how did you not know there were crime figures getting loans from the bank. is this damaging? >> reporter: the word extent, it just feeds into the narrative republicans are trying to hit him on, which is the idea that, you know what, he did know of some of the ties that this bank had with some questionable figures, so just an

mr. paladino said on the "today show." but let ne get your thoughts on christine o'donnell. we know what happened in 1999. now she's got pearls and soft muse nick the background. she says i'm just like you. i'm you. does that work? >> she still has a dark ominous background behind her, so i'm not quite sure she solved the problem. but at the end of the day if you're a candidate like her unwilling to go and do any national news and appear on shows like yors, then the only way you can define yourself is through a 30-second ad. if you ask most voters in delaware or anywhere around the country the first thing that springs to mind when they hear her name is witch. in part because of her many, many appearances on bill maher. so many some respects she has to do that because at the end of the day her campaign is i'm you. and most people think witch when they hear her name. >> is it smart to have that i'm not a witch be the first thing out of your mouth in your first general election campaign ad? >> that would not ha been my recommendation. if you have decided that you're not going t

mr. paladino claimed he had not promised mr. dicker to provide evidence of any affairs. >> i respomded that -- because i didn't understand the context of the question. i responded that i would respond at the appropriate time. >> he responded that he would respond? let's go to the videotape. >> do you have the evidence or do you not? >> i will at the appropriate time you can hear it. >> i want to ask you a question. do you have any evidence for the charge you made? >> at the appropriate time you'll get it. >> nevertheless, paladino continued to insist he had only said the media should ask cuomo about possible affairs. >> let me ask you, carl, when do you plan to present the information that you say you have about andrew cuomo because that would -- >> i never said that. i said that i will respond at the appropriate -- at the appropriate time because his question caught me off guard. i didn't know what he was referring to when he said that i have information on andrew cuomo. yeah, i said it in the context of a discussion with maggi

mr. paladino took too much public heat for his comment, reversed his position, and that's when you said the heck with this guy. we're moving on. now -- my didn't say the heck with him. he was a very nice guy and i'm calling for him to repent. i took the press conference to the cardinal's house. >> okay. >> i said he's the man, cardinal, i'm calling on you and the catholic conference, let's help call carl paladino what the position is. >> rabbi, do you think that the kids are being brainwashed? >> well, it's -- i'll tell you, you guys, you media guys. >> i'm asking you. >> you media guys get hung on terminologies. let's call it indoctrinated. tell me if you have children. if your children was imprisoned in the public school where they have to raise their hand to go to bathroom agency they can't oped out of sex ed. and ends up putting condoms on cucumbers when you're around 12 or 13, if you don't think that's indoctrinating and brainwashing and then i think that you have to have your brainwashed. >> okay, well i'll take that as a compliment. >> oh of course you're a good guy. >> let's see i t

mr. cuomo. >> paladino, now famously said, he would take out that reporter, fred dicker. if that same interview, paladino also backed away from allegations he tossed out that his democrat rival, andrew cuomo, had extramarital affairs in the past. paladino saying he only wanted cuomo's personal life to be under the same level of scrutiny as his own, even if he just had to start making crap up. >>> on the other side of the country, meg whitman, california's republican candidate for government is fending off new evidence that she knowingly employed an illegal immigrant housekeeper for nearly a decade. conan nolan has the story. >> reporter: in an extraordinary news conference, gop gubernatorial candidate, meg whitman, with her husband at her side, took questions for 45 minutes on the issue of her former housekeeper insisting she had been given documentation from an employment agency in 2000 indicating that her made was illegally in the country at the time she was hired. only in june of 2009 when diaz admitted to being here illegally let her go. you are not allowed to hire an

mr. paladino. >> it's not just paladino, but it seems like politicians are making a lot of extreme commentsction period. have you noticed that? and why do you think -- even john avalon says there is nothing that's too extreme. >> we are seeing the polarization. of course, you can go back to any election and find the polarization of democrats and republicans but we're seeing that even more so right now. even if you talk to some of the more centrist republicans, there's concern that they feel the real conservative wing of the party, the social conservatives of the party are shifting control of the party more their way. some of that has to do with the tea party influence on the republican side. now, on the democratic side, talk to centrist democrats, and they'll say that the liberals are trying to pull their party a little too far to the left. >> you talk about elections, how are you going to win or lose, in the end, democrats vote for democrats, and republicans vote for republicans, but it's that middle ground that both parties are striving to get. that's how you win elections. that's the vot

mr. paladino did not make that remark, however, it was on his prepared text.homosexuality, his reservation is with marriage. these comments come as the new york police continue to make arrests in that hate crime, that vicious hate crime that we have seen over the weekend. i should tell you quickly that the race for governor in new york is pretty deep. right now andrew cuomo t democrat, has a 14-point lead over mr. paladino. moving on to karl rove had some tough words for president obama. karl rove is telling president obama basically to back off. what this has to do is with president obama and the democratic national committee's criticism of mr. rove suggesting that he is part of a funding operation where they are collecting foreign money to help run campaign ads against the democrats. in fact, karl rove went on face the nation or on fox news yesterday and was critical of mr. president. he basically said to president obama, how dare you make these remarks. ed gillespie, another republican was on face the nation, he as well had critical remarks of mr. obama. >>
