NEW YORK — An Orthodox rabbi says he's withdrawing his endorsement of New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino because the Republican apologized for comments he made about gays.

Rabbi Yehuda Levin, who represents an umbrella organization of ultra-Orthodox clerics, accused Paladino on Wednesday of bowing to political pressure when he apologized for a speech in which he said children shouldn't be "brainwashed" into thinking homosexuality is acceptable.

Levin – speaking in New York City in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral – says he can't support Paladino's campaign "until such time as he straightens out."

Paladino spokesman Michael Caputo said in an e-mail that the rabbi and Paladino "agree on many things and disagree on some, too. He's entitled to his opinion."



And Paladino is NOT HAPPY about this.

And nothing of value was lost...

This Rabbi, wrote these lines in a speech, Paladino didn't say certain lines, and then the Rabbi endorsed him.

Now Paladino apologizes to people/family who were hurt by the remarks, and the Rabbi flips on him.

Screw Yehuda Levin and his associates. They started the controversy for him in the first place, and then they stab him in the back.

Paladino lost a bunch of credibility for bowing to Political Correctness.

Probably not as much as he lost for his bigotry...

+1. What an ass for apologizing.

His contributions to Dems are troubling. If he is a fraud I was starting to believe he would not be as Socialist as Cuomo anyway. I could at least hold my nose to vote for him. Like allot of people a Paladino vote will be a vote just to stop Cuomo - the Socialists.

I am hoping the media will burn out on these two and Redlich can make some noise before the election. Then people can see they do not have just the lesser of two evils.

What difference would that make? If your belief system does not agree with the lifestyle that does not mean you hate gays, will bash gays or will discriminate.

For most Christian religions that is the case. The media however spins it otherwise to fit in with the Progressive agenda. The Progressives hate religion since it is their agenda to lead the masses to worship at the altar of government.

So now Paladino does think kids should be brainwashed into thinking homosexuality is cool?

And I wish more anti-beastiality folks have kids who like to fuck cows.

Are you equating consensual sex between individuals of the same gender with non-consensual sex between an individual and a animal that lacks sapience?
