Gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino has already make it quite clear he is just a "forwarder" of extremely offensive and racist emails, not a connoisseur. However, the liberal media still insists on smearing him for sending emails to coworkers about "2 chicks turning up the heat" and "Russian treasures...XXX." So in his latest act of apologizing without apologizing, Paladino took to the internet to proclaim his innocence. He says the allegations were just the "career party politicians who ran this state into the ground" trying to sully his good name, and that his friends and family "will all tell you—I'm not a racist." Except for that "very specific bunch of friends" who got the emails and responded with things like"You really degrade yourself when you forward this sh*t, Geep. It's one thing to not like Obama's policies. It's another to be a flat out racist." Don't listen to them.
