Carl Paladino's openly gay nephew -- whom the candidate points to as proof he's no homophobe -- said yesterday he was "very offended" by his uncle's anti-gay rants.
Jeff Hannon, 23, a staffer for the Paladino campaign, also hasn't shown up at work since the bomb-throwing GOP gubernatorial hopeful made his caustic comments about homosexuality, one of Hannon's co-workers told The Post.
In a brief phone interview yesterday, Hannon, in his first public remarks on the incident, told The Post, "Obviously, I'm very offended by his comments."
Hannon said he had no further comments "right now," before hanging up.
The hunky, 6-foot-2 staffer hasn't been seen at campaign headquarters in Buffalo since Sunday, one worker said.
"Everybody was talking about it today. They are worried about him," said the worker. "They think he's upset."

Double standard: Andrew Cuomo
“Vote for Cuomo (i.e., Mario), not the HOMO!” Andrew contributed that to his father’s gubernatorial campaign.
I think you provided us all a good laugh with that one. Thanks for being such a good sport.
That’s EXACTLY what Paladino should do. You hit the nail on the head.
I don’t think so.

The Rabbi says he’s leaving the door open in case Paladino changes back.
Unless someone who’s Jewish educates me otherwise, I am under the impression that there’s no such person as a liberal Orthodox Jew. Orthodox Jews hold at least some moral positions exactly as the Catholic Church teaches. It was very fitting, in more ways than one, that the Rabbi made his statement on the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Matthew 10:34-36
34"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn " 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - 36a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
Several people on other threads said that even these people rely on government handouts so they vote Dem. It’s just suspicious that Levin has been in the middle of this from the get-go.
Remember back when this would’ve helped Palidino? What happened to that country?
“Fi$¢al ¢onservative” heads have been exploding, too!
Alternate headline: Sensitive gay man is sensitive.
I thought of these verses, too. Thanks for posting them.

Sensitive Gay Man is Sensitive: "I Haz a Sad," Says Paladino Nephew
LOL!
Because of FR, I know we have a remnant.
They are hard verses but sometimes the truth is hurtful. A lot of people cave on principles because they don’t want to hurt those they love. But love IS telling the truth. Especially when it’s something so harmful. Paladino did the human thing (apologizing). A lot of us a do.
Many people do not understand the principle of defending boundaries, and that the greatest boundaries are related to the truth.
That’s because they’ve been brainwashed to believe the truth is hateful. If we don’t take a stand now, we’re lost. It’s a shame that Paladino got caught up in such a situation. It’s hurtful enough without being played out in public.
Now that they think they smell blood in the water he is “The hunky, 6-foot-2 staffer”
I was just at the Paladino funraiser tonight- this is ALL BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freepers who should know better, and who are often here with us screaming about the biased news, still seem to fall for it...
Is Levin lying? I thought he setup Paladino. What about the quotes from the nephew. Please tell us the truth!
I was just at the Paladino funraiser tonight- I got home 5 minutes ago (and freeping already) This is ALL BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
