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."

THANK you! I can now point to your post and tell others that. It IS important to tell the truth. Look how much the press hates it!
Male homosexuality (I don't know about female) is forbidden and a capital offense for non-Jews under the Noachide Laws. Orthodox Jews are supposed to spread knowledge of the Noachide Laws to all non-Jews, though they have been unable to do this for many hundreds of years.
That is a detestable lie. Rabbi Levin has been fighting the good fight for at least thirty years and has been all but ostracized in the "mainstream" Charedi community as a result.
Almost single-handedly he has taken on mainstream Charedi leadership for their shameful silence and acquiescence to the liberal agenda in exchange for government funding. He is one of the most principled opponents of the "gay" agenda in the United States of America. In return for this he is attacked and ridiculed by so-called "Charedim" who put stick their heads in the ground and pretend there is nothing to worry about except ethnic bigotry.
Whoever said this about Rabbi Levin should publicly apologize for saying such a thing.
I’ll accept your word as the truth. The other poster never responded to queries about it. Probably because of not having any facts. You have to understand that all most know are the ADL and they make peoples jaws drop.
Rabbi Levin is the furthest thing from the ADL. He is an "ultra-Orthodox" rabbi complete with beard, black hat, and black suit. These people won't even own a television set.
Why don't you go to any of Rabbi Levin's web sites (rabbilevin.com, thefearkashes.com, GodReignOverUs.com) or his Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube pages and see for yourself?
I'm as disgusted by liberal Jews as anyone--in fact, more so--but anyone who would label Rabbi Levin a liberal simply because his name is "Levin" is a true bigot. And yes, despite liberal overuse of the word there are such things.
Ping to my post #65.
I didn't know he had any. Thanks for the info.
DJ - just trying to figure out what’s happening with Paladino’s statements, apologies (if any) etc. Any overview or summary? I haven’t had time (plus with comp. crashes) to read a lot today. (Hardly any in fact).
(DH is off to buy parts so maybe he can fix it and I’ll be cruisin’.)
He made a disappointing apology. Sorry that he did it but he did. And this article that we’re posting to is a fabrication. The press loves Paladino as much as Sarah Palin.
Thanks for the explanation.
The MSM (Main Stream Media, Mid-Stream [as in the doctor’s office when they give you a cup] Media, or Men who have Sex with Men, lot of overlap anyway) are getting worse and worse, which I thought not possible.
They are more openly biased liars now. They’ve thrown caution to the wind.
I think I’m starting to get the hang of this! :-) Thanks a lot.
Thanks for all your information. I’m not familiar with Rabbi Levin, so this is very helpful to know where he’s coming from. I will check out the links.
Who are the Charedim? Are they a group in Hasidic Judaism?
Charedim (the word is the masculine plural noun for someone who trembles, thus meaning those who tremble in the Presence of G-d--the same verse the Quakers get their name from) are simply the "Ultra-Orthodox" Jews as opposed to the Modern Orthodox. I think it also is applied more to those who are not Chassidic.
BTTT
I thought I was hot stuff because I knew the 3 main branches of Judaism! :-)
I see you spell “Chassidic” with the Ch rather than the H. I always spelled it “Hassidic,” but spelled Chanukah with the Ch.
When you're a native NYer, you learn something about everyone. :-)

I'm afraid it's much more complicated than that. And the "three branches" thing is just about two hundred years old. The Reform and Conservative "branches" don't believe the Torah is from Heaven, so they aren't really "branches of Judaism" at all (though their members are real Jews).

The Hebrew letter is chet. Some use "h" to represent chet; I use "ch" and use "h" for heh.
That's a shame. Like the people who don't believe that God really parted the Red Sea for the Israelites. They'll be surprised. But the h and ch are pronounced the same? I know that the ch sound is like the Polish ch, as in chleba (bread).
Among 'Ashkenazim the heh is an "h" and the chet is like the "ch" in the German "Bach" or the Scottish "Loch."
Among Sefaradim the heh is practically silent and the chet is an "h." Or at least that's what I understand. I could be wrong.
This is very interesting. Thank you.
