Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino and Post State Editor Fredric U. Dicker last night got into an angry confrontation -- during which Paladino threatened, "I'll take you out."
It started when Dicker asked Paladino if he had any proof of his shocking allegation that Democratic rival Andrew Cuomo cheated on his former wife during their marriage.
"What evidence do you have for something most people would consider a smear?" Dicker asked.

While I agree with you on this Wideawake has been at FR since 1999 so he definitely is not a troll!!
Totally agree. Dicker is fair and very tough on all politicians. He hates corruption whether it comes from the left or right. Paladino should have kept his head when dealing with as respected a journalist as Dicker.
I’ve been here since 1997 and.... I don’t hide behind an anonymous screen name and spout unsubstantiated garbage... Trolls do...
Calm down...I said I agreed with you...He has a right to his opinion....even if it’s wrong!!!
Falsehoods are NOT opinion .... are they?
Please explain his sewer like accusations.
And, we've been doing so good up to now...
The economy is great. Everyone is employed. We're respected around the world.
Yep. Why mess with success? ;)
My daughter read this article and did a double take when she saw "Fredric U. Dicker" because she saw it as "Fredric! U. Dicker". LOL I told her to read it again but it turns out she was "right".
I’m not going to try to explain his position I don’t agree with it but he’s been around FR a long time so I doubt he’s a troll. Tomorrow I could very well agree with him on some other subject. I don’t live in New York But I know you better be tough if you want to get elected....Paladino is tough!!!
If you watch the video you will see that it was a deliberate attempt by dicker (who gets a tingle when dreaming about cuomo) to create an angry response.
dicker stalked paladino’s ten year old daughter. do you approve of that?
Are you aware that it was Dicker spreading rumors, most untrue about Patterson, to get him to drop out of the race to clear the way for Cuomo.
Dicker is so far up Cuomo’s butt it’s pathetic.
I don't expect you to respond... My question was rhetorical in the context of the thread created by this, so called "Freeper"...
SOOOO you think the press has the right to sneak up to his Daughters home and peak in her window.(10 years old) Or taking pictures of an innocent child is OK. And at the same time refuse to cover the REAL reason of the Cuomo Divorce.
Oh I understand completely! I am also frustrated defending Christine O”Donnell. It seems some of us are tougher on our own candidates than on the dims. Anything Paladino said pales in comparison to Cuomo and some New Yorkers I’m betting will like him for taking on the media!!!
Pretty much the definition of a "slick" politician is the creep who talks one of his employees into sleeping with him behind his wife's back.
LOL I hope you never end up in Palladino's face you may eat that slur... That's the kind of guy Palladino is and he devours simpleton bushwackers like you.
"Slur"? Even Paladino belatedly admits that he is indeed an adulterer.
He protected his 10 year old daughter from a liberal rag publication because he has honor guys like you lack.
Because the definition of "honor" is violating your marriage vows.
Anonimity is great isn't it? Especially when you continue "dishing" your unsubstantiated sludge...
I'm sure you agree.
Of course. I just made up the idea that Paladino cheated on his wife with a woman who was dependent upon him for a paycheck.
Palladino provided well for his daughter and he never hid anything.
His wife was not informed of her existence until last year.
You seem to know quite a bit about nothing but spout anything that comes to your "dirtbag" mind.
This is Paladino's biography. Those were the choices he made.
Your buddy Cuomo, with his track record probably would have paid for a "Career Saving" abortion... with campaign funds...
I wouldn't doubt it.
For all we know, Paladino made a similar offer to his employee and she turned him down. Or maybe he jumped for joy, happily signed a support agreement, and told his girlfriend: "Don't worry, in nine years I'll tell my wife about the baby."
One thing is for sure, the details of their arrangement are being vigorously researched by the Cuomo people now that he's accused Cuomo of having an extramarital affair.
He's declared war on the battleground where he is weakest, instead of making the correct strategic move and fighting Cuomo where Cuomo is weakest: taxes, fiscal responsibility, real-life economic experience.
Talk is cheap troll and you're good at the sewer art of cheap unsubstantiated talk.
Nothing I've said is undocumented.
Again: Paladino needs to focus on winning issues rather than continue to invite more digging into his personal affairs.
Some people seem to get very upset when good advice is offered.
Success would result from running well-vetted candidates who are capable of staying on-message.
Some winnable races will be lost this November because of sloppiness.
So you think it’s ok that the papers photog stalked a 10 year old kid? Cuomo is a dirtbag. He married a Kennedy for political convenience. They both had affairs and Cuomo is now living with his GF. You’ll convict Paladino of being human but give Cuomo and his buddies a pass for being dirty? I think you need to keep it Jersey. You know, the state that elected McGreevey and Cortisone.
I will. Thank you!!!!
