Cuomo: ‘I was not saying anyone should leave the state’
The Daily Caller ^ | February 12, 2014 | Caroline May

People misunderstood New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo when he said conservatives “have no place in the state of New York,” the Democratic governor explained Wednesday.

“I was not saying anyone should leave the state, right? And anyone who heard the comments knows that’s not what I was saying,” Cuomo said when asked about his comments at a press conference. “To the extent people want to have a political dialogue, that’s what it is.”

Cuomo came under fire from conservatives last month when he said “extreme conservatives, who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay … have no place in the state of New York.”

Conservative talker Sean Hannity even threatened to leave the state over the comments.

“Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me – every single solitary penny,” Hannity said on his radio show in January. “And by the way governor, because I work here – there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”(continued)

He’d use concentration camps if he thought he could get away with it. Same for all political democrats. Been saying that for years and my kids are starting to believe me now..

FBI Informant Reveals Weather Underground Advocated "Killing 25 Million Americans."

    I asked, "well what is going to happen to those people we can't
    reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" and the reply was that
    they'd have to be eliminated.

    And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to
    eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

    And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."

    Twenty-five million people.

    I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which
    have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational
    centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination
    of 25 million people.

    And they were dead serious.

"...It actually disturbed me quite a bit"

What makes it even spookier is he sounds EXACTLY like his ol' man. I feel like I'm in a time machine when I hear him speak.

In a dialogue you have more than one opinion. What the nazi of new york wants is a statist monologue. Anybody with brains will get the hell out of that rat island.

His old man liked to listen to the sound of his own voice. This one does too.

In one way I agree with Cuomo....people who don't want their hard earned money seized should not do business in New York!!!

Just had the pleasure of informing a recruiter of Cuomo’s “conservatives not welcome in NY”. Looking forward to his reaction.

As I once said to a boss of mine, “I understand when you will not listen to what I have to say. I am confused that you do not listen even to what you say yourself.”

We did not have a warm and fuzzy relationship.

FWIW...Leno’s actions superseded any union’s actions. Are you aware of anything the IATSE did in the employee’s behalf?

Or it’s pure Machiavellian. I dunno...I don’t follow this stuff.

Nope. I’m speaking generally, and using him as an example, of people who might oppose part of the leftist agenda, but support other parts, moving to conservative areas and infecting us with their leftism. For example, they want their Second Amendment rights, as they well should, but also want to implement the watermelon agenda. That’s how conservative areas incrementally turn left.
