Speaking of Cuomo the Twirp....... Gov. Cuomo Furiously Backpedals on Comments Saying Pro-Lifers Don't Belong in NY

[PS....from KLP...He says he didn't say what our "lying ears" heard MULTIPLE times today....At least FOXNews broadcast his EXACT words from yesterday....Maybe this guy has more than a little trouble with basic honesty....or early dementia has set in....]

Christine Rousselle 1/21/2014 10:30:00 AM - Christine RousselleFollowing Gov. Andrew Cuomo's comments on a radio show suggesting that conservative, pro-life people have no place in New York, the governor's office has morphed into damage control mode, releasing a statement saying that it's "fine" to be pro-life in the state.

The full text of the statement:

The New York Post distorted Governor Cuomo’s words yesterday, saying that the Governor said "conservatives should leave New York." The Governor did not say that, nor does he believe that.

If you read the transcript ( below), it is clear that the Governor was making the observation that an extreme right candidate cannot win statewide because this is a politically moderate state (either moderate Republican or moderate Democratic).

In the same response, the Governor went on to say "it is fine" to be anti-gun control, and anti-choice” – as he respects both positions.

The Post can allow any person they want to publish in their paper but if they are to retain any credibility they cannot be entirely reckless with facts and the truth.

Cuomo's remarks were widely criticized.

Let's hope that Cuomo chooses his words a little better the next time he has to give a speech.

Updated to correct the situation of Gov. Cuomo's initial remarks

Amen!

I did say "most" righties practice tolerance.....in some respects I am not one of them....I tend to feel that it is a mistake by those on the right not to respond in kind....I have no tolerance for the kind of stupidity that labels Benghazi and other similar scandals as "phony" or the kind of blindness that labels Fox as "Faux" while ignoring the overt bias of the MSM, as just a few of many examples of the tactics of the left....It is a mistake I think not to reply with the same venom and vitriol we see spewed by the left in the form of these dishonest kinds of attacks....it is I think the only language they understand.
