These guys can dish it out but don't seem to be able to take it.
Tea Party candidate Carl Paladino threatened to "take out" a reporter following a heated exchange, spotlighting his reputation for making impulsive and outlandish comments.
Carl Paladino accuses reporter of favoring his rival in the N.Y. governor race.
The dustup occurred Wednesday when New York Post State Editor Fredric Dicker asked Paladino to prove his accusation that Democratic challenger Andrew Cuomo cheated on his ex-wife while the couple were still married.
"What evidence do you have for something most people would consider a smear?" Dicker asked.
Rather than respond to the question, Paladino accused Dicker of sending a "goon" to photograph his young daughter, who was born to a mistress and kept secret from his wife for a decade.
