Warren Redlich claims media is biased

Warren Redlich doesn't feel he is getting enough media attention.  In a recent letter he wrote to the Times Union, he says Andrew Cuomo's name has appeared in print over 200 times and Rick Lazio and Carl Paladino's name has appeared over 80 times each.  Poor Warren Redlich's name has only appeared 6 times.

Perhaps if Warren Redlich acted like a normal, mature person he would get a little more recognition and respect.  Instead, his campaign consists of video parodies, name calling, misrepresentations and identity theft.

Warren Redlich attacks local diner

Warren Redlich has become a restaurant critic.  Consider reading his review and the comments that follow as he attacks Dewey's Diner in Colonie.  The article demonstrates Redlich's bully tactics, immaturity and vindictiveness, especially when he posts the Health Department records for Dewey's Diner because they wouldn't succumb to his extortionist scheme.

Warren Redlich causes more dysfunction in Libertarian Party

Warren Redlich

It appears that Warren Redlich and his campaign manager have caused quite a bit of dysfunction in the Libertarian Party.  When a few New York Libertarian party members questioned Redlich and his campaign manager about the process of the nomination for Governor and Redlich's role in it, at least one member of the Libertarian Party was banished.  It sounds like this was a simple free speech issue concerning the party portraying itself as a protector of our constitutional rights.

In any event, a new group of New York Libertarians has been formed and they have charter committees representing all 62 counties in the state.

Read more about the splintering of the Libertarian Party

Warren Redlich has destroyed the Guilderland Republican Party.  Not being content with that, he now seeks to destroy the New York Libertarian Party.  Warren Redlich claims he is the "Ron Paul Candidate" for Governor of New York.  From what I have seen, Ron Paul is a party builder, while Warren Redlich is just the opposite.  Wherever Warren Redlich goes, chaos follows.

Warren Redlich asks that fraud lawsuit against him be transferred to Albany

Previously we noted in a June 2010 blog post that Warren Redlich is being sued by another Libertarian for fraud.  The lawsuit centers around the way Warren Redlich and his campaign manager obtained the Libertarian nomination for Governor.  The lawsuit was brought in the NY Supreme Court in Manhattan.

It appears that Warren Redlich has asked the court to transfer the case to Albany.  He claims that it is inconvenient for him to appear in Manhattan.  Of course, the petitioner is from the New York City area, and Warren Redlich doesn't seem to care about inconveniencing him.   The Petitioner, Sam Sloan, in his opposing papers states: "Although Warren Redlich is a notorious character in Albany, we did not know him down here. He cleverly evaded any chances to ask him questions about his platform or his background. Some Libertarians were even eluded into the belief that he is a Libertarian."

Another interesting contention from the lawsuit is that the state Libertarian Committee suspended the membership of a Libertarian member from Queens because he spoke against Warren Redlich.  As a result, it is claimed that three of the statewide candidates have distanced themselves from Warren Redlich.  The Libertarian Party is supposed to be the party of individual freedoms and they suspend a member for exercising his right to free speech against a non-member?  Sounds pretty hypocritical.  In any event, it sounds like Warren Redlich is turning the Libertarian Party into a circus like he has tried to do to the Guilderland town board.

The petitioner, Sam Sloan, states in his affidavit:  "Warren Redlich has run or tried to run for election many times under different parties and consistently has performed the same plethora of dirty tricks as he has done here. This is his modus operandi. He is fundamentally dishonest. He is a bad person, an evil man. Therefore, I am asking this court to enjoin him from running for public office again."

Update:  Sam Sloan has formed a committee to challenge Warren Redlich on the Libertarian Party line.  Apparently he is circulating a petition similar to Redlich's except it lists "Sam Sloan" as the gubernatorial candidate.  For more information, read:  Sam Sloan for Libertarian Governor

Warren Redlich sued for Fraud

Warren Redlich has apparently been sued by Libertarian Sam Sloan for fraud.  Sam Sloan also sought the Libertarian endorsement for Governor.  The lawsuit involves the manner in which Warren Redlich obtained the Libertarian nomination for Governor.  At first, one has to wonder why anyone would care as the Libertarian Party is not an official party in New York, so anyone can circulate petitions to get on the ballot.  What really is at stake here though is $35,000 the National Libertarian Party has given to the local Libertarians to get their candidate on the ballot.  If Warren Redlich did fraudulently get the local endorsement, he gains access to the $35,000 donation of the National Libertarian Party.

Sam Sloan in his lawsuit has this to say about Warren Redlich:

  "Warren Redlich has committed fraud on the members of the New York Libertarian Party and thereby on the voters of New York State by concealing facts about himself...    Everything about Warren Redlich is slimy. He is basically a bad guy. There is nothing honest, upstanding or reputable about Warren Redlich. He campaigns for office by impersonating his opponents thereby discrediting them. He has brought discredit and disrepute to the New York State and the National Libertarian parties." (Taken from papers in lawsuit filed by Sam Sloan against Warren Redlich)

Paladino campaign calls Warren Redlich an Internet troll

Warren Redlich attacked Carl Paladino last week by posting a negative video about Paladino's campaign contributions.  The video elicited a response from Carl Paladino's campaign manager, Michael Caputo who had this to say about Warren Redlich:

"Most every election has crackpot, also-ran candidates and the New York Governor race is no exception. Some never campaign and spend their time at home, rarely getting out of their pajamas, trolling the Internet and producing inaccurate and inflammatory content just to stir up the mix. Carl addressed this issue in local and statewide media reports three months ago, before he even entered this race. It isn't news."

Warren Redlich has been heavily involved in the Internet registering the names of over a half dozen people and posting negative websites about them.  His latest victim is Carl Paladino.  This, of course, is a form of trolling.  Also, Warren Redlich registers on hundreds of blogs, posting negative comments about others and linking to his negative websites in order to have search engines such as google give his websites a higher rating priority.
