A discord from Andrew Cuomo's past resurfaces

Newsday reports:

A nasty political episode from Andrew Cuomo's past returned to haunt him when some members of a gay political club accused him of making insensitive remarks about a flap during his father's 1977 mayoral campaign.

During a forum held late Wednesday in Manhattan by the Stonewall Democrats of New York City, Cuomo, a candidate for attorney general, was asked about his alleged involvement in the distribution of "Vote for Cuomo, not the homo" signs when Mario Cuomo ran against Ed Koch.

Denying he had a hand in the tactic, the younger Cuomo referred to those charges as "folklore," which some in the audience took as a suggestion that the signs were never distributed.

Cuomo said he was misunderstood, but Brice Peyre, a member of the club who posed the question to Cuomo, said, "The clear implication was these fliers never existed."

As you probably could guess this is an issue in Blue America.
