"Ground Zero" includes everywhere the dust cloud reached - Paladino (R-NY) CNN

[Electric Monk]

and he doesn't want any new mosques anywhere inside "Ground Zero".

(CNN, just now)



He was totally ignorant of the difference between Sufi, Sunni, and Shiite too. He just lumped em all together. That's like saying Southern Baptists and Lutherans and Amish are all the same.



Am I wrong for enjoying watching these loony teabaggers get more national attention? :bounce:

[BeyondGeography]

1. There goes Brooklyn

[Electric Monk]

3. and Newark

[brooklynite]

7. There's a mosque a block away from me in Brooklyn Heights...

I got WTC dust and I'm sure they did to. Perhaps Carl could knock on their door and explain the new definition...


...and while he's at it, maybe he should walk down to Atlantic Ave and close down the dozen or so Middle Eastern restaurants and groceries.

[missheidi]

2. Is he the one whose slogan is "We're Mad As Hell?" or something like that?

[bluestateguy]

4. So that would include what, half of New Jersey?

I guess if we can have free speech zones we can also have Islamic worship zones too?

[RockaFowler]

5. Isn't he the one who wants to put poor people in Prison??

[LostinVA]

9. Yes, and give them hygiene lessons

[gkhouston]

12. would that include not screwing animals? n/t

[MattyGroves]

10. Yep. Something about them learning proper habits

If there is a moderate faction in today's GOP leadership (which seems doubtful) I can't imagine what they're thinking after Delaware and NY.

[LostinVA]

6. So, that also includes New Jersey

Any mosques across the river, Gang?

[sinkingfeeling]

8. So, what's his plan? Will he tear down everything that's included in the zone?

[dmr]

11. I'm sitting here watching this & not believing my ears

I pressed the DVR button so my son can see this later, because there is no way I could explain this interview.

Heaven help NY should he win the general election. But I don't think he will. The more he talks, the more ramped up the voters will be to ensure this Repub never wins.

This guy is scary!

[BlueIdaho]

13. Hell Yes!

I think of that dust cloud as defining a national park like primitive area. I think we should remove all traces of humans from the area. No Businesses, no buildings, no roads, no telecom towers. Nothing but rubble covered in ash.

Then we can turn it into a prison and drop Snake Plissken in by helicopter.

Awesome.

[Vickers]

14. *adds 1,000 Cool Points for Snake Plissken reference* n/t

[winstars]

19. "Snake Pliskin, I thought you was dead...." nt

[BlueIdaho]

20. Beautiful.

[madrchsod]

18. another 1000 cool points

[foxfeet]

15. Damn. I think I got some on me here in Seattle.

Carried around the Earth on the prevailing winds. Looks a lot like Mt. Saint Helens ash.:eyes:

[Gin]

17. he talks like a thug...reminds me of bush....ignorant peice of crap

[spanone]

16. it's an era when certain voters reward ignorance

[Arkansas Granny]

21. Oh, this guy is just a peach, isn't he. I wasn't familiar with his name,

so I googled it and this is the first thing I found:

Back in April, emails from Paladino surfaced in which he forwarded bestiality videos and tons of racist jokes. He fired back, saying, in short, that he's not racist and he doesn't enjoy watching horses have sex with women. But whatever, the past is the past, right? Since then he's been laying down his platform, and taking on issues the Tea Party loves to hate, like welfare. Besides reducing the state's budget by 20 percent and cutting taxes, Paladino has a solution for people on welfare: relocate them to prison dormitories. Paladino spoke to the AP:

Instead of handing out the welfare checks, we'll teach people how to earn their check. We'll teach them personal hygiene ... the personal things they don't get when they come from dysfunctional homes."

You have to teach them basic things - taking care of themselves, physical fitness. In their dysfunctional environment, they never learned these things."

[metapunditedgy]

22. Hell, some of that dust may have reached Mecca. n/t

[Kalyke]

23. It went up my nose six months later (and made me quite ill).

Is my nose part of Ground Zero, too?

I had to go to the doctor for acute sinusitis and everything!

[frylock]

24. does that include the lungs of the dead and dying first responders?

[Golden Raisin]

25. The next day when the winds

changed the cloud came right up the Hudson, and I'm as north as Lincoln Center. Saw it and smelled it. Horrendous smell of chemicals and burned flesh. I'll NEVER forget it.
