MAKE THIS AD HAPPEN: Carl Paladino standing before the Ground Zero Victory Mosque site, surrounded by construction workers, saying HELL NO, THIS WON'T BE BUILT
*** Here’s Carl Paladino talking about the government officially recognizing the radius of where the WTC’s dust cloud reached as being the site of human remains, since the cremated and vaporized bodies of those in the Twin Towers pushed the remains into the crevices, nooks, and edges of buildings that were pelted by that cloud. We remind you that this site’s dear friend Jane’s body was never found, and is part of the remains we’re talking about. No mosque should be built on land where Jane’s remains could be, not after Muslims murdered her nine years ago and Muslims today wish to build this sick and twisted monument to conquest. Not on our watch. Not on yours either, we hope. ***
We want you to commit to a mission — something we believe can net conservatives the Governorship and at least one Senate seat (but probably both of them) in New York state.
Carl Paladino, the Republican nominee for Governor in New York, needs to make a TV commercial hitting the Democrats hard for their support of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque. This is something the Cocktail Party GOP establishment is skittish about, because the media will HOWL and RAGE at Paladino for doing this…because Democrats strongly support building the Ground Zero Victory Mosque and call anyone opposed to it a bigot, a RAAACIST, and any other vile thing they can think of. Republicans, traditionally, have been too terrified of Democrat name-calling and media disapproval to ever hit Islamization and those who support it hard…but we firmly believe New York voters are looking for a candidate for office who will stand up to this abominable project and directly commit to making sure the Ground Zero Victory Mosque is never built.
Here’s the ad we want Paladino’s team to create:
* Paladino walking on the street in lower Manhattan, talking about the Ground Zero Victory Mosque project. It’s a shot of him, in a shirt and tie, no jacket, telling voters that Cordoba House, the shell company behind the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, takes its name from Cordoba, Spain — where a massive mosque was built to tower over the site of a battle in which Islam claimed a conquest. Cordoba is known throughout Islam as the westernmost push Muslims ever made in conquering the West. This name was deliberately chosen by the people behind the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, just as the site for this mosque was deliberately picked because it is where part of the second jetliner’s landing gear hit after it was plowed into Tower Two of the World Trade Center.
* As Paladino walks, he’s joined by New Yorkers…families and friends of those who were murdered by Islam on 9/11. Paladino continues speaking, and tells voters that the people personally affected by the 9/11 attacks do not want Islam to build a symbol of conquest at Ground Zero. Paladino, with the 9/11 families behind him, holds up a map of lower Manhattan that shows all the buildings that filed insurance damage claims because of the 9/11 attacks…it is a very large circle, where remains were found and the cremated ashes of victims were scattered. This area clearly includes the Ground Zero Victory Mosque site.
* As Paladino and the others walk down the street, more and more people join them…business people, merchants, cab drivers, children, firemen, cops, you name….Paladino tells voters that Andrew Cuomo, Kristen Gillibrand, and Chuck Schumer all back the Ground Zero Victory Mosque…and that President Obama is one of the most eager and enthusiastic supporters of building this mosque at Ground Zero.
* Paladino and the others reach a crowd of construction workers in their hard hats. They are standing in front of the site of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque. He comes before them and he tells the construction workers that New Yorkers don’t want this Ground Zero Victory Mosque built. He asks them if the construction workers of New York want to build a symbol of Islamic conquest on the grave of so many New Yorkers who died nine years ago when those planes were flown into the World Trade Center. The construction workers shout, HELL NO.
* “HELL NO”, Paladino says, directly into the camera, as the construction workers mix with the rest of the crowd and they all surround Paladino.
“Hell no, as your Governor I will dedicate myself to preventing this abomination from being built at Ground Zero and will use the weight of my office and every agency at my disposal to see to it that the Cordoba House project is prevented from victimizing the families of 9/11 survivors again. As your Governor, I believe the people behind this project need to show tolerance and sensitivity to the people of New York who were forever changed that horrible day nine years ago when 3,000 New Yorkers were murdered not far from here. I’m here today saying what needs to be said, while Democrats in the White House and here in New York are siding with the builders of this Ground Zero Victory Mosque. Well, I say this ain’t right, this ain’t respectful, this ain’t the way we should do things in America and as your Governor I’m going to listen to the people and put an end to this madness. I’m Carl Paladino, and if you make me your Governor, I’ll make sure this Ground Zero Victory Mosque is never built”.
We don’t think we’ve ever seen an ad like this…because, as we’ve said, Republicans have always been so scared of fighting back and hitting hard. If Paladino made this ad, here’s what would happen:
* Instantly, the media would excoriate Paladino. They’ll call him a RAAACIST. And a bigot. The talking heads on all the news networks would run the ad over and over again, each time with new experts telling viewers how despicable “Crazy Carl” is for doing this. George Will will scoot his glasses high up near his brow and articulate a thesis on Paladino being a Cro-Magnon. Bill O’Reilly will hate the ad, and call Paladino “Crazy”. Blah blah blah. The end result will see the ad airing, for free, almost nonstop for probably a full news week.
* Paladino’s ad will make him a household name coast to coast, and will definitely get him on the lips of all New Yorkers. We think New Yorkers will, in fact, love the ad. Because New Yorkers by and large agree that Ground Zero Victory Mosque should not be built. Most New Yorkers don’t know the significance of the name “Cordoba House” or that Islam dictates a mosque needs to be built on ground conquered from an enemy, where blood has been spilled, and where the weapons of Islam have damaged an enemies’ structures. Once people hear this, and learn what’s behind this project, they will be horrified. Once horrified, when they see that Democrats support this project, there is no way in Hell they are going to vote Democrat this year. Paladino’s ad, when played nationally, could very well help Republicans coast to coast.
* The Cocktail Party establishment in the GOP is so terrified of upsetting the Media and “giving them ammunition” to say terrible things about Republicans. For too long, the GOP has not pushed hard on issues like this because they’ve been scared of a blowback from the press. Great Merciful Zeus, don’t you see that’s exactly what you want here? The more the Left and Democrats try to demonize someone like Paladino for fighting this Ground Zero Victory Mosque with everything he’s got the more the media will make Paladino a champion of the people…because the people do not want this mosque built. Democrats, in pushing for this mosque, will reveal just how out of touch with both voters and reality they are. The end result will be a gaping chasm between Democrats and the electorate.
* We believe this chasm is waiting to form…and voters want it to form…but it just needs an earthquake triggered by something like Paladino’s ad in New York state. Voters need to be angry with Democrats. They need to lash out emotionally at them at the ballot box. An ad like the one we suggest would accomplish this, because New Yorkers for the most part feel this way…they just need license to vocalize what they are feeling.
Families sitting around the TV watching this ad will start talking about it. Things they might not have said to each other will bubble to the surface. They will be disgusted that Democrats want to build this mosque at Ground Zero. They will be revolted that Democrats are siding with Islam against the 9/11 Families. They will be angry that Democrats and the media attack Carl Paladino for telling the truth.
When it’s time to vote, these people will line up bright and early to vote Democrats out of office…and we think those lines will extend coast to coast.
This is a ballsy, in your face, take no prisoners ad…at a time when Americans are desperate for ballsy, in your face, take no prisoners people to win elected office and kick ass big time in state houses, governors’ mansions, and Congress.
Chime in with what you think.
We’d love help storyboarding and piecing this ad together.
If anyone is in New York and can get this directly to Paladino, we’d appreciate it…because if he did this, Andrew Cuomo would go absolutely insane. Democrats would LOSE IT, and would more likely than not do something stupid and self-destruvtive in response. Paladino wouldn’t just win the election…he’d win it BIG.
We don’t think we’re wrong here, but if you’re in New York, especially, let us know how you think this would go over.
*******************************************
UPDATE: H/t Davette for writing the above idea up as a script. Can anyone storyboard the visuals on this for us with photoshopped images to complement the setting we’ve established and depict Paladino and those around him the way we’ve envisioned?
EXT. LOWER MANHATTAN – DAY
Paladino, dressed in a shirt and tie, sleeves rolled up, walks alone down the street in lower Manhattan.
PALADINO
(directly into camera)
In 784 AD a massive mosque was built to tower over a battle site where Islam claimed a conquest. It was in Cordoba, Spain, which is known throughout Islam as the furthers conquest Muslims made in the West.
People start filtering into the shot behind him as Paladino walks. These are the families and friends of 9/11 and Ground Zero victims, some of them, such as Debra Burlingame, recognizable.
PALADINO (CONT’D)
The name, Cordoba House, was deliberately chosen by the people behind the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, just as the location for this mosque was deliberately picked because it is the site where part of the second jetliner’s landing gear hit after it plowed into Tower Two of the World Trade Center.
An increasing number of people, cops, firefighters, mothers with children, etc., join in walking behind Paladino as he advances through the street. One of the recognizable victims walks at his left shoulder.
PALADINO (CONT’D)
Most of the people whose loved ones were murdered in the attack do not want Islam to build a symbol of conquest at Ground Zero.
Paladino continues walking, holding up a map of lower Manhattan showing all the buildings that filed insurance claims due tot he attack. A large circle shows where remains were found and the cremated ashes of the victims were scattered. The Ground Zero Victory Mosque is clearly indicated within the circle.
PALADINO (CONT’D)
Andrew Cuomo, Kristen Gillibrand, and Chuck Schumer all support the Ground Zero Victory Mosque. President Obama is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of building this mosque. All in the name of “fairness”.
Paladino and the crowd approach a number of construction workers in hard hats standing in front of the proposed site for the Mosque.
PALADINO (CONT’D)
(to the workers)
Most of these people do not want the Victory Mosque built here. Do you want to build a symbol of conquest on the grave of the many New Yorkers who died here nine years ago?
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
(shouting)
Hell, NO!
Paladino turns back to the camera as the construction workers join the crowd behind him.
PALADINO
Hell, no!
Rudy Giuliani and Ed Koch join Paladino behind his right shoulder.
PALADINO (CONT’D)
As your Governor I will dedicate myself to preventing this abomination from being built at Ground Zero and will use the weight of my office and every agency at my disposal to assure that the Cordoba House project is prevented from victimizing the families of the 9/11 survivors again. I believe the people behind this project need to show tolerance and sensitivity to the people of New York who were forever changed that horrible day. I’m saying what needs to be said, while the Democrats and the White House are siding with the builders of this mosque.
Close in on Paladino.
PALADINO (CONT’D)
I say that ain’t right, it ain’t respectful, and it ain’t the way we should do things in America. As your Governor I’m going to listen to the people and put an end to this madness. I’m Carl Paladino, and if you make me your Governor I’ll make sure this Ground Zero Victory Mosque is never built.

Thanks for the address.
Done!
Thanks for making it so easy, HB!!
I just forwarded a link to the post to him as well.
That’s a great idea!
Paladino won the primary because of his stand against the mosque. His commercials ran again and again, promising to turn the site at GZ into a memorial.
Since he won the primary, I haven’t seen any such commericals. He hasn’t even mentioned the mosque again. I don’t know why.
I wish I knew someone in his campaign, but the best I can do is send this idea to his website. I will do that – once I find it.
Guys the ad would be loved by New Yorkers and especially the families of the FDNY and NYPD. A Rudy cameo would be golden.
WOW!!! Rudy cameo is an awesome thought.
Wonderful idea!
Send this to Tom Bauerle, a talk show host in Buffalo:
http://www.wben.com/Tom-Bauerle-Show/2575150
His email is on the page.
Bauerle knows Paladino personally and, I believe, would also love and recommend your idea to Paladino. Bauerle is a creative, big-picture guy like Hillbuzz.
Plus, if Bauerle does not know this site (he may very well), it would be great for him to know you folks are here.
Boyz,
Long time reader, first time poster.
This is an amazing idea and needs to happen.
My uncle has several union connections in NYC and he assures me that the unions will NEVER allow this abomination to be built. Probably the only time I would ever support anything done by the unions.
You win for the best Avitar in history, (the history of Avitars albeit brief.)
It’s the yes we can can.
Applause!!!
AWESOME!
Kudos!
Most a’propos.
this is just too funny for words. Welcome to the motley world of Hillbuzz
midazian, welcome aboard!
I think I love you!
Damn. That’s one mighty fine avatar. Somebody could make a fortune marketing those for the next two years.
It would go nicely with my Obama urinal pucks.
Thanks so much. Hillbuzz has been a daily read for me for two years now. I just finally decided to stop lurking and join in the conversation.
This place seems to have the nicest folks anywhere on the internet.
Good that you’re joining the conversation — and your avatar is great, and will be even more to the point when the time comes to “unseat” O from office!
Ok – I have to know – did you paint that? Did you buy it? Or is it a pic that you found on the internet? I have to have one of those toilet seats just for parties and “company”.
Hero material! CP lets interviewer talk till the facts are sullied and his obvious point of view has been aired in his question, then gently answers the question succinctly.
Love him.
Libs always talk way too much. Remember to use this technique with your crazy lib friends.
Sorry to post again, but Paladino is a particular obsession of mine currently.
I went to his kick-off rally in the Ellicott Square building in Buffalo. What I saw stunned me. I had expected a somewhat home-made affair. No, it was very professional and amazingly well thought out. I was impressed and exhilarated.
Buffalo is an old community. Folks know each other. There is well known phenomenon here; if you meet a fellow Buffalonian who is a stranger, all you need to do is chat a few minutes to discover a common acquaintance or friend.
Paladino is known here as a “what you see is what you get” type of guy. No baloney. And after I went to the rally, I asked around of people who know him, and they reacted to my description of the professionalism of the rally by saying Paladino is a relentlessly thorough, organized and thoughtful man. No half-hearted efforts, and no baloney. He had, so I was told, conducted polls to see how his issues played in New York, and what he saw convinced him he could win.
Folks outside of New York do not realize that NYC is not New York state, as much as NYC controls things here. Outside of NYC, there is despair, anger, a sense of hopelessness. The smarmy platitudes uttered by politicians of all parties are nauseating. The legalized corruption buries us like tons of sodden newspaper. We can hardly gasp. Our beautiful state is like the magnificent Lake Erie once was, poisoned and all but dead.
Folks outside New York also do not know, Democrats here were baptized Democrats on their Christening day. Their dad was a Democrat. Many hundreds of thousands (a million, two million?) Democrats are NOT Park Slope or Upper West side Democrats. They are in fact conservative, small c.
Two million folks are registered independent, meaning non-affiliated. I am guessing many, many of those are conservatives who are disdainful of the Republican party AND the Conservative party. The latter consists of many liberal Democrat operatives who enrolled in order to deny true conservatives the power to endorse true conservatives. Leftist candidates regularly run on the Conservative line.
Paladino is shrewd, he is a true patriot, he is a business man who actually understands cost/benefit, supply and demand, and the innate corruption of government.
My heart is bursting with hope because of Paladino. I have lived all across this state in my years. I am familiar with New Yorkers of all stripes. These are good folks. I must especially mention, folks who live in NYC are some of the most lovely and friendly folks you could meet anywhere. They are wonderful. But their politics is skewed and harmful.
I am very sorry for the long post. But this race is so utterly important for those in New York. If we can effect a revolution here, the prospects for our country are very much brighter and more hopeful.
Tonawanda,
You need to write more about Paladino and get us up to speed on him.
Write volumes on him.
Tell us what you think, really, of this NO MOSQUE ad for him…would he do it…would it be smart to do…how would New York react?
We haven’t lived in New York in over ten years now, so we need the input from someone on the ground.
So, tell us more about all of this. In great detail, sparing nothing.
TY so much! I would love to. Today is a busy day, but I would love to compose something soon.
For now, I want to add this vignette:
Last night I went to a local gin-mill to listen to some awesome live music. I was chatting with a lovely couple who were both Democrats. They actually went to the polling place to vote for Palladino and were told he was not running in the Dem primary.
These folks were not sophisticated enough to understand they could not vote for CP in the primary (and I do NOT say that in a disparaging way), but they were fired up because at last they saw some hope.
Yes, this happened in Buffalo, where we “know” Paladino. And in Buffalo, day after day I hear or see Democrats who express their acute sense of anticipation in voting for CP.
TY again, I will compose something or things in hopes of giving folks a better sense of what might be an almost revolutionary election.
Paladino strikes me as the New York version of Chris Christie. He may not be quite as, ummm, aggressive in his tone but he is a no nonsense, let’s get to work and fix these problems guy.
This will play very well with voters all across the state. Be prepared for the coming tea-nami!!!
First time I’ve seen that expression tea-nami. I love it.
Paladino is using Roger Stone as an advisor. So did Ronald Reagan.
Love it that Paladino threw the race card at Cuomo for not wanting to debate the Black Panther candidate for governor.
Paladino will not debate Cuomo until he includes the other candidates for governor.
Reagan also would not debate Carter until he agreed to include Anderson the Independent candidate in the debates.
http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/09/25/2010-09-25_debate_em_all__carl_sez_cuomo_must_include_all_candidates.html
I know I posted this a few days ago, but for those who haven’t seen it, I think Carl is great here, and Jessica Yellen is stuck on stupid. He has to be a patient man to put up with her nonsense.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNUPhhWzdiw
Where did they ever dig up this bimbo?
Cripes…what an idiot. She kept throwing out what she thought were ‘gotchas’ and not one of them had any merit.
I was very impressed with Palladino, though.
She could barely complete her sentences, it clearly was a struggle for her.
If Glibbsy also departs, perhaps O could hire her as his Press Secretary.
Wow! I’m impressed! My hunch is Yellen did her a fellowship at the John King Institute for Advanced Duh.
Love it, Jim!
lol….
Paladino and Christie are the pappa grizzlies, side by side with the Palin mamma grizzlies. I think Americans are sick and tired of Harvard intellectuals pontificating about how they should run our lives and lecturing us about how to be racially sensitive and inclusive. Enough of that crap. Now we need men and women with giant gonads who will sweep all that away, no mincing of words, no worrying about offending certain groups. Just reawaken the American can-do spirit and get out of our way and let us have at it.
This morning’s news claims that Lazio is upset with tone of the campaign between Cuomo and Paladino. Too hostile. Not dignified. All that stuff.
This can only mean that he plans to remain in the race.
For those of you not from NY, Rick Lazio is a former congressman from Long Island. He is now the nominee on the conservative line. He lost the republican primary to Paladino.
Earlier this week, I signed a petition asking him to drop out of the race. His comments this morning cause me to think he will not do that.
He will be a spoiler.
I am so sick and tired of the republicans this year who have lost their primary fights and refuse to get off the stage. There is Florida, Delaware, Alaska and now New York!
All they’re doing is diluting the liberal vote and annoying all but the most hard-core of their supporters. These sore losers are annoying as hell, but in the end they’re going to inadvertently help their primary opponents to victory.
And the sad thing is they learned it from Al Gore and his lawyers.
I’m optimistic, based on the poor showing he had against Hillary, and that most R’s voted for Carl Paladino, he won’t spoil much. If his tactic is that Paladino is too crass, that works against Cuomo because we’re getting inside info published in the dailies in NY that Andrew is freaking out about his numbers not over 50 percent and Paladino climbing up. He’s using the F bomb all over the place and he’s getting called out on his “temper”. From what we in the NE who read the NY rags have heard over the years, that temper is legendary and I think Paladino knows it. He may be the one to push those buttons to watch his opponent’s hair catch on fire. And don’t kid yourself about Bloomberg’s endorsement of Cuomo. It turned off independents when Guliani endorsed Mario. Interesting politics in NY. They should eschew parties because they are all always in the state of civil war.
I just wrote to Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs. She organized a massive protest of the Victory Mosque (more than 14 people came, according to the count in the newspapers…and they were right. 40,000 is greater than 14).
I asked her to use her connections in NYC to get the information to Paladino. She already has a crowd who I’m certain will come out for the shoot. I hope she reads her email.
I appreciate your bravery and vision, HillBuzz. You keep those ideas cranking!
…Oops! My avatar didn’t display. I had an email address in the email line that didn’t match the email address used when I created the avatar. That might be one reason people have trouble with them!
Boyz, I think that would make a great ad.
Paladino could immediately add a lot of punch to it if he could enlist the support of Andy Sullivan.
Andy represents literally thousands of tradesmen in New York, in what has become a huge anti-mosque movement. He also has connections to the NYPD, who are on his side, for obvious reasons.
Andy speaks well and makes a great case against not just the mosque, but the whole islamization of America. He gets it.
This is a good video…the beginning is rough, but it gets much better. Hang in…it’s worth it.

Hillbuzz, as your friend Jane’s remains were never found, neither were my brother’s, FDNY, Rescue 4. We buried the only thing we did find and could identify as his, his helmet. Trust me, if that abomination is ever built, it will be reduced to ashes, hopefully when it is filled with joyous Muslims celebrating their victory over the infidels.
(((John)))
A huge silent prayer for your brother and your family. Here in NJ we value every piece of that hallowed ground and will do whatever we can and must in order to make sure that weisel imam is not successful in his chess game with NY.
hey, there must be lots of ways to delay any building… I am sure your guys can be very creative
I am on your side. Several Australians working at the WTC died that day. Most were young men and women cut down in their prime.
I went to Paladino’s website, and then couldn’t get this song out of my head, so I’ve got it playing on iTunes now:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zntBAkzGaM&fs=1&hl=en_US]
“Grab your tea and follow me!”
I love, love, love this video it makes me happy. Ending it with Martin Luther Kings speech is brilliant.
Let me add this background piece from CFP on the liberal-islamist alliance to gain control of the EuroAmerican world. And someone could get it to Paladino’s site.
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/27114
http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/a-ny-earthquake-gop-eyeing-nine-house-seats/
Dick Morris weighs in on NY, and my man Chris Gibson is in it.
I would so love to see Paladino do this add, do it Carl!
Speaking of Dick Morris, someone should send the story book to Morris. He’s always running ads on his site and asking for small donations to get them put on national TV. He’s just angry enough this election to get involved in something like this. If enough people present Paladino with the idea, the support, and the money, I can’t see how he would not use the opportunity.
Does anyone remember how much Reagan was criticized for the “There’s a bear in the woods” ad? It was subliminal about the Soviets still being a threat and we should be prepared to “be as strong as the bear” and the left went crrrrazzzzy trying to tie him to Goldwater as a threat to nuclear war. Idiots.
Here’s the ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpwdcmjBgNA
And damn if he wasn’t right…
Opening scene of second plane striking WTC tower – slow motion. Overlay of cheering. Fade to picture of proposed mosque. Cheering continues.
