ALBANY, N.Y. — New York's Conservative Party is planning a television ad campaign to pressure a New York City utility to use its power to block a proposed mosque near ground zero that the ad says is planned by an "un-American" Muslim leader.

The ad states "patriotic Americans" want "real answers" about the cultural center proposed for lower Manhattan in a building partly owned by Consolidated Edison. Plans call for the Muslim center to include a mosque in the building about two blocks from the Sept. 11, 2001, attack.

The ad asks viewers to contact the utility, which has more than 3 million customers, at a phone number provided on screen and is the first effort to try to get customers to target the company.

The Conservative Party's statewide ad to begin running next week says Republican candidate for governor Rick Lazio, the Conservative nominee, is asking the right questions about the effort and who or what groups will fund it.

4. These goobers are basing all their opposition on lies and propaganda

5. They are acting like a Christian Taliban with their own version of Sharia Law.

6. If a Mosque were being built 2blocks from the WH they'd claim it was being built on the WH lawn

7. They are playing right into OBL's hands, too stupid to see how they are being played just like Bush

11. I don't see that they are. In what way?

It's 2 blocks away....check. Never heard any different, except for a pro-mosque-builder Democrat who misrepresented on TV yesterday that it's three blocks away.

It's a muslim enter....check. I've never heard any different.

It's a huge muslim center with a huge mosque....check. I've never heard any different, except Democrats misrepresenting that it's not a mosque, but a "center." Actually, as we all know, it's both. It's the standard mosque-center thing that muslims build across the world.

Much ado about nothing, though, since it is going to be built. It's already been approved. So it was pretty safe for Obama to make a statement about it....AFTER the decision was already made. Why has it been approved? Follow the money.
