People should stop calling the site of the September 11 attacks "Ground Zero," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Tuesday, urging Americans to move past a term long linked with the World Trade Center's twin towers destruction.

"We will never forget the devastation of the area that came to be known as ground zero. Never. But the time has come to call those 16 acres what they are: The World Trade Center and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum," Bloomberg said in a speech on the rebuilding of lower Manhattan.

Ground Zero originated as a term to describe the site of a nuclear explosion and later was used to refer to the point of any dramatic or violent event.

Ground zero would be Obama in a giant mortar and pestle set

The World Trade Center and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum

That pharse, just trips off the tongue, doesn't it?

[muawiyah]

Well, maybe not quite, we’ve already used up “Commandante Zero”, and just “Zero” ~ need something new for Bloomberg ~ how about Bloomquisling, or Bloompetan, or maybe Bloomhitler ~ yeah, Bloomhitler.

[SamuraiScot]

Mayor Bloomberg shouldn’t be called “Mayor” Bloomberg

Minor Bloomberg?

EXCELLENT post about them telling you what to say or think!!

However, “The World Trade Center and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum” does sorta just roll off the tongue.

Every syllable I read about this revolting runt makes me find new ways to hate him more. Can’t he just go away?

I like that. Revolting runt. My father would have called him a sawed-off stinker. I just call him Kapo B-Berg.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

What does this commiecrat want us to call it? Future al quada celebration mosque site and headquarters?

Also a Ground Zer0:

[blueunicorn6]

I have named my toilet “Bloomberg” in honor of the mayor.

[jackv]

Is he mayor for life?? Good grief! When will he ever just go away?

[SargeK]

OK Bloomy. Let’s call it what THEY would call it.

Dar al-Harb.

Better?

[exit82]

There really is no other way to say this:

FUMB!

[Pollster1]

“Ground Zero” is an entirely appropriate name for the site of an evil attack of that magnitude. “Spineless Wimp” is an entirely appropriate name for the elitist snob who thinks it’s divisive to use an essentially neutral term for the site of a massively evil attack. I will continue to use both names.

[Renkluaf]

It would seem Mr. Mayor missed yet another opportunity to keep his mouth closed.

[AFreeBird]

How about a Muslin Free Zone. Eh Bloomy?

[Mr. Wright]

. . . and people should stop calling those of radical Islam, “terrorists”!!!!

Right, we will get on that ASAP.

[SargeK]

Or Dar al-Hudna.

Yes, that’s what Bloomy wants.

You Dhimmis pony up and we’ll buy a little respite.
