'Boycott Paladino' Movement Grows as Western NY Businessman Faces More Protests

 

Embattled Western NY real estate developer Carl Paladino continues to face outcry and criticism over his derogatory comments about the president and first lady in December.

In response to a survey sent to local business owners, Paladino said he wished Obama would die of mad cow disease, and suggested that Michelle Obama should be let loose in Zimbabwe to live with a gorilla. The comments have been widely panned as offensive and racist.

Now, a new website encourages Western NY residents to not only protest Paladino, but boycott any businesses or buildings associated with his company, Ellicott Development.

BoycottPaladino.com features a video with news clips of Paladino's most controversial comments over the years, and attempts to consolidate everything an opponent would want to know about Paladino, and highlight his influence in the local community.
