Yesterday, Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld updated The Daily Gut with a slightly different “Gregalogue.” He detailed his plans to open up a gay bar next to the forthcoming “Ground Zero mosque” so as to test the builders claims that the community center is for “outreach.” On last night’s Red Eye, he outlined his plan and discussed it in a typically irreverent style with his guests. While the idea still seems brilliant, the conversation highlighted just how thin a tightrope the satirist is walking here.
Like I said last night, the plan is incredibly clever. However, it is clear that it will only really work if it is seriously about tweaking religious persecution of homosexuals and not just about pissing off a bunch of Muslims. Some of our incredibly astute commenters have pointed out in the still going debate on that post that New York’s gays aren’t going to flock to this bar just to be a part of some Fox News guy’s beef with a mosque no matter how good the music is (and Gutfeld promises it will be great). This is going to have to work as a provocation and a business.

I don't have an answer for your first question, because I think if they are successful in opening a gay bar - or any bar - next to the mosque, it's a bombing waiting to happen.
But, you don't get a license for a "gay bar", you just get a license for a bar. This is NYC, not some suburban area. Look at St Pat's Cathedral in NYC. I bet there are 10 bars well-within one block of the Cathedral, and I know that there are several bar/restaurants right across the street in 30 Rock. There's nothing "right next door" to the Cathedral per se, but only because it takes up the entire block.
A Gay Bar is our response? What about a church? What about invitations to the strongest Christians in the country to move there, and make that church their church?
THAT is a real response.
Note the tagline ...
See post 19. A church will not happen. They are already making sure of that.
The only thing that would REALLY count would be the approval for a cathedral and a synagogue in Mecca. File the applications with the Saudi government and stand by for fireworks!
2 acme signs pointing to the mosque on either side, one says Jewish temple, the other says Christian worship center, then being that the moose limbs are already all whacked out they will have no choice but to bomb themselves..maybe they will ask themselves if they are converts and have to kill themselves just for the huh wtf of it...
Can somebody please explain the difference between a gay bar and a pork restaurant?
It’s not “our” response....it’s Gutfeld’s
Yeah, one has lots of pulled stuff and the other has lots of pushed in stuff. Hope that helps.
Posters seem to forget Jews aren’t thrilled about pork either.
And I’m sure they’re not thrilled with the Cordoba House, either!
Pork restaurant, not poke restaurant.
K...thanks. I thought they were just two different names for places people went to gobble pork.
Gutfeld’s proposal has already gone viral and ideas for names for the bar — conveying the Islamic flavor — have been pouring in from the blogosphere. They include “Al Gayda,” “The Velvet Sword,” “Party Like You’re an Infidel”, “72 Virgins,” and my favorite, “The Ba’ath Party.”
...and simply call it "Queers".
Either that or "Queens in Manhattan".
No, a gay bar is Greg Gutfeld’s response. I don’t support the idea. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. I won’t promote an agenda that isn’t mine.
Personally, I think the gay bar idea would backfire. These extremists are willing to kill us because they believe we’re morally bankrupt. Proving their point won’t dissuade them.
Might I suggest visiting 7-11 and purchasing lots of fried pork-rines to be liberally scattered on the sidewalks front entrance 5 times a day ?
Maybe a farmer w/ a truck load of unwanted pork parts/blood would be willing to ‘salt’ the site.
LOL
Should open a Jewish cultural center next door as well.
We DVR “Red Eye” every night, but haven’t seen this one yet. I also love the idea of the BBQ Pork Restaurant on the other side!
