Announcing the Gay March to Mecca |

HELLO EVERYONE. I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I've been
very busy working on my book and television and web projects. However,
after receiving this press release from the Huffington Post, I had no
choice but to return. This is an absolutely fantastic idea, and I urge
everyone to participate.
PRESS RELEASE
EMBARGO DATE: December 15, 2006, 4 PM.
IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM AND TOLERANCE, AND IN HARMONY WITH OUR GAY MUSLIM
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE PROUDLY ANNOUNCE THE FIRST MARCH TO MECCA,
FEBRUARY 14, 2007
Human Rights Watch, Moveon.org, ACT-UP, the Huffington Post and David
Geffen are proud to present the March to Mecca, a celebration of peace
that calls all gay brothers, sisters and people undergoing sex-
reassignment to march to the holiest of holy cities, Mecca, the capital
city of Saudi Arabia's Makkah province on Valentine's Day, February 14,
2007.
The march, a brainchild of activists and celebrities who acknowledge
that more gays are dying from Islamic fundamentalism than from the
policies of George W. Bush, will begin 12 noon sharp in Jeddah, the
stunning night-life friendly Saudi Arabian city located on the coast of
the Red Sea.
"Not marching in these countries, in this era of terror, seems
cowardly," says event co-organizer
Sharon Stone. "I'm embarrassed to say at social gatherings I even blamed
the United States for
everything. But I realized it's the radical Muslims - not the US - who
want gays dead, and for that I am truly sorry."
Paris' gay Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, who was stabbed by an
immigrant Muslim, is organizing the European contingency which features
Limahl, Johnny Hallyday and Ciccolina. Whoopie Goldberg, along with
Robin Williams will be hosting the kick off party at the Sheraton
Riyadh. There will be refreshments and karaoke, hosted by David Hyde
Pierce.
Beth Ditto, lead singer of the Gossip, who will perform with the newly
reformed Yaz, thinks the march is overdue. "Forget right wing
Christians. They don't hang gays for being gay. Islamofascists do.
That's why were asking moderate, non-violent Muslims across the Western
Province to join hands and embrace gay people everywhere."
"Almost half of all Muslim countries outlaw gay relations," says
Huffington Post contributor Gene Stone, "and more than 70 countries ban
all homosexuality, sometimes making it punishable by death. And here I
am, blogging about how bad Renew America is. LOL."
"Think about the two teenagers convicted of homosexuality who were
hanged in Iran last year," says Harry Shearer, "It makes all the hay we
made over Mark Foley at the Huffington Post seem stupid. I, for one, am
tired of being part of the problem."
The March to Mecca will snake through the sandy, sunny valley of
Abraham, and it is urged that you pack sunblock and plenty of bottled
water. "Don't forget to blog!" adds co-sponsor Arianna Huffington. After
the march, Rep Barney Frank of the U.S. House of Representatives will
host a special VIP rave on the Queen Boat, a floating disco on the Nile.
Hugh Jackman will perform hits from "The Boy From Oz."
FOR ACCOMMODATIONS: Go here.

Hey Fred, no need to feel rejected just becauuse you serve the Dark
Side. I put up this announcement in the comments section at Huffpo and
urge you to attend!
"So as not to leave you Republicans out, there will be a ³Freedom
Rider² march from Basra to Baghdad led by Donald Rumsfeld and *****
Cheney. Celebrity guests will include Bill Oı Reilly, Rush Limbaugh,
and Ann Coulter, who will be handing out American flags, bags of candy,
and ³Support our Troops!² ribbons to the local populace. Itıs going to
be a blast!
Now that George Bush, with the help of God Almighty and AIPAC, has
brought peace and freedom to the Middle East, it is time that true
Americans show their support by attending the march and making a
donation to your local fundamentalist church, who will not waste your
money on a bunch of dykes in New Orleans like the evil liberal
government will.
Donıt just sit there in your armchair calling for the genocide of the
entire Muslim world, join with us on the march and let those terrsts
know that we Americans are a strong people, and we will not be
intimidated!
³I realized that I could no longer just play a hero in the movies,² die
hard Republican Bruce Willis was quoted as saying, ³or fund newspaper
ads calling for the destruction of all those terrorists in Lebanon. In
a way, this kind of thing is rather cowardly, and the terrorists know
that, so I decided to show these Muslim cowards that there are still
real men in America. Count on me to be there and no, I will not be
wearing body armor as real men donıt need it.²

Which is not doubt why they allow him to write for Huffpo. The idea
they are letting him post so we libruls can laugh *at* him seems to
escape you.

I'm still trying to figure out why this Gutfeld thinks he has a point...

Cute. You should have put that last line at the top, however.
I think you'd have a lot of Muslims scratching their heads, for sure.

Why spoil the fun?

I rather suspect they'd be fingering their triggers. Not to mention that
Mecca is considered off-limits to infidels.
