Greg Gutfeld Outlines His Islamic Gay Bar Plans On Last Night’s Red Eye

» 65 comments

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.

The different ways this can play out were made clear by the reactions of Gutfeld’s guests. As funny a guy as Jim Norton is, it’s clear he’s just into this for the sake of annoying the mosque’s planners and not about making any kind of stand on gay rights. And, while John Gibson’s concern for the safety of Gutfeld’s patrons is certainly justified, his genuine fear that they will be butchered within a community center (and not just, perhaps, by someone who has frequented it) seems pretty insensitive.

It might seem silly to try and hold Gutfeld’s idea to such a high standard, but he can do something really interesting here. He’s basically accusing the people behind the mosque in lower Manhattan of having ulterior motives than their claims of “tolerance.” If he wants to really critique them, he should make it clear that, while he obviously is trying to get under their skin, he is also honestly working for tolerance himself. Sure, that may not have been what Gutfeld originally planned, but he has a chance to do something really important here (a chance that “TV people” only get, say, once a career) and I hope he makes the most of it.

    What a wonderful opportunity for Muslims to demonstrate their own tolerance for others.

  • mikepower

    I wonder if the mosque people will pressure the mayor to not issue a business license to the bar?
    He would probably cave in.

  • lonestar77

    Yeah Jon, and while he’s at it maybe he can raise some money for Obama, throw eggs at Geoge Bush’s house, sue a doctor for malpractice, require his workers to drive a prius, remove toilet paper from the bathrooms, and donate his earnings to a drug-addicted family on welfare. Now there’s an idea you can throw your support behind!

  • Moderate

    I hope Gutfeld has a permit to carry a weapon, you do not joke about homosexuality and the Muslim religion.

  • WilsonTheHeretic

    This is a completely fantastic idea. I would, honest to god, donate money or invest in some way to see this get done if given the opportunity. And if I weren’t half a country away I’d even stop by on opening night, in spite of my heterosexual leanings, just to show my support by dropping some cash on a few rounds.

  • writer

    Ahmadinejad stated there are no gays in Iran. Wonder what happened to them?

  • notsofast

    I hope he calls it “Adam’s Rib”- that will drive ‘em nuts.

  • Bootleghaircut

    I’m just glad to see so many conservative backing the gays on this!!!

    I wonder if Tony Perkins will like this new pro-gay GOP!!!!!

    Great!

  • Extremegop

    I think they would like a gay bar, most muslims I worked with in Saudi Arabia indicated their love for other men, kissing at the guard gates and such. The world needs an education regarding the numerous gay muslims.

  • writer

    As long as they don’t kiss in public.

  • Bootleghaircut

    and after the place is built it can become a gay haven for gay muslims and then they can work on making sure prop 8 stays overturned!!!

    Yes send money to greg to have this place built IMMEDIATELY!!!!

    WAY TO GO FOX!!!!

  • naoma

    And can someone else open a shelter for homeless dogs very nearby. You know, Muslims believe
    dogs are “unclean.”

  • writer

    As long as the footbath doesn’t block the public sidewalk, all should go well.

  • dlauf87

    Progress=Imams wearing V-necks and Assless chaps.

    Is this not the best idea ever?

    Geez, how many houseboys does a guy have to go through to get a little cred?

    They need to quit hanging them and dropping walls on them and stuff too.

  • murphy0071

    I hope the new gay bar is very upscale and even more architecturally aware than any Mosque. They need a minaret so their can be a call to be feyer. The most fey gay could take goodies to the Mosque so as to invite our illustrious Muslim guests for a visit to help them understand and accept people of all types. If so inclined the new Mosque could have a stoning room, quite unlike a sauna.

  • printbrat

    Where’s the DONATE NOW button?

  • Bootleghaircut

    And now Larry Craig, Mark Foley and Ted Haggard can have a place to hang out free from ridicule!!!!

    EVEN MORE AWESOME!!!!

  • murf

    Mecca 69 !

  • newzmaker

    A nice hotel next door to the mosque, would also be a great idea. We could call it the Ramadan Inn, fully equipped with a restaurant, a pub, and call girls. Thankfully, in America, using our freedoms against others, whom delight in using our freedoms against us, works both ways. Perfect.

  • murphy0071

    When I earlier said “stoning room,” I meant a room to get stoned with high grade hashish to taste for the Muslims or their guests. God, people are so vengeful.

  • writer

    Since it’s New York, the gar bar will probably have a bouncer manning a velvet rope. The overflow crowd can go into the mosque.

  • writer

    Oops. Should say ‘gay’ bar. A gar bar is for fish. Something else entirely.

  • RTB

    This is genius, greg is the man.
    If this goes down,it’s only fitting opening night to have gwar headline and bill schultz do a full drag queen standup routine. .

    This is why it would never become a successful gay bar. It would be a haven for teaturds.

  • ImNotBlue

    I don’t understand why you wouldn’t like this, Big F. You’ve stated your goal around here is simply to piss people off… so I’d think something like this would be right up your alley.

  • RTB

    I’m not in the blue, isn’t that the goal of about 80% of the cyber clones here

    True… but he actually admits it.

    I thought this was all about respecting the sanctity or whatever the hell it is of Ground Zero? Reading through the comments of the gay-hating wingnuts here, I see they’re all for this. So, mosque in the shadow of WTC — EVIL! Gay bar in the shadow of WTC — best idea anyone ever had.

    Consistency has never been a wingnut’s strong point.

  • DaSicilian

    And I’ll open a strip club that serves BBQ Pork….I love it when a plan comes together!

  • apf

    This is a clever stunt, but that’s likely all this is. While it may get enough momentum behind it to trigger some hypocritical protest on the part of Gutfeld’s target, it’s transparently unlikely to see the light of day as an actual business, which is why, I assume, there’s this equally-transparent attempt on the part of the author to Concern Troll the enterprise if it does not end up being a massive jutting erect middle-finger to all religious institutions, not just the Cordoba House.

  • Bootleghaircut

    We gotta get this gay bar built at ALL COSTS!!!

    Maybe the Tea party caucus can preside over the ground breaking!!!!

    I love this new gay friendly GOP.

    Send Gutfled your spare cash right freaking now.

    Oh and the building should be penis shaped with a mount rushmore motif as the roof featuring the faces of Reagan, Brent Bozell, Rush Limbaugh, and Greg!!!!

    The conservative momument to gaydom!!!!

    Get er done!!!!

    It’s the HYPOCRISY of the radical left Democrats he’s illustrating.

    We hear all about “tolerance & sensitivity” from Democrats, EXCEPT when it comes to Muslims DEMANDING the mosque be built there & only there, despite the PAIN it causes for so many!

    Remember in November: A Vote for ANY Democrat is a Vote for the Obama Regime & this type of Muslim tyranny!

    Greg’s new gay bar will need a name. How about Ground Queero?

    Not only will the bar cater to gay male Islamics, I’m sure straight and gay Mormon males (who don’t drink) will enjoy the floor that exclusively serves non-alcholic beverages. Perhaps strike up a conversation, say, comparing prophets.

    Greg’s idea for a gay bar in this location is brilliant and patriotic. If by brilliant and patriotic, you mean brilliant and patriotic.

    This could be a new meme:

    “The dancers at the Foxhole in Coschocton County, Ohio, are used to arriving at work to the sounds of protests from members of the nearby New Beginnings Ministries church. But the same couldn’t quite be said for the churchgoers, who showed up for services on Sunday and were greeted by the sight of bikini-clad protesters.”

    I’m have faith that our upstanding, “rock-hard” conservative participants will have no problem with this exercise of free speech.

  • HHRicot

    Don’t forget the exchange on CBS in 1996 between [Bill Clinton’s (ugly little Zionist) Secretary of State] Madeleine Albright who was then the US ambassador to the United Nations, and Lesley Stahl. Albright was maintaining that sanctions had yielded important concessions from Saddam Hussein.

    Stahl: “We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And you know, is the price worth it?”

    Albright: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price.. ­ we think the price is worth it.”

    They read that exchange in the Middle East. It was infamous all over the Arab world.

    Zionism with its grip over the US media, Congress, Supreme Court, Hollywood and Wall Street, STINKS!

    If he follows through with his plan, we can just see the introductions now:

    Hello Muslims, nice to meet you. We are your neighbors, the Gays. We don’t want this to be like the Hipsters and the Hasids in Williamsburg. This is not Brooklyn, this is Manhattan. Let’s all just keep it classy and get along.

    Just amazing. Does that mean I can start with my plans to open a GAY bar next to his church? I’m sure my bar music would sound better than his church choir. 1st Day introduction: Muslims hate gays but you’re church’s reverend is welcomed here if he feels like acting gay !
    Another thought. How come Jews were allowed to build the “Memorial to the Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust” in Berlin, Germany? Wasnt it supposed to be built anywhere BUT GERMANY?
    Its true when they say: “People of Faith might posses SOME faith but usually those with the most Faith & big mouths also got the least brains”

    Why do some Muslims bring up Jews or Israel in all their arguments? Your argument about the Holocaust memorial at a site where millions of Jews died does not even make sense. Because Jews were the victims, not the perpetrators.

    BECAUSE…1st it was not a majority of Muslims who died on 9/11….and second it was 19 radical Muslims who committed those crimes. They were the perpetrators, not the victims like the Holocaust.

    So your argument does not even make sense..and once again why do many Muslims bring up Jews or Israel? I know that your Quran specifically targets Jewish people and it openly says that, but your argument is DUMB.

  • Latin2

    Nasser,

    Why can’t non-Muslims visit Mecca and Medina?

    Why is it ILLEGAL to build a church, temple or synagogue in Saudi Arabia?

    Why can’t people of other faiths practice theirs in Saudi Arabia?

    Sounds very intolerant to me.

    Ok now why did I bring it up is easy. Its because MOST Americans & especially the conservative media are too afraid to touch anything if a jewish is also doing it. Second of all, who said that the 19 were muslims in the 1st place? Real Muslims dont consider them Muslim. Third where’s Isreal in my Quotation? or are u just implying that every Jew is an Israeli? which is wrong too. What I meant is are Germans more tolerant than Americans?

    YOU were the one who brought up Jews into the debate, not me. Meaning that you have a problem with the Holocaust memorial in Germany and Jewish people.

    Even your remark about the media not touching “any Jewish”…what does that mean? What is the only thing that is connected to Jewish people in the MSM lately? That would be Israel. If not then please explain what the MSM (Mainstream Media) is NOT reporting about “anything Jewish”.

    As for the 19 murderers not being Muslims…LOL…that is pure craziness. They were DEVOUT Sunni Muslims.

    …and you must not have read my response. How can YOU compare WW II Germans WHO MURDERED ONE MILLION JEWS…to Americans?

    It was DEVOUT practicing Sunni Muslims who murdered 3,000 innocent civilians…and it was WW II Nazi German leaders who murdered 3,000 civilians at Ground Zero.

    Building a mosque near Ground Zero is DISRESPECTFUL to the memories of the families who lost loved ones on 9/11. Then the mayor of NYC offered the builders FREE land somewhere else…and they declined…show their intolerance to the feelings of those family members

    Yes I brought it up & now the fire will start as usual; starting with you. I replied why I brought it up & now you’re proving me right by implying that whoever bring that subject up is anti-Semitic. Again, I never said I have a problem with the Holocaust memorial in Germany, I was just referencing the tolerance part. As for the media & touching Jewish properties well you can prove me wrong by indicating any examples of how the American media is as open in their coverage of extremists of people of faith. I cant remember the MSM reporting thoroughly anything about 100′s of children & elderly dying everyday during the GAZA attacks. Compare that to MSM coverage of 1 extremist using 1 missile to target an Israeli settlement which is equally wrong too.
    19 DEVOUT Sunni Muslims u say? Well HELL with that; we can now announce that Christian GERMANS were taking orders from CHRIST himself when they committed their crimes against the Jews; & thus we should BAN all churches from being built in GERMANY & all over the world. Come on; I thought I was talking to a reasonable person here. I laugh at those who ask for tolerance when they cant even practice it @ HOME.
    NEXT plz !!!

    As Greg Guttfield showed, the group behind the building said to him by not considering Islamic sensibilities he was not fostering outreach and understanding. Yet their construction on that site is offensive to American sensibilities, so their own claim of outreach and understanding is fraudulent.

    Then you proved me right.

    1st I wrote why do many Muslims bring up Jews and ISRAEL into an argument? Jews and Israel having nothing to do with this argument. Yet you brought it up…and then you tried to deny it.

    You are aware that it was Christian UK, USA, Australia with the Atheist Soviet Union who defeated Germany. The Mufti of Palestine BACKED HITLER during WW II and was even his ally. The Mufti of Palestine helped recruit Muslims from Albania and Bosnia to join Hitlers bridges. Hitler stated that he wanted to get rid of religion. After WW II many Nazis escaped to Argentina AND the Middle East.

    You still are asking for tolerance, BUT have not answered why non-Muslims can’t visit Mecca and Medina, nor build any churches or temples in Saudi Arabia…That is very intolerant.

    If you were a REAL Muslim you would’ve added (PBUH) after Christ….no?

    Since he was one of Islam’s prophets.

    So you’re implying that Americans should be sensible against Islam? Or are the Mosque builders trying to emphasize that “Yes ALL MUSLIMS support the 9/11 attacks & we are building this mosque to show how our faith is NOT understanding”
    Hosting Muslims near the site will provoke better understanding of the horrors of the acts committed & how important it is to fight those extremist from within the faith. Thank you

    uh…that doesn’t even make sense. It has not provoked “better understanding” it has had the opposite effect…so they should withdraw it or build it somewhere else for REAL “understanding”.

    In fact after 70% of New Yorkers came out against the Ground Zero mosque and the mayor of NYC offered the builders FREE land to build it somewhere else…THEY REFUSED.

    Showing their true intent. They even wanted to open the mosque on 9-11. Showing the builders are INTOLERANT and disrespectful to the feelings of the families of the 9/11 victims.

    I believe that Greg Gutfeld got that stupid idea (9th August) from vindex21′s comments (on 7th August) from this page of Mediaite’s coverage of Fareed Zakaria’s CNN segment. Here’s the link with the date proving it.

    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fareed-zakaria-ground-zero-mosques-version-of-islam-is-osama-bin-ladens-nightmare/

    Now lets hope that more FOX NEWS people get in the act of generating their own imaginative bigoted ideas instead of copy pasting any blogger’s night thoughts.

    Now lets look @ what Glen Beck thinks while he’s interviewing Gutfeld:

    GUTFELD: You know, the way that New York is going to accept the mosque, the mosque should accept a gay bar. You see that?

    BECK: Yes.

    GUTFELD: The correlation —

    BECK: Now, as someone who wouldn’t want this gay bar built next to my church or, you know, a temple of mine, do you think it might be a little over the top?

    GUTFELD: No. I think it has to be done, Glenn. It has to be done. And if I’m not the person to do it, somebody must do it.

    BECK: Somebody must do it?
    ………………………………………………
    Hmmm ,, so Gutfeld also doesnt mind other Gay bars opening near churches & temples. Well a Muslim in America should be ok with a bar next to his islamic center as should a conservative chiristian or any faith follower in that manner. So lets see how this is plays out & how tolerance can be learnt from any other faith.

    F tolerance. The fanatical end of the ‘religion of peace’ kills non-believers. Kills them dead. They don’t need a mosque within 600 feet of the worst attack on this nation. Build it somewhere else if you must. Let’s hear from more Muslims than just that great woman on O’Reilly this week.

    Why is it always the weak lefty-flowers that stamp their feet and demand Americans be tolerant. We are already the most tolerant nation on the face of the earth.

    So you’re implying that Americans should be sensible against Islam? Or are the Mosque builders trying to emphasize that “Yes ALL MUSLIMS support the 9/11 attacks & we are building this mosque to show how our faith is NOT understanding”Hosting Muslims near the site will provoke better understanding of the horrors of the acts committed & how important it is to fight those extremist from within the faith. Thank you

    I was using the words of the mosque orginizers. If appealing to sensibilities was the crux of their moves then they would build elsewhere, because doing so there is offending the sensibilities of many Americans.

    Because the mosque builders are being intolerant to the feelings of the majority of the family members of the 9/11 victims.

    Oh man Oh Man Oh Man …. So a poll taken 2 days after Greg Gutfeld’s proposal is supposed to sustain it’s numbers thru-out the month, year or even a decade?
    Are we talking about tolerance on the long run or tolerance after the BIGOT party starts off?
    Latin2 is the AMERICAN constitution written to favor the majority or to protect the minority? Were all those killed in the 9/11 attacks NON Muslims who were fighting a war & those who committed the crime where acting upon a Universal Muslim order?

    36% of those polled believe that Muslims don’t even have the RIGHT to build the culture center in the first place whether in NY Ground Zero or anywhere else. So this poll also reflects that those being polled don’t even have enough knowledge about their own constitution. Can we really consider their views to be the ultimate standard? or even how can you even be sensitive towards those insensitive to your faith.
