Catholic League president Bill Donohue, who once took on the creators of "South Park," is now crusading against the off-Broadway hit show, "Stairway to Hell," produced by Vegas impresarios Jeff Beacher and Randy Weiner. The rock musical involves rockers and a heaven/hell theme.
Donohue lamented in a press release, "Men and women are dying everyday in Iraq to keep America free. It is sickening to note that some young Americans think freedom means the right to insult, degrade and abuse the sensibilities of Christians." Donohue neglected to mention whether he thought free speech was part of that fight.
"Hell" producer Randy Weiner fired back, "We're not interested in hurting anyone or disparaging anyone's religious beliefs. This is a show meant to amuse and entertain, and our sole intent is for the audience to leave our show feeling that they enjoyed themselves during the time they spent with us. It saddens me that Mr. Donohue is trying to exploit the suffering of our American soldiers to further his own crusade."
Beacher has now hired personal bodyguards for the show's cast, saying, "Donohue hates 'Stairway To Hell,' which makes it a perfect show for my audience. He says the show deserves to be in hell, so I'm taking it to Vegas where it belongs!"

Donohue is a self-interested hipocrite who waves the bible in the name of his own profit related agendas. This is the same nutcase who crusaded against 2 Howard Stern wannabe shock-jocks after they rewarded listeners with cash to have sex in St. Patricks Cathedral, and had them kicked off of the air. They went on to satellite radio where they continued to blast him in the worst way, and after he received a healthy donation from a certain radio company, he publicly stated that he forgave them and believed that they were sorry and repentant for their actions, while they continue to broadcast material that goes against everything he supposedly believes in!
He hates Stairway to Hell because he knows that it's title is the path to his ultimate destiny.
these assholes should die and goto heaven already! leave the devil worshiping to the real men like us! $UUUCKKK yeah duuuude!
