Immigration activists to protest outside President Obama fundraiser (Los Angeles)

An immigration rights group is ushering in President Obama’s visit to Los Angeles with a bit of Hollywood flare.

More than 100 immigration protesters are expected to gather in Hancock Park late Monday afternoon dressed in costumes from “The Wizard of Oz.”

“It’s a story about searching for a dream, searching for that promised land,” said Jorge-Mario Cabrera, spokesman for immigrant rights organization CHIRLA. “We find there’s a lot of parallels.”

According to a CHIRLA statement, Dorothy represents Obama’s “hopeful vision” in a “land of bickering.”

The heartless Tin Man is being equated with the Republican Party. The Cowardly Lion is a stand-in for the Democrats’ congressional leaders. And the Scarecrow represents politicians “pitting immigrants against the rest of America.”

Wizard of Oz. We’re not in Kansas anymore.

euphemism for gay/homosexual lifestyle—unmistakeble to the Hollywood crowd.

Hmmm. Judy Garland, etc., etc. No way those are "immigration protesters." Those are Prop 8 protesters. Must be moonlighting (ahem) for another Lefty cause.

And Zero the Great is playing the part of the Wizard. I wonder who is hiding behind that curtain.
