The Saturday Moms for Liberty gala in Huntsville, AL was entertaining in many ways. The most entertaining part was yet another anemic protest from the Indivisible-50501 Movement, who decided that Moms for Liberty choosing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as a keynote speaker was simply beyond the pale. Once Greene was announced in late May, the Soros-funded bunch of peaceful agitators have been rallying, organizing, and planning to come out in force, because hate has no home in Huntsville... or something.
Months of planning only managed to produce a paltry showing of 150 people. According to Emily Jones, Chairman of the Moms for Liberty Madison Chapter, the attendance at the gala was 200. So much winning.
The Huntsville Police Department and the Madison County Sheriff's Department were visible and on alert. Security was high because MTG is a sitting congress critter who has had several death threats lodged against her, along with being swatted, according to MTG at the event, "more times than I can count." On top of this, the Thursday before Saturday's gala, one brain trust decided to graffiti The Brewers Cooperative, the venue where the event was being held. The tag was a death threat and a vulgar slur directed at Moms for Liberty and MTG.
The graffiti read, “F*** MTG and M4L. Shoot those crackers.”
The irony in this message is that the business owner of The Brewers Cooperative is a Black man named Chris Horn. But these people aren't exactly Mensa-level thinkers.
The protest group was mercifully relegated to a piece of lawn near the parking entrance, well away from the venue. So, while you could hear them as you walked to The Brewer's Cooperative, they did not disrupt the event.
But they were there to make noise, and make noise they did, while displaying signs which maligned MTG, and uttering chants like "Huntsville, we own these streets," "F*ck Trump," and, "This is what democracy looks like." You know, all the original ones.
One of the protesters, with a shirt that said, "You Are Enough," either had Tourette's or was a dance major, because he could not keep still.
Then there were the "leaders" of the protest. One who decided that draping himself with the American flag afforded him more legitimacy than the other rainbow flags on display.
The other was a keffiyeh-draped woman who I distinctly remember leading the "Hands Off" Huntsville protest back in April. Girl's gotta eat, I guess, and these protests do pay.
But the most hilarious part is that just as the group was getting revved up, they were drowned out by someone with a bigger microphone. This "Turn or Burn" preacher parked himself on the lawn across from the 50501-Indivisible protesters and began to preach while lodging insults against the protesters. In this age of seeker-sensitive, woke Christianity, this guy was definitely a throwback. His wife had a supersized Bible that said, "Prepare to Meet Thy God." Not exactly subtle.
When one of the protesters decided to wave their "Human" flag with LGBTQ+ colors in their face, the wife just laughed at them. From that point forward, it was like watching a comedy sketch. The 50501-Indivisible protesters attempted to chant down wannabe Billy Sunday, but he was louder and way more articulate. The protesters even attempted to engage with him, but the Sheriff's officers were having none of it. They gently directed the 50501-Indivisible bunch back to their patch of lawn. It was like watching a balloon deflate as they simply stood and stared at wannabe Billy Sunday and his wife as he spewed insults and quoted scripture. The leaders finally decided that they should march around the block in order to be heard and make their presence known.
A supposedly organized group of professional protesters bested by a sidewalk preacher. I still cannot stop laughing.
Back at The Brewers Cooperative, everyone was having a great time, including MTG. In her keynote, she made an observation about the people outside versus the people within the venue. You'll find it at the end of this hilarious montage.
