Meanwhile, in the crowd was our good friend Neal Horsley, along with his
scary sidekick, Jonathan Toole. The First Freedom, Olaf Childress'
patently racist (and now anti-Semitic, complete with references to the
"Jew World Order") and neo-Confederate paper, was being handed out, along
with a variety of radical anti-abortion tracts and even several pieces of
literature attacking Catholics ("papists," etc.).
One guy had a sign that read, "The 10 Commandments or..." then, on the other side, "The 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto." Now, there's a choice!
Overall, the whole thing has had the flavor of a New Yorker cartoon, the
classic depicting a guy with a long white beard and a sign screaming
"REPENT!" Lots of sackcloths and ashes, etc. Trucks with giant photos of
aborted fetuses, another one painted all over with Irwin Schiff anti-tax
propaganda.
Of course, the chief extremist in all of this is Roy Moore.
Mark also informs me that Hutton Gibson was in the crowd. I also gather
that Flip Benham of "Operation Rescue" notoriety has been hanging out in
Montgomery. Among the other extremist participants:
-- W.N. Otwell, who leads camouflage-garbed protesters at abortion clinics and who has protested "race-mixing," calling America a "white man's country."
-- Greg Dixon, the leader of the extremist Indianapolis Baptist Temple.
-- Michael Hill, president of the neo-Confederate (and definitively racist, not to mention openly secessionist) League of the South.
-- John Cripps, a noted neo-Confederate.
Yes, but their beliefs make them happier and healthier, so that's OK then :)
