The planets must be aligned today, because while I’m seeing eyesbright’s diary about Richard Spencer’s utterly un-American views at the top of the Rec list, I also happened across this utterly brilliant response on my twitterfeed.
It seems Spencer is scheduled to speak this Thursday on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. And it seems that a few folks in town aren’t too thrilled with what he has to say. Particularly the fine folks who run Alligator Brewing, a local Gainesville “nano-brewery”, located inside (because that’s just how nano- it is) Tall Paul’s Brew House, a local bar.
Their response? They will trade free beer for unused tickets to Spencer’s lecture!
This is our town, this is our community, and this [is] how we’re going to Shut. Him. Down.
The greatest part about this whole deal is that Spencer is paying $10,000 to rent the hall, and it’s probably going to be as empty as a church during the Super Bowl. Brilliant!
