Mo Brooks wanted people to come to his town hall meeting and they did.  Not just members of the South Huntsville Civic Association either, but also Occupy Huntsville participants and other skeptics of Mo's brand supply side economic "conservatism."

Mo Brooks town hall meeting gets tense at times

 "There won't be any protesting, we have no signs," said Mark Jones, an engineer from Huntsville who brought a list of questions for the group to ask. "We don't want a fight. We want a level playing field."

The first woman in line asked why the government does not close corporate tax loopholes, allowing Brooks to make his oft-repeated point that increasing taxes on businesses and the wealthy hurts jobs.

When the woman began to press her point, the crowd grew noisy, with some shouting "Next!" to get her to step away from the microphone. That scene repeated itself several times throughout the evening as some in line challenged Brooks on his answers.
