Wally Herger's speech was predictable and meant to pump up the crowd of his constituents. I began to wonder why I bothered to attend. And then people lined up to take turns speaking on the microphone to ask questions or make comments. That too was predictable.
Then one of the speakers, a man announced he was a proud "right-wing terrorist. That was not predictable and totally amazed me. Even more amazing was Wally's response. I actually heard him say "Amen, God bless you. There is a great American. The crowd cheered; well some of them did.
I was stunned, chilled to the bone! They actually applauded him for saying that!
Fortunately the press was there and in the days to follow the story ended up first in the Mt. Shasta News. http://www.mtshastanews.com/news/x769902147/Congressman-Herger-calls-Obama-plan-threat-to-democracy
