I just came back. I didn't take a camera or stay for the whole event (my lower back was killing me) but I was there for Hugh Hewitt, Tom McClintock, Wayne Perryman, Ben Shapiro, Sonja Schmidt, and Congressman McCotter. I left while Dick Patten was speaking (he was doing great, just like I said, my back hurt.) Good turn-out, probably 300 people, cars going buy honked and people waved, I didn't see any unpleasantness.

The Patrick Henry speech was awesome. Pat Boone sang (I could have done without that, but I just don't like to be sung to.) Ben Shapiro was GREAT, he has this rapid-fire delivery that really snaps you awake. (And he's such a cutie!) That McCotter fellow was the best speaker. He has a Presidential Radio voice that is both soothing and sonorous, beautiful enunciated although a little sing-song, and if he ever gets on the national radar in a serious way, comedians will have great, great fun imitating him.

I'm curious who the fellow in the crowd was that had the big yellow Don't Tread On Me flag draped around him. Hat and sunglasses. Just had "FREEPER" written all over him. LOL...

Thanks for the report, glad you were there!

Here's a Video of Thaddeus McCotter speaking at the event.

Denied air time at GOP Debates, Congressman Thad McCotter talks about his visions for America and American Exceptionalism, at the Beverly Hills Tea Party in Beverly Hills, California September 18, 2011. Filmed by Sutton Porter, Asst. Producer of the Rick Amato Show. (a little bit shaky video)

This guy rocks!
