An angry man just confronted Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) at a town hall meeting in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

The man was nearly in a physical fight with another attendee, and some shoving was involved. Specter calmed everyone down before it got out of hand, and then the man confronted the Senator with a speech about how he doesn’t have the ability to influence his government like special interests in Washington do.

“One day, God’s gonna stand before you,” the man concluded. “And he’s gonna judge you and the rest of your damn cronies up on the Hill — and the rest of your damn cronies up on the hill — and then you can get your just desserts.”
