But some of the demonstrators didn't seem to notice that the angry speech was targeted at them.
"In Minneapolis where I'm from, we have a huge immigrant population that has been causing a number of problems," Erickson began. "With the economy in recession and so many people laid off and unable to find work, immigrants should not be competing for the few jobs that are open. It's just not fair to the folks who have a claim to this country and have a right to be here."
That was met with with applause, but soon it became clear that "Erickson" had a different notion from the Tea-partiers as to who actually has "a claim to this country."
"Let's send these European immigrants back where they came from," he said to wild cheers. "We need to send every one of them back home. ... They stole this land through genocide and ethnic cleansing."
Even after that comment, some of the anti-immigration protesters didn't seem to notice that "Erickson" was standing up for the right of Native Americans to reclaim their land from the Caucasian population -- even though, as FightBackNews noted, the pro-immigration reform crowd had joined in the cheering.
"Erickson" walked off the stage leading the crowd in a loud chant of "Columbus go home! Columbus go home!"

the honest truth is that these people aren't really racist, they aren't really hateful....they're scared. They have been broken down by some very resourceful people to believe what they are given. They are ready to believe in anything, Obama=hitler...ok why not? Health Care bill=Death Panels...that doesn't sound like the government, by god lets do something about it.
People who are well informed need to stop just assuming that what they know for fact beats a bunch of crazies......you have to come back with crazy to beat it. They aren't REALLY stupid just LAZY and really misinformed, but in a school system like ours, can you blame them.

Difference being the whites made America better (for the time being anyway)… with our current immigration issues, well they're not even close to helping America.

It's not just white people.

In this case it's just about the mocking and insulting.
The camera doesn't even pan. This could just be a set up. And Indians killed thousands as well as ate people. They are not innocent. Nice try.
