Twin Cities Indymedia reports that a "concerned citizen" infiltrated the speakers' list of an anti-immigration protest in Minnesota over the weekend and delivered a speech on the hazards of lax immigration policies--but, midway through, revealed he was talking about "European immigrants" who took over the country with genocide and brought "diseases like smallpox, which is responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans." (Skip to 2:15 in the video below to see it.)
"Let's round them up and ship them out. We need to hit them at home where they sleep," he says. "I don't care if we separate families, they should have known better when they came here illegally!"
The whole thing ends with a rousing chant of "Columbus go home!"
Listening to the first half of his speech, one can't help but assume he's talking about MS-13 and Latin American gangs. Not so. Here's the video:
Now, compare what Chris Good writes above to my discussion of the incident. Point #2 at the link doesn't apply to him; point #3 is slightly similar to what he has above. He would never tell you about point #1 and certainly never about points #4 and #5. Needless to say, none of that should be a surprise to regular readers of this site.
24AheadDotCom is a spammer, and is inspires general disgust on many political sites for infecting the web with his insipid crap. He never has anything the slightest bit insightful to say, and his sole purpose for writing is to post links to his own utterly worthless site.
We just published a new video of Robert Erickson and the whole scene @ Twin Cities IMC - check it out:

It shows the priceless crowd reaction to Robert's speech and weird weird interactions w/ Ruthie, Sue and the other teabaggers. Columbus go home!
How crazy is this guy that he seems to think comparing current illegal immigrants to a previous group of immigrants that stole land and committed genocide is an arguement for immigration. He seems to be stupid to realize he is making their point.
