"Tea Party" speaker gets crazy cheers for anti-immigrant rhetoric - until they realise that the "filthy, disease-spreading immigrants taking the jobs of real Americans" he's talking about are *Europeans*. Christopher Columbus Go Home!

You'd like the guy who's trying to rescue marriage in California by banning divorce.

That is awesome.

Less awesome was the crowd reaction to the protesters:

Unfortunately, some of the pro-MINN-SIR audience made up for what they lacked in humor through the use of violence. Both Danielson and I saw middle-aged men attack young protesters, knocking one off a bike before he started throwing punches at the young man.

Just as shocking was the reaction of the state police working the rally, who pushed back those being attacked, rather than those attacking the counter protesters.

Honestly? I think this makes it more awesome--it completely proves their point. With the right media coverage (which they won't get, unfortunately) this could easily point out how stupid folks who don't do their research get their voices heard as if they're rational.
