However, at the rally in Minneapolis, the demonstrators got punk'd by a young man who called himself "Robert Erickson".

"Erickson" got up and delivered a rant against European immigration. At first the crowd was whooping and hollering as he talked about the rights of "real Americans" -- but then it gradually tapered off as he went on and they realized they'd been had.

Here's the speech:

Hi, my name is Robert Erickson and I’m really excited to be here. Its people like all of you, and events like this that make our country great! Give yourselves a round of applause!

It's no secret that with an invasion of immigrants comes waves of crime. We see them involved in massive theft, in murder, and bringing diseases like smallpox, which is responsible for the death of millions of Americans. These aren't new problems, though -- they have been going on for hundreds of years, and continue to this day.

I say it's time for us to say enough is enough! Are you with me? Are you with me? Let's send these European immigrants back where they came from! I don't care if they are Polish, Irish, English, Italian, or Norwegian! European immigrants are responsible for the most violent and heinous crimes in the history of the world, including genocide and slavery! It's time to restore the sovereignty of people native to this land!

ROFL!

Then it gets ugly:
If you read the rest of the article, it recounts how the counter-protesters were attacked physically by members of the teapotters. The state police pushed back those being attacked and not the ones throwing punches. The violence is ticking up.

2. and when someone gets killed, the Righties will say

"Noone could have seen that coming!" and will claim it was just a lone wolf ...

5. A few bad apples. nt

3. Despite the violence, this is still a brilliant moment . . .

And it highlights in so many ways why these people deserve the contempt they earn.

This sort of protest -- like Billionaires for Wealthcare -- will always triumph over the no-opposable-thumb set because they are truly defective human beings.

Which, sadly, doesn't make them less scary in the individual violence way, but does indicate how incapable they are of organizing themselves into a credible political force. No, they'll always be tools. Keep your eye on the ones letting them out on their leashes.

6. State police always protect the RW.

This is a fact. The fight for civil rights of all kinds-worker's rights and every sort of left wing cause is always met with a fight from the RW state police.

7. I wonder if Norbert was among those state cops...
