...The fun and games started when a man billing himself as Robert Erickson -- it's unclear that that's his real name -- was introduced by KTLK talking head Sue Jeffers. Erickson sounded right on track with the sentiments of the rally -- at first. Then he turned the tables on the protesters.
"Lets 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," he shouted. "Let's round them up and ship them out. Then we need to hit them at home where they sleep, I don't care if we separate families, they should have known better when they came here illegally."

Erickson's allies in the crowd begin chanting "Columbus go home!" The new video posted to YouTube shows what happens when the protesters collect their wits.

1. Bwa-ha-ha!

My mom's response (as the daughter of a Latvian immigrant and granddaughter of German immigrants) to anyone who complained about "all those foreigners coming here to live" was, "So, what Indian tribe do you belong to?"

2. I've used that approach occasionally

If on otherwise-amiable person goes off on an anti-immigrant spiel, I look sympathetic, nod my head as they rant, and wait for them to finally wind down. When they do, I look at the floor sadly and say, "But I guess if we're not Chippewa, we don't really have a leg to stand on..."

The looks on their faces can be priceless.
