Disturbing video of GOP in full froth shouting down a Puerto Rican convention speaker

The following is a disturbing video of GOP delegates shouting down, intimidating and harassing a Puerto Rican convention speaker as she takes the stage. The anger and intolerance on the delegates faces is truly troubling. Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman, actually has to step in to ask the delegates to show her some respect.
The Republicans can try to paint over their anger and hate with warm and fuzzy slogans, but the following exposes them for who they really are.
A clarification on this video
I realize that there is some controversy about this video. The audio does not completely match up with it. There are definitley some people in the video who are reacting to a motion made not seat Ron Paul delegates. In watching the video there are people who are clearly saying "seat them now" referring to the delegates. That can be seen in the video part. But in the audio, people are definitley shouting down the representative from Puerto Rico with "USA, USA." She tries to speak, but can't. It makes no sense why someone who is upset about the non-seating of delegates would chant "USA, USA." It's a non-sequitur. It does make sense that someone during all the commotion heard "Puerto Rico" and thought immigration issues and started chanting "USA, USA." The majority of Republicans I've talked to don't realize that Puerto Ricans are US citizens and if they do, they don't think they should be. It's just a hard cold truth about Republicans and I think the above video shows it.
