What amazed me most about this video was the young people who allowed themselves to be filmed saying things like "I'd never vote for a black man."  Even the older folks in this video don't go that far—they stick with the garden-variety "Muslim", "birth certificate", "terrorist" nonsense. 

Young people, more than anyone, have to know these clips are going on the internet, onto YouTube, forever.  One day, they'll hopefully have outgrown some of these hateful feelings, but they'll never escape the shelf-life of these moving images.  And if they're coming to a political rally, it's not a stretch to assume they're politically active enough to consider running for office someday themselves.  Cue opposition researchers with a handy video circa 2008 documenting their opponent's proud racism.
