Pre-emptive ejection: Audience members removed at McCain rally in Cedar Falls

By Dylan Boyle / Iowa State Daily

Audience members escorted out of Sen. John McCain’s, R-Ariz., campaign event in Cedar Falls questioned why they were asked to leave Sunday’s rally even though they were not protesting.

David Zarifis, director of public safety for the University of Northern Iowa, said McCain staffers requested UNI police assist in escorting out “about four or five” people from the rally prior to McCain’s speech...

...“When I started talking to them, it kind of became clear that they were kind of just telling people to leave that they thought maybe would be disruptive, but based on what? Based on how they looked,” Elborno said. “It was pretty much all young people, the college demographic.”...

...“I saw a couple that had been escorted out and they were confused as well, and the girl was crying, so I said ‘Why are you crying? and she said ‘I already voted for McCain, I’m a Republican, and they said we had to leave because we didn’t look right,’” Elborno said. “They were handpicking these people and they had nothing to go off of, besides the way the people looked.”

2. Somebody said mccain was bush on steroids..
I believe it.

Have you ever heard of such a fucked up mess? Outside of that War ON Iraq that they started, of course?

That's a real hard way to learn you voted for a shithead.

5. Hopefully she just learned a very important lesson
Maybe next time she votes she'll remember her very bad assessment of the character of the Republican candidate.

12. Way to go, John!
Keep kicking people out and turning them away!

Do they look "wrong"? Kick 'em out of the event!


Do they fail an ideological litmus test!

Kick 'em out of the party!



Keep going, discriminate and alienate your way to irrelevancy!
