Minority Report anyone?

Quote

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.

Zarifis said while the people who were taken out weren’t protesting or causing problems, McCain’s staff were worried they would during the speech.

“Apparently, they had been identified by those staffers as potential protesters within the event,” Zarifis said.

......

"...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,’”

Oh, they can tell from looking at people now that they'll protest? Nice.

I'm guessing there will be two new Dem voters come 2010 and 2012.

On the one hand, I feel sorry for the woman having to experience such a rude awakening,
...but on the other hand, I want to smack her in the head and say "STFU you got what you deserved you blind twit!"  >:(

Kind of reminds me of a friend of mine. Her father's company were big suppliers to the Nazi war machine,
then one day the family found they had to escape. What were her father and grandfather thinking?

HELLO! These guys were killing jews, ...did you think somehow you'd be spared?  ::)
