McCain Campaign is Age Profiling Supporters

Another reason to not vote for McCain. His staffers believe its okay to pre-emtively throw out supporters from a campaign event based on how they look to untrained staffers. Imagine how much worse your airport experience will be in a McCain administration. Pre-emptive ejection: Audience members removed at McCain rally in Cedar Falls.

"‘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.’

Elborno said even McCain supporters were among those being asked to leave.

‘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.’
