Audience members at a McCain rally in Cedar Falls on Sunday were removed because they looked like they "might be" protesters. It was mostly young people.

Maybe they thought they would act like the audience at the Daily Show.
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.
Elborno said after seeing the people who were asked to leave, she was concerned that McCain’s staffers were profiling people on appearance to determine who might be a potential protester.
"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."
Isn't the internet age great? There is no longer such a thing as a quiet story.
In other news, who knew McCain still had supporters?
