Obama has volunteers looking into the crowd and removing muslims and his wife sent volunteers out to find her some white people and you are all worried about this?
Big difference here, Obama is all about his image which has been tarnished and will remove anyone and everyone who looks bad while McCain has the right to remove someone who may cause harm to him, Palin or anyone else in the room.
Pretty bad when the Obama camp looks around to see who will be in camera view before allowing cameras to roll.

Obama is a racist pig.
How does this answer my original question which was "What exactly did this woman do wrong?" Are you capable of providing that answer?
So shameful of McCain's campaign for two reasons. The first that she's obviously just practicing her right to free speech in a public tax funded bldg. (and not even that actively or at all offensively I might add) and two, the point that she raises. Why in Earth would the sign McCain = Bush be offensive if they Bush is the current GOP president, has publicly endorsed McCain numerous times and McCain has publicly supported Bush on the vast majority of issues facing our nation over the past couple years (90+%?).
Remember when at the RNC, a veteran was holding up a huge banner in the top of the venue. And this little old lady is holding a much smaller poster board that just states the obvious, and they issue her a citation and remove her? Was there too much press at the RNC to perpetuate the much invited police state that the GOP has been pushing (and the Dems to a large extent have been facilitating) down our throats for years... holy bejebus, when will some wake up and quit embracing the fascists?!
If you haven't read anything I've said, just ask yourself, how in the heck is this...
She really looks like she could start some rip roaring trouble...give me a break...
What is the big deal? Why is that such an insult? McCain = Bush...They both agree on the same policies...Have the same political views so what is the big deal with the sign?
Given that I didn't see McCain there at all the OP might want to watch the video again for accuracy.
One logical conclusion is that there were no signs allowed at this function as she was told she could stay without the sign or leave with it. She CHOSE to leave rather than get rid of her sign. That indicates to me that she was not there to participate in the town hall meeting in any fashion other than to be disruptive so they threw her out on her fanny.

I would expect Obama camp to do the same.
That's utterly ridiculous. You're making all these assumptions to excuse their inexcusable behavior. If you can't handle the heat, get the F out of the kitchen I say to McCain...
BTW, I'm inclined to believe you may be disruptive in the future so... we're going to give you a ticket ahead of time.

Utterly ridiculous? More so than posting a video that contains no supporting facts? More ridiculous than starting with the CONCLUSION (Woman with sign removed) and then backwards engineering a CAUSE and a naming a guilty party who wasn't even there? Yeah....I'm the ridiculous one.
BTW...I clearly stated 'one logical conclusion'....not 'the right one', not 'the only one'. Unlike some others here, without facts I am not going to claim to know the truth.
Looks to me like signs weren't supposed to be part of the event. She was told she could put the sign away and continue in line without an issue. She chose another route instead.
Would you libs like some french cries to go with your wahhhhhburger?

But it did.
Fact: Lady had sign
Fact: She did not appear to be raising any kind of ruckus.
Fact: She was asked to leave
Fact: She was issued a citation when she FIRMLY questioned why she must leave

Wrong.
Fact: It did not start with the conclusion. It started with her in line when somebody asked her to leave. If it started with the conclusion, the part with her on the street would have come first, citation in tow.
Fact: McCain does not work security at his town hall meetings so it's kind of nonsensical to suggest that a. he wasn't there doing the ejecting, therefore, he's not to blame and b. he doesn't condone this this sort of thing when this video obviously shows that he does. Unless you know of an official response to this somewhere on behalf of McCain's campaign.
So... let's do a repeat of events (as we know them).
1. Old Librarian Hag had what was interpreted as anti-McCain sign/slogan (ironic as it seems)
2. Old Librarian Hag was asked to leave
3. When she asked for a reason, she was given trespassing though she clearly was not trespassing as this event was open to the General Public.
4. Old Librarian Hag was escorted away by Police and handed a citation for trespassing
See occam's razor if you need further assistance on this.
