Crooks & Liars has the video, also shown on CNN.
Dick Cheney was speaking at the University of Tenn. for the groundbreaking of the Howard Baker Center, when people started heckling. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but it didn’t stop the VP.
Update [2005-11-15 13:22:6 by susanhu]: I called the city editor of the Knoxville News Sentinel who directed me to this report (sub. only) just up on their site:
Anti-war protestors twice tried to disrupt Vice President Dick Cheney during a speech today honoring Tennessee statesman Howard H. Baker Jr. at the University of Tennessee. …
At one point during Cheney’s remarks, two women shouted, “War, what is it good for?”
Another pair of protesters answered from different part of the arena. Police hustled both groups outside.
A few moments later, three protesters raised a green and white sign demanding “Peace Now.”
“Stop the war!” they shouted.
They, too, were escorted outside. Police took the names of the protesters but did not arrest them. …About 50 protesters, most of them appearing to be college age, demonstrated outside the arena. Several carried signs, including one that read “Honor Baker, Impeach Cheney.”
I also called our Brenda Stewart who told me that Knoxville is in a “very red county.” Brenda sent me links to TV station coverage — WBIR TV: “About a half-dozen peace protesters shouted, ‘War, what is it good for?’ They unfurled a banner reading ‘Peace Now’.” … OPEN THREAD!
