Hillary heckled by anti-war activists at Roosevelt University

No word on the Hillary Clinton fundraiser that took place last night at the Crobar--scroll down a few posts for more information on that event.

Earlier Saturday, Hillary spoke at Roosevelt University in Chicago's Loop. She was "greeted" by anti-war activists.

From WBBM-AM News Radio's web site:

Two dozen or so student activists didn't stop U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton during a speech today at Roosevelt University.

Clinton was interrupted several times during a speech at Roosevelt University Saturday morning by young adults protesting the Iraq war.
The Democratic New York Senator was the keynote speaker during the American Democracy Institute's First Leadership Development Summit.

She was there to give a speech about the power young people have in affecting policy in their communities.

Clinton did address the protesters, but she never stopped her speech.

First, a group in the balcony chanted and held signs that together read "Out of Iraq."

They were silenced after a minute or so while someone else held up a sign nearby.

Then a group elsewhere in the auditorium starting chanting.

Some of it was inaudible, but they could be heard at one point saying "Troops Out Now."
