Mr. man, Stewie, YOU"RE IDIOTS!!!!! Wake up fools

Ok, this one is so flawed it is ceasing to be humorous to me. Let’s go with this in steps. One: Bill O, states at least once a month that he is not a journalist, but a commentator. Two: One of the People in the video mentions that the soldiers fight for our freedom of speech, what about Bill O’s freedom of speech? Or as I surmise you make an exception for him out of pure hatred. Three: Could they have rallied maybe 100 homeless vets for this event in NY? Not some (social worker?) Or is Bill O. correct? Four: Can someone tell me who signed the petitions? Were they signed by Veterans? Or by form generated responses from this site, mediamatters.org, and moveon.org, of course I think we know the truth here. Five: I am a Vet, and a member of the VFW, although the veterans facilities maybe a distance to travel for some they are manned by caring professionals who do a great job for any Vet in trouble. I am proud to have served, but fighting to protect the freedoms of the Bolshevik at home makes me ill.
So Sayeth the Impaler!

It is a devasting and widespread situation.
Anyone who is sitting back in their comfortable arm chair, while people are fighting and dying for us, are very naive, if they aren't aware that the government neglects our Veterans, of ALL ethnicities, backgrounds, etc. All are just as deserving and none are complaining any more than any others. Who is Bill O'Reilly to spout off, when he knows nothing, absolutely NOTHING. These radio-heads and talk show hosts have got way too much power, and their are empty heads.

Many of these Veterans have PTSD so severely from war, that they are unable to function as normal citizens, so they end up on the streets. A caucasion man, who befriended my husband through his work, lived on the streets for years, a Viet Nam Vet, and he was in his late 50's when he got beaten to death by some bored teenagers, on the streets 2 months ago. He was a wonderful and very intelligent person, but thanks to being neglected by our country after serving the very same country, he was turned out.

SAD, very sad. This nation's treatment of our Vets is a true travesty. I just pray that my young son and his friends, who are in the USMC, aren't treated like this when they return. But no doubt they will be, unless Obama becomes POTUS. He is the only one I believe will actually help ALL Veterans and serve their cause.

Shame, shame Bill O'Reilly and those of your who judge, but do not serve.

How did this go from the delivery of a petition to Bill O'Reilly demanding an apology to homeless Veterans to the color of the Veterans? This is silly and we as Americans should not act in this fashion. Let's not act like those we criticize on Fox News!!

These people are hardly credible. Esp. the lady in charge who is like 50. One of the dudes cant even speak English. LOL!!!

WOW Mr. Man, you racist prick. What is your problem, these are troops that fought in wars, put their life in danger and they aren't entitled to a home?.........You Sir are what's wrong with America.

How about you come work with me on the streets, trying to help the homeless and mentally ill...oh yeah you're a POS chicken-shit loser.

My ass, entitlements. You ever think, maybe there are whites out there, and that maybe this is a small sample of vets speaking out? Maybe the white ones they encountered, if any, were too damn proud to complain? Or maybe this isn't the only representive group of homeless vets in the world? Do you think that all homeless vets know each other and have like an annual meeting to discuss their collective well-being and choose specific representatives? What a fucking dumb ass. How about you focus on what's important - Pointing out that Bill O'Reilly's punk ass needs to take his head out of his ass. And by the way, fuck you. Have a nice day, to all other readers.
P.S. Suck it, cake-eater. Typical neocon.

Ever notice the one's complaining are Black?

Can you say, entitlements?

Typical, so, damn typical...

God Bless the vets of this use to be great nation of ours, thank you for protecting us here and home. Risking your lives,and thanks to the families of these vets that have gone through seriously streesful hard times & lose of loved ones. I believe every vet should be able to goto any school they choose for as long as they choose and they should get a home at tax payers expense.
I see too many coming back, living on welfare, and having to get help from salvation army etc.. Just letting you know , you are not forgotten..
-=Love Ya All=- God Bless

HELLO Alexander;
I am quessing that you got out recently. From what I understand the job market is tight. That is bad news for veterans. If you live in areas that have a veteran bias your problems are compounded. I hope it is only a tight job market that has affected you. I totally agree with you on the GI Bill. At the end of WWII a veteran could go to any school in the country. Now, we can only sometimes afford to attend community and state colleges. For the political junkies, both parties are to blame. The Democrats let the GI bill decline for decades. When the Republicans took over they let it continue doing nothing. Vets with a lack of skills when discharged is also well stated. As for myself, if it was not for my wife I would be living in a box. My wife is an RN, she said you made a great choice for a new line of work and you will have no problem finding a well paying position. Your comment on O'Reilly is well put and true for most of us. I wish there was a way I could talk to you off line, if you can figure out how without publishing personal info on line please contact me. Peace be with you brother vet.

I am a vet and can honestly say that the economy has had quite an impact on my ability to find employment. I have recently returned to school to make a necessary career change (Nursing) utilizing the grossly underfunded GI Bill in conjuction with a scholarship. I am fortunate to have come from a higly educated family that knew the ropes with regard to education, career, etc; many vets come from a working class background that has little knowledge of the "how to's" of higher education. I can honestly say that, if I didn't enter into the military with what I had (knowledge, forsight, etc), it is very possible that I too could have ended up homeless at some point.

P.S. Bill Oreily is a very smart man with some really dumb ideas.

Its time to end the bull B;
You question me? Are you a combat veteran, a disabled veteran? I am a 100% disabled veteran. I spent Two months in a Va hospital. In the VA hospital were many vets brought off the street. Over half had drug and/or drinking problems. It is called self medicating, done to escape the horrors of war and treatment by society on returning. I have been there, you can't talk trash to me. If you are a veteran, go to a vet center one day a week and educate yourself. I meet with a ptsd group every week. No vet ever said the economy messed them up. Treatment by society yes. Also don't miss quote me. I never mentioned liberals. I stated leftists. There is a huge difference.

Great;
Now that I have at least one leftist bent out of shape we can address the facts. Edwards is a lier who attempted to use disabled vets like me for his political purposes. O'Reilly correctly pointed out the economy has nothing to do with vets being homeless. The reson is living with the horrors of war and societys treatment of the returning vet. I have asked all of you to respond to examples of societys misstreatment of vets, myself included. Homeless vets will not receive the help needed until society admits what the problem is. Again, vets are homeless in good and bad economys, tell Edwards to stop lying and look at the real reasons.

That's right-free speech is what it's all about.It is ironic that you would attack a WHOLE group of people from the left wing as uncaring about veterans as human beings-then label my answers to you as attacks themselves.The majority of us on the left are not using this subject as a political agenda to attack the Bush administration-as you have slandered us to have done.A few may-but they are uninformed and do not speak for all of us.The attacks you have described are for me personally disgraceful-no veteran should ever be the subject of anykind of abuse.I cannot apologize to you or change the actions of some assholes in the world.Maybe some people are strangely silent when these attacks occur-I for one wont be.Anyone who attacks a veteran and I am around is in for a very unpleasant and rude awakening.You puzzle me John.You quite rightly pointed out instances that occured and needed to be pointed out.Now since O'Reilly is broadcast over the entire country-with a large following of viewers-why aren't you more outraged at his lack of understanding and compassion for homeless vets?Via satellite and the net he can be seen world wide.Getting spat at by a quaker is disgraceful enough and unacceptable.Verbally spitting in the face of homeless vets on national and international TV is beneath contempt.I cannot answer your question if those 17000 signatures are authentic.Let's say for the sake of argument that only 10 people on this petition are actually homeless vets-that is 10 too many in my book.I may be liberal-but I will always support the veterans-that makes me more importantly an American.I would appreciate it if you wouldn't throw all us liberals in one hat as uncaring-that is just not true.

Dave-B;
Dare? Wrong, its called free speech. Instead of attacks, when are my questions going to be answered? My disabled veteran friends are in agreement with me

I am not the same Dave from the earlier post but I will respond.You may have watched the show in question-but you sure as hell didn't pay much attention to what was going on.Your comment that O'Reilly is not anti-veteran is questionable at best.To basically deny that there is a problem and personally offer to help THOSE FEW VETERANS who are homeless get off the streets smacks of refusing to accept reality-nothing new for O'Reilly.How dare you try to lable us as left wing groups who care nothing about veterans as human beings.I HAVE SERVED MY COUNTRY-my family's history goes all the way back to WW2 serving in the military.Since the problem of homeless veterans goes all the way back before Vietnam you have a lot of nerve implying that some people use this issue just to attack the Bush administration. Some misguided souls may do that-but not all of us.I have news for you John-many people on the left side of the political spectrum consider ONE homeless vet is one too many-and that has nothing to do with politics.That is why many are fed up with O'Reilly-his cavalier attitude toward even ONE homeless vet is a disgrace.BTW-you are not the spokesman for 25 million vets.If you want to end some kind of hate or bigotry against you-go to the source-O'Reilly's idiotic stand against our brothers in arms would be the first place to start.

To Dave, Ilyssi, Tnterested Party, Ash, Kanukzi;
I see yoou are great at bashing those who you disagree with, but gutless to face the facts. Answer my first e-mail. Comment on the questions I asked. To renejen, which conflict are you a veteran of. Why have you not commented. Are all 17000 signatures by veterans? All I am asking is the truth.

Bill O reilly is a stupid ass. He needs his ass kicked. Fox news is the governments yes men. People don't realize the government and Fox news are anti american they are the enemy of the american people they represent corporate america the elite of america. They try to shut up all opposing views. For this they should be brought down. Also for this they are bloodguilty of all the lives lost in propped up wars. FOX NEWS IS BLOOD GUILTY!

Bill O'Reilly SOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!! STUPID STUPID MAN

Kathy,

Your son volunteered. He wasn't forced unless there was some unexpected draft that came about just for him.

I'm a vet and frankly some of the responses from vets here are surprising. Is there a problem with the speed of the system? Absolutely, however, to say that there is no care provided is a farce. Today there is care provided, I know and work with plenty of vets who receive great health care for their disabilities (a loose term I might say with what they deem a disability).

If it's considered medical they do receive counseling. What am I missing here? I'm a vet the system is working for me (albeit slow!). I won't even address all the other content which is largely flawed.

Once again your son signed up, knew what he was getting into, and served his country. There are services for vets (especially those whom are disabled). The system is slow and needs a serious revamp as it's clogged down with paper work and semantics (in my opinion). I don't agree with O'Reilly's comment I just agree even less with yours. Don't be mad at the world because your son made a decision for himself.

I am a 100% disabled veteran. I watched the O'Reilly show in question. The people responsible for this blog have completely distorted the truth. I have some disagreement, but to say he is anti veteran is a lie. You are an assembly of left wing groups who care nothing about veterans as human beings. If you want to attack the Bush administration leave us out. 25 million vets are not here for your political use. Has the Huffington Post attacked code pink for its bigoted remarks about me? Have any of you told a university proffessor to stop lying about me? Have any of you spoke out against the students in Washington State who said a National Gaurd Sgt deserved to have his family murdered while he was in Iraqi? Where is the apology for the Quaker woman who spat at me simply because I was in uniform. I want proof the 17 thousand signatures are veterans. End your hate, end your bigtry against me.

This comment is a response to “Watching the watchmen” posted a few days ago. If the comments made on this site seem harsh toward "Bill" it’s because this is not just one small faupaux made by him it’s one of thousands, possibly more. If you don’t know that, Mr. Watchman, it’s because maybe you’re not watching and you are out of touch with reality. At the very least he should apologize to these men for his glib statements. But I guess if he apologized to them he would never get finished apologizing for the numerous mindless and irresponsible statements he makes daily.

the ignorance that exist in some people like Bill Reilly's is ridiculous and Im happy to see that people are finally stepping up and proving that what is said on TV is not all true. People need to realize and stop just taking everything for face value

To the United States of America: Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. That also goes for a "hoof - in- mouth" ranting rightwing nut case with enough knowledge of the facts to be dangerous to himself and other nitwits inclined to believe utter trash, as he dispenses half-baked hyperbole that's straight from the guttter.

Pleeeezee.... BOTH you and Razio - educate yourselves and try to do a detox from the Bushitis you have ingested over the years.

While you guys knock the Military and some of you even hope we lose the war here is the difference between you and them....

YOU.......Stay up for 14 hours
TROOPS....Stays up for days on end

YOU.......Take a warm shower to help you wake up.
TROOPS... Goes days or weeks without running water.

YOU......Complain of a 'headache', and call in sick.
TROOPS...Gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.

YOU...... Put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
TROOPS.... Still fights for your right to wear that shirt

YOU.......Make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
TROOPS....He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.

YOU.......Talk trash about your 'buddies' that aren't with you.

You..... Stay at home and watch TV. TROOPS....Takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.

YOU...Crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
TROOPS...Tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long.

Next time you see a soldier shake his hand and say "Thank-you". Let them know they have our support

Just want to say I agree with you. Your son deserves nothing less than the best treatment for he is truly a hero. Our soldiers and veterans deserve the best America has to offer , that is the least we can do when these young men and women fight for our freedom and the freedom of others. They should be given free health care for themselves and their families, low interest mortgages so they can purchase a house, college scholarships for the children of the ones who never make it back. They do deserve to be treated better. Tell your son he is in our prayers and majority of America supports him and his brave efforts. Wish him the best of luck and God speed. God bless him and God Bless America.

My son served in Iraq...and came home with many health issues that have not been addressed, but was told that they weren't the worse that had been seen...so I am supposed to feel better about that? We send our sons and daughters to an area of the workd that is dirty, contaminated, and God knows what else, then when they get home we deny them the basic of cares. Would any non-military person want to be treated in Walter Reed? They would have a fit and sue!! But, that is where we send our children..the supposed "heroes" of this "conflict". Is it a surprise that we have homeless vets?? No..look how we treated them after Vietnam!! We ask them to do things no one else would do, then when they get home we treat them like dirt. We need to have a serious look at how we treat our veterans, and start providing them with what they deserve..FREE healthcare, FREE counseling, and FREE assistance with getting their lives back in order. Is that too much to ask?? Yes, it will cost "money", but the Iraq "conflict" has cost us our children's lives, stressed their families beyond what they should endure, injured our children both physically and psychologically, and cost them everything they had before they were called up. And many have been called up more than once. What cost is that compared to the billions that have been wasted in munitions, restoring countries that hate us and now compete with us for jobs, etc. and the corporate welfare that is enjoyed by companies that close our worksites and move to other countries for cheap labor and unhealthy products that return to our country for corporate greed? We need to help our own before we help others..just do the same that other countries do and have done to us time and time again. Besides, who asked us to be the world police??? Not Iraq!!!

Next State of the Union Speech:

My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.


Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.

THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT’ll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WON’T GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations: Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mezamies.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors: Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty — starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska — which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin’".

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought: Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America. Thank you and good night.

If you can read this, THANK A TEACHER. If you are reading it in English, THANK A SOLDIER.

Incidentally, I included the line about "bigots" specifically in reference to Allan A.'s comment

"O'reilly is a phony, a bigot with a loud mouth which doesn't deserve to be on the air!
Typical of the Bush Administration cronies who never served in the Military of their country"

Now, this is an ignorant statement, considering that Bush's first Secretary of State was a five-star general, but I kind-of doubt this guy cares about the truth. No, he just wants to scapegoat.

Anyway, the word "bigot" was important because O'Reilly is no such thing. Loudmouth? Definately. Phony? Eh, maybe on some issues. But "bigot?" No. It's just that as the right sometimes questions the patriotism of people on the left, the left sometimes questions--well--everything about people on the right.

Again, though, the best piece of evidence for my point-of-view is this video. They claim they wouldn't let them in, and yet one of them did. That's pretty sad, but I invite you to continue to fall for this site's hate mongering.

Again, I don't deny that O'Reilly's comments about the homeless seemed odd ("there ain't no servicemen sleepin' under a bridge" or something) but I'm not here to defend him. I'm here to state the obvious: this video contradicts the headline given to it.

1) O'Reilly didn't deny anybody access to anything. The field producer (Jesse Waters, I believe, who IS annoying, definately) was essentially checking with security.

2) Maybe I was hallucinating, but didn't that lady enter the building at the end? So much for that.

Now, onto blaming drug dependancy, etc. for homelessness of soldiers (or anybody for that matter): common sense tells us that that's quite often the case, but certainly not always, but the serviceman made a good point about the pitfalls of combat causing that whole mess.

And so my beef is not with them, it's with fans of this site. It's disturbing how open-minded and analytical people like you think you are, when you're obviously being duped.

You're all so filled with hatred, because you ARE becoming everything you hate. O'Reilly makes a mistake on his broadcast, just like everyone else who's ever been on Prime Time and you're all over it. From what I can read, you don't care about the truth, you just want to continue scape goating someone who has a different point-of-view.

It would be ludicrous to claim Fox is always balanced as it should be, but sites like this one and Media Matters make FNC look like factcheck.org.

You're the real bigots and this site is providing the real distortion.

Bill Oreilly should not be allowed to have the stage he is given. To call people liars when they speak truth about a terrible tradegy, that exists and has existed in this country as long as we have had wars, is the height of ignorance and arrogance. Bill said "Show me the homeless vets living under a bridge and I will go feed them." I don't believe that he is man enough to do that. He would have to humble himself and that is not possible with Bill. The command that "we are our brothers keeper!" has somehow been lost on Bill. My mom is a veteran of the Korean War. She goes to one small veterans clinic for health care. This small clinic has a caseload of 5,000 veterans that need care. Many of these vets have many, many health issues. Complicate this with the inability to maintain a home and the problem just escalates. How dare this arrogant blow hard refuse to recognize an issue because it doesn't fit his reality!! God save us from people such as Bill and God help Bill that he should ever be in need. Will the same people he called liars be there to lift him up? Probably, because their goodness far exceeds his hatred of those in need. Humans are not the poitics, but politics of truth can help the human. I have figured out that people only watch him because he is like watching a train wreck, you can't look away, and the pure tragedy of its existence makes us look. Jesus said "Bless those who don't see and still believe!" Maybe he has chosen not to see, but believe it Bill, this huge problem, which is manmade by the horrors of war, does exist!!!!

Yeah, if I know FOX noise channel; they probably put it in the shredder.
That Roger Ailes fella is like that.

Supposedly a "huge" homeless story on Bill O'Reilly next Thursday. Stay tuned.

I am so heartened at the patriotism of the folks, veterans and their supporters, who came to the Fox studios to deliver the petitions to O'Reilly to help him understand his misconceptions about the homeless of this nation. It is truly humbling to see these folks who are genuinely concerned about the veterans, who return to our nation after having served so bravely to be left without the care and and support that they need. How truly sad it is that a media power like Bill O'Reilly can be so misguided and also viscious in his comments about people he knows nothing about! Thank you Brave New Films and Robert Greenwald for making this film available to us and for educating Bill O'Reilly!!

The biggest supporters of this war and the ones who deny the existence of veterans who are homeless or who need medical and psychological assistance stemming from war-related trauma are people like O'Reilly, Bush, and Cheney: they never served in the military and have no concept of the trauma it can bring and the destruction it brings to those (and their families) who served our country bravely. O'Reilly uses his soapbox to expound his pompous ignorance of major issues. Unfortunately, his arrogance and ignorance and twisting of facts to suit his narrow agenda is common in our corporate media. Naturally, Fox "News" leads the media in misinformation, propaganda for the Bush administration, and outright lies and innuendo. They don't have the courage or the decency to allow opinions or those who do not fit their mold of "patriotism." What ever happened to "fair and balanced", or real investigative journalism? Freedom of speech is only for those who agree with the fearmongers and purveyors of hate and ignorance on Fox. By the way, Bill, until you get your facts straight, "Shut Up!"

O'reilly is a phony, a bigot with a loud mouth which doesn't deserve to be on the air!
Typical of the Bush Administration cronies who never served in the Military of their country

Excellent work BNF! It's great to see that this action was so nicely executed. As one of the signers of the petition, I hope that O'Reilly has the courage to address the issue now that he has been handed information that he previously lacked when he made his absurd comment about homeless vets. Keep up the great work!
