Anyone know if O'Leilly is being called on the carpet about the homeless vets lies?

[OneGrassRoot]

Haven't seen anything posted. Was just wondering if anyone knows of any vet groups protesting against him. I wish veterans would be gathered en masse outside the studio and confront him - and have it filmed for our viewing pleasure, of course.

1. Lots of people are talking about it.

Rachel Maddow was even on it last night. SpongeBill Falafelpants isn't taking calls.

2. Air America is all over it. They have homeless vets calling in and also a Veterans group is

compiling videos from around the country. One group has reserved a web site specifically for documenting the homeless veteran situation.. I do not have the name of the group but I'm sure someone does. John Edwards is also involved in it, but I'm not sure to what extent.

6. Most people already know that chickenhawk republicons hate our US Veterans

So O'Reilly's most recent lies are probably not much of a blip...

People expect him to say hateful things...It is the chickenhawk WAY of republicons...

7. I emailed him to let him know that I made a donation to Edwards in response to his

reporting on the homeless vet situation.

11. The email I sent:

Bill,

You should really check your facts. It is widely reported that upwards of 25% of the homeless in the US are veterans. Google is your friend.

In your honor, I have donated $100 to the John Edwards campaign today. Just wanted to share the good news with you.

Take care,

9. O'Reilly has spent the last several nights in the snow under bridges, interviewing the homeless

I tell you, the man hasn't even had a wink of sleep and has braved the cold to prove his point. After interviewing 238,597 homeless men and women, not one of them has answered his question as to whether they are a vet or not. When he asks them, all he gets back in return is "brrrrrrr, it's cold out here, man. Got any hot coffee?". O'Reilly rests his case.

10. BillO's response? They are all substance abusers

I guess only vets who are able to mentally handle washing their dead buddies brain matter off their uniforms without the aid of drugs are "real" vets to BillO.

12. Bill O. is a draft dodger and a repeat Veteran Abuser

Like almost all of the republicon "leaders," Bill O. is a chickenhawk who never served.

He secretly fears and resents the men and women who actually served America by wearing the uniform.

So - like Commander AWOL Bush, Dickie "Five Miltary Deferments" Cheney, and highly paid demagogues and propagadists Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity - none of whom served Uncle Sam for as much as five honorable minutes -- he is always looking for some sneaky way to kick dirt, or to somehow sneer, at our sons and daughters who have served in the Armed Forces.

Because of that, Bill O. -- and the other republicon chickenhawks -- merit no respect.
