BraveNewFilms Finds The Homeless Vets That O'Reilly Denies

It's painfully evident that the zeal with which John Edwards throws himself into the work of standing up for Americans who live in poverty utterly shames Fox's millionaire infotainment celebrity Bill O'Reilly. That's why he's taken to defaming Edwards at every turn, labeling him a "phony" for not behaving as the gentry should - which is to lay back with uncalloused hands and defame the poor for their laziness, I guess. Anything else would be declasse!

So when John Edwards noted the existence of homeless veterans - people who's work for the country couldn't be disputed, O'Reilly mocked Edwards and denied that homeless veterans even exist.

Well, the sad truth is out there, and Robert Greenwald's BraveNewFilms went and found it - the very homeless veterans that Edwards spoke of in his concession speech in Iowa. Not a few of them seem to take issue with O'Reilly's take on the matter. All of them exhibit considerably more class than Fox's bellicose fop.

"We're still looking for all the veterans sleeping under bridges," O'Reilly mocks. What? Doesn't Fox News have cameras and reporters? Oh, that's right! O'Reilly only sends those to ambush people with homes!

Bill Orielly is a scumbag. I don't sling labels like that too often, but he is definately a scumbag.
He's one of those "Inner Party" member types Orwell told us about.
He should stick to Loofah fantasies with his produers.

4 two years, Neither McCain nor Giffords could get my vets benefits restored after the VA illegally reduced them after sending a notice to the wrong address. Film-makers, congressmen, citizens, lend me your ears. No one can wait years for them to correct their crimes against veterans, even if that be failing to represent them or to help. Some of us will help each other before America sees the truth. Help us to help each other, at least listen to us, our ideas, our plans. I have a plan posted elsewhere. Ask for the link. Here, I say, theres much more than 200K homeless outside cities.

I used to work for the VA and every year we would conduct what was called a "homeless standdown" where we did nothing attempt to feed homeless veterans - pass out clothing - and try to get these guys enrolled in the system.

I would say what I think of Billo but it would have to be all censored.
