Edwards key to the media: Billo and the Homeless Veterans

[Yael]

Letterman and Olbermann both featuring this story and this is a VERY important message for them to feature.

Word gets out as to the plight of homeless vets and Billo gets the smackdown at the same time.

Way to go, Senator. :thumbsup:

1. John was great on Letterman last night.

I'm sure he'll do well on Olbermann tonight.

2. Heh. Billo should have known better than to take on a trial lawyer..

..and a very good one, too. John Edwards has said he's loving this fight, and I don't blame him.

Go John!

13. I'm sorry, but what does that mean?

I'm just wondering, because I've seen it everywhere today.

5. Have you seen this, Yael?

http://foxattacks.com/vets Over 16,000 demand that Bill apologize.

Over 80,000 views on Youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxAPf2x96I0&feature=related

7. I'll take credit for that strategery

I suggested JE go after Billow on this issue. :)

Now, if only Billow will play along and answer back with a little more outrageous statement....

[Yael]

9. Good on you!!

Did you see KO's segment tonight? It was AMAZING.

I really think they woke up once John took on the asshole. Pity that -- they should have paid attention to the message in itself, but it isn't prudent to look a gift horse in the mouth.

May our Vets get the care they need and Billo get kneecapped in the same swing.

:woohoo:

[Yael]

10. Oh and BTW -- KO said Billo was 'addressing' this issue in his leadin

I wasn't about to turn the channel to find out -- but may your words ring true and soon!

14. Good! I've been posting on here in the last two days asking what's going on...

as I couldn't believe O'Leilly was being silent, and that the media hadn't pounced on this story already.

Why does O'Leilly hate the troops? lolol


I hope he does get engaged now. It'll be good for John, good for the vets, good for democracy. ;)

[Yael]

15. And good EXPOSURE. On the issue and on our candidate for raising it.

Everyone wins

:bounce:

18. Yup, I saw it on one of the TV's at my gym.

I turned up my iPod and tried to ignore Billo's big giant head, but caught what was going on. Of course, he maintains that he wants to do everything he can for vets, but that Edwards is a big fat liar. Had a few other blowhards on to back up his BS.

:puke:

Luckily, another TV had an episode of "Sanford and Son," so I watched that to the tunes of Candye Kane et al instead.

11. As soon as I heard what happened, the same night of O'Leilly's ...

first dumbass comments, I saw this as a golden opportunity to (as you said) not only gain exposure on an ISSUE for Edwards, but smack down dipshit in the process (sorry, I have to swear when I'm talking about some people).

Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!! Hopefully Media Matters or some other group will launch another campaign against not only O'Leilly, but Faux News.

[Yael]

16. Sadly -- reality says that it is the Edwards/Billo thing that caught their eye, but as John said

tonight on KO (and is a KEY theme to his campaign as we all know) -- this isn't about him and Billo. It is about getting these vets the physical and mental care that they deserve for serving in our uniform.

Someone needs to go hound kpete to put this up on YouTube Pronto. LOL!

[OneGrassRoot]

17. kpete uploads videos, too? Wowwwww....gotta luv kpete. :) n/t

[Yael]

20. Maybe it is Hissyspit

I may have gotten people confused. One of our news hounds is usually on this. :P

[Andy823]

12. He did a good job

Of putting old Bill in his place! :applause:

[chimpymustgo]

19. Edwards is always good in his interviews. But he does have a GREAT issue to kick around.

It's WIN-WIN!

[smokey nj]

21. Kick!!!!!

[Yael]

22. Given that the 200,000 number came from the Veterans Administration

One would think that Billo would let it go.

Hopefully he doesn't. This NEEDS air time.
