Demand Bill O'Reilly apologize to the "non-existent" homeless vets

[Triana]

From my Inbox to DU:

Hello FOX Attacks friends,

Just a quick note. Bill O'Reilly has made an ass of himself yet again. This time he's claiming there aren't any homeless veterans, which is just horribly offensive to the 200,000 veterans without homes every night. We know, because Jonathan went out and talked to them.

Meet the vets, and demand an apology from O'Reilly: http://foxattacks.com/vets

Robert Greenwald
and the FOX Attacks team

P.S. And a brief update on Michael Savage. Thanks for your calls and emails, they are having a big impact. Advertisers are caving and freaking out. Union Bank of California has already pulled, and there will be more to come next week at http://NOSAVAGE.org

3. The way we treat vets is a crime

Repubs are too busy waving the flag to notice.

5. It is pathetic - and Repubes claim to be 'patriotic' and to 'support the troops'

Horse puckey. They USE the troops as cannon fodder and then abandon them. Some animals are treated better. THAT'S what they get for fighting for their country. Pffffft! :mad:

6. Pro-fetus/ anti-child, pro-war/anti-veteran, anti-tax/pro-bankrupting America

Quite a lame bunch.

10. Bill O'Reilly should also apologize for this photo

Newswatch 16's Bill O'Reilly: (courtesy: TheSmokingGun.com)

The year was 1975 and Bill O'Reilly was a broadcast TV rookie itching to move to a larger market from Scranton, Pennsylvania. O'Reilly, then 26, worked as the "Action Consumer" troubleshooter for WNEP, the ABC affiliate, and was seeking to decamp to Atlanta or Miami. He apparently had outgrown the Action 16 news team, which operated from offices at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton airport. So O'Reilly dashed off a letter to a producer at a Washington, D.C. station seeking career advice and possible job leads. "I've done pretty well here," he wrote, "and am confident I can handle myself." Along with reporting chores, O'Reilly also handled news promotion for the station, noting that "the extra bread comes in handy." In addition to his letter, O'Reilly helpfully included newsclips from a local TV shopper showing that viewers really appreciated his work. O'Reilly was pictured on the shopper's cover in some fly 70s finery--fur collared-coat, dark shirt/dark tie combo, moptop, and what appears to be muttonchops. The yellowing clip and O'Reilly's letter were provided to TSG by relatives of the Washington producer to whom they were sent.
