Rule #1 when you find yourself in a hole: STOP DIGGING. Anyone with a functioning IQ knows that.
And then there's Bill O'Reilly.
Determined to exhibit to all that he has only just slithered out of the primoridial ooze without two brain cells to rub together, Bill O'Reilly finds himself in a hole and grabs for a whole host of shovels (pardon the mixed metaphors). When Brave New Films showed up at FoxNews HQ with some homeless veterans to confront him with the fact that there are indeed homeless veterans, O'Reilly turns the cameras back on them and tries to dismiss the veterans for not watching his program and hearing for themselves exactly what he said (sorry, Bill, most homeless people DON'T GET CABLE, you farkin' idiot). Of course, insults to Robert Greenwald (for the record, my baby sister loved Xanadu), NBC News and the Post are obligatory. But here's what I want to know: Bill O'Reilly, you have now sent your little flunkies out (because you're not a man enough to do it yourself) and placed your cameras in front of homeless veterans. What will you do to help them? Man up, O'Reilly. Put your money where your mouth is.

Speaking for paramecia all over the world, I resent Billo being id'd as one of us - he is an e-coli bacteria fresh from Karl Rove's rectum.
so it's all about NBC all of a sudden? and about ratings? wtf??
Bill-O, stop embarrassing yourself already.
Is it a bad thing to make fun the obviously mentally challenged? Poor,poor Bill. Oh by the way
First
Rats.
"Bill O’Reilly, you have now sent your little flunkies out (because you’re not a man enough to do it yourself)....."
Damn straight and I called it a few posts back when the Brave New Films video was shown. BillO never had and never will have the guts to face the veterans.
christ whats wrong with this guy, just admit you were wrong Bill and move on.
The man has the morals of a Neoconservative.
BOR is not a real man and never will be. He cowers inside the News Corp builiding afraid to meet the homeless vets and the cameras right outside who want to talk with him. If he cared as he so often claims, he would have been right out there on the sidewalk talking with them. He claims he's some kind of warriror. What a load of crap. He's inside hiding, plotting to use his bully pulpit and his very bizarre 3rd person Talking Points in order to find someway to make Greenwald and NBC the bad guys here. Sorry but America is not buying it. BOR has some very serious mental issues relating to reality and denial.
The most incredible thing about O'Reilly is that there are creatures who actually watch his show, and pay to get it. Or O'Reilly has really gamed the rating system.
But if there are those who watch his show, what a MotherLoad that mailing list would be for all the con-men and hucksters. If it were made public, sales of 'Rub on this cream and make your penis 12 inches longer', 'Spray this on your ear and women will strip and beg you to take them as soon as they smell it', 'Buy this ex-Rockefeller estate for nothing down and $111.50 per month', will skyrocket, and our economic crisis will end.
All thanks to Billious.
1) John Edwards referred to 200,000 veterans sleeping under bridges.
2) O'Reilly says that's not true
3) Edwards cites sources that say it's true
4) O'Reilly says he'll help any that you can find
5) A lot of them show up at Fox News
6) O'Reilly insults as many people as possible.
O'Reilly didn't say "the economy isn't responsible for homeless vets," he said there WEREN'T ANY HOMELESS VETS!!!" THEN he changed his story to "there aren't that many," then proceeded to bullshit to save his sorry ass.
If he just said "I'm glad this has been brought to our attention, and we will keep the focus on these veterans that have been abandoned by our nation." Then he could be the hero and take the attention away from Edwards. But no - he's so incapable of taking responsibility (remember Mamedy?) that he has to keep attacking.
What a waste of DNA.
I, for one, feel that the slimy parameciums of the worls have been most unfairly slandered!
You know, when I joined the Marines I really didn't care what rank I held, how much I was going to get paid or the type of benefits. None of that really mattered to me at the time. I did it because I liked to fight and because I wanted to do my part and the Marines satisfied both. Today I look at people like Bill O'Reilly and I ask myself, if he were the only one that I had to defend would I still do it. My answer today is a resounding no because he is not worth it!
How can they send their own people out there and ask the homeless veterans if they saw Billo say there are no homeless vets. DO THEY THINK THESE GUYS HAVE CABLE TV? Or for that matter, do they have any TV.
You would think that if someone is going to protest someone on what they said, they would know exactly what he said.
"Why did NBC send cameras out to cover a contrived situation?'
Good question.
Why did they cover the confirmation hearings John Mukasey?
The State of the Union Address?
Why is Bill such a coward that he wants to try to make homeless veterans look ill informed when he said what he said and there is no doubt about it?
And what the hell does Xanadu have to do with any of this?
Dear Nicole,
As a member of the "Paramecium Friends Society", I take umbrage at the suggestion that Mr. O'Reilly might be somehow mistaken for a paramecium. As you should know, a paramecium has the ability to propel itself forward, whereas Mr. O'Reilly merely continues his backward slide.
After conferring with the other members of the PFS (there are 3 of us, by the way), we will agree that Mr. O'Reilly might possibly be confused with the substance secreted by the paramecium's anal pore.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.
He'll never do a thing to help them. He doesn't want to know about them, doesn't believe in them, and can't forget about them fast enough.
In Bill's defense, it should be remembered that O'Reilly only said he would 'take care' of any homeless veterans he found sleeping under bridges or on grates. I always took this to mean he would call the cops to shoo them away and keep them out of sight.
I never thought that O'Reilly actually cared for them as fellow human beings and would use a single dollar of his considerable wealth to help clothe, feed or house them. He's made his fortune by being a callous, self-centered prick. Why should he change now?
Bill O is the Faux News point man for measuring the boundaries of DoubleThink in the USSA today which clearly have reach. If you can digest Bill O, you doubleplusgood patriot.
"...sorry, Bill, most homeless people DON’T GET CABLE, you farkin’ idiot..."
They can get the message if they can read lips outside the TV store, just tell the owner to turn to Fox News, how is that a problem?
Earth to BillO:
"Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Think Bill think! Oh, sorry that's too hard for you do do. Go back to sleep now.
Greenwald "got some veterans" to claim counter to BillO's argument, as in, they didn't decide on their own that he was wrong, someone talked them into it.
UpOnThis @ 18:
Oh, i am really curious. What's his plan?
I wasn't asking you but since you volunteered what you are saying is that a Holocaust denier could do an excellent piece on German Concentration Camps and frankly, that makes no sense.
See, that's the thing. Crazy people will always see everyone else as the crazy ones. Lets see, everyone out to get him (paranoia), increased belief of self importance (megalomania), and the one that frightens me is his emotional disconnect concerning other human beings (sociopath).
Poor fella would get help anywhere else. Here, he gets ratings from other crazies.
yellow dog @ 1:
I think you're making the unfair assumption that most e-coli in Rove's rectum CHOOSE to be there.
UpOnThis @ 18:
I really want more information on this "plan" because i want to know what Bill O'Rielly knows about a solution concerning a problem he knows nothing about and pretends does not exist. I would just as soon hire a 5th grader to drive me to work.
My head is still spining.
One of his most transparent blaber, not pretty. I wonder if this is going to do any damage to him.
Charles @ 23:
"Don't pay any attention to that man (Greenwald) behind the curtain, you might hear the truth!"
Remember when Billo argued with Chris Dodd and tried to dismiss him because he didn't know whether it was on radio or on TV that Billo made the comment about al qaeda attacking San Francisco (8/2/07)? Forget about whether Sen. Dodd's accusation was right on or not. "You don't know what the hell I said" was Billo's reply.
Billo does what Billo does well. He attacks not the substance of the matter, but whether the vets had actually heard or seen O'Reilly deny their existence. What the f#@% difference does it make?
So let me get this straight: he denies there are no homeless veterans; these guys actually find homeless veterans and confront Bill; Bill then discredits them saying that they didn't watch his show on paid cable(since they are homeless); blames NBC for a 'hatchet job'; and says they are the Bad people? What the hell!?
On Bill's apparent divorce from reality: Couldn't they just have stayed together for the kids?
#31
He denied that there are homeless vets....
buck_fush @ 32:
What i don't understand is why the homeless vets got stuck with paying the alimony.
BilLow is in a state of denial about lots of things.
And yet, if it's to be believed, over at HuffPo they're touting a ratings win for FAUX NEWS and O'Lielly...and we wonder WHY we've had nearly 8 years with the DOUFFUS and the DARK LORD...and why old ladies and others call into WJ cause they just got (and believed) their Obama is a Muslim e-mail/or campaign letter. America's borders should have signs that read...NEED MORE SHEEPLE!!!!!!
Conservatism is one of the more unfortunate consequence of abusive toilet training.
I'd bet not a single homeless vet watches O'Reilly.
Greenwald does a great job countering the no spin zone. Sorry about Xanadu....but in his defense, it was the 80's.
Outfoxed is an excellent film.
On O'Reilly...defer to Snoop Dog.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijHRTDvLBtY
The only thing that matters to Billo is that at least 1% of his viewing audience has the mentality of a worm and believe every word he has to say. And I am sorry to say that that includes some of my family.
It hardly seems worth the effort to hate the man - he's too pitiful. Does everybody on Fox news have a borderline personality disorder? And a big part of his pathology is his salacious hormones getting out of control - he's got to watch his step with the ladies, and it's so frustrating that it's making his head explode. Oh Bill, oh Bill, what are you going to do when the Democrats bring peace and prosperity back to the land, and the ancient masses won't have to turn to you to reassure themselves that the world is the same as it was in 1955?
Patriot Actor @ 38:
That was way too short.
Billo's been eating too many falafels again. We all know that he hates John Edwards and will say anything to discredit the man. His sending his lackeys to harass those homeless vets was quite despicable (of course, not having access to cable TV or the Internets, they never saw Keith's video on how to defend yourself from Orally's lackeys - "Malmedy, Mackris, loofah"). Also, Falafel Boy, everyone knows that your beef with NBC News is really with Olbermann for consistently calling you out on your bullshit. Of course, you won't mention Keith's name on the air, lest you send Fox Security after yourself. Now, stop giving these homeless veterans grief, invite them in, and give them some iced tea, MF'er.
Dear Nicole:
As been greatly amplified here, you have done a grave disservice to paramecia everywhere.
AND WE WILL NOT TAKE IT!
PARAMECIA, UNITE!
ski @ 42:
I would say invite them in and serve them dinner and have a long conversation.
OK - Off topic ... but as long as this is February 2nd AND a Bill O'Reilly post, this may be worth a smile, giggle or guffaw:
How come you never hear anyone say “Happy Groundhog Day” anymore?
I’m willing to grant you that Groundhog Day had become too commercialized, but this political correctness has simply gone too far.
Why, I even heard that Wal-Mart, in an effort to foist "diversity" on us, has instructed all their employees not to wish anyone a "Happy Groundhog Day". Instead they’re now having their greeters wishing folks a "Happy Holiday Commemorating a Rodent of the Family Sciuridae, Belonging to the Genus of Large Ground Squirrels, Biologically Classified as Marmots."
And this is progress?! For one thing, that greeting is just way too long – I mean I got my cart half-way down the aisle by the time they’re done. (And I have absolutely NO idea how they got those oldsters at the entrance to remember the whole damn thing.) And two, I hate shopping at Wal-Mart ever since they stopped doing their Blue Light Specials. (Oh, no … silly me … that was K-Mart, wasn’t it?)
First there was the War on Christmas that the falafel-loving fellow Bill O’Reilly, with his rabble-rousing rhetoric, used to rile up those radical right-wing republicans. (Wow – almost as hard to say as “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck.…”). Then came the Wars on Chanukah and Kwanzaa, not to mention the Wars on Ramadan and Yom Kippur. Now I ask you, when was the last time anyone wished you a Happy Yom Kippur?
You say Yom Kippur is not a joyous celebration? Well, of course Yom Kippur is not a happy holiday – my point exactly.
And it's simply getting out of hand. Today when I stopped in at Starbucks not a single server wished me a Happy Groundhog Day. Instead I got that irritating greeting that grates on everyone: "Have a nice day." There were no special Groundhog Day-themed flavored lattes. No Groundhog Day decorations. Nothing. It's like they don't even know Groundhog Day comes around every February 2nd.
As a child, I fondly remember Groundhog Day as being a special and wonderful time of year, marked by kindness and good cheer, with myriad celebrations all stemming from that venerated superstitious belief that a woodland creature could actually control weather patterns.
But instead of sending Groundhog cards, we now send “rodent” cards. Instead of decorating the Groundhog tree, we put up “rodent” trees. And instead of us all gathering around to light the Groundhog candle and do the Groundhog dance while singing our favorite Groundhog carols, we watch American Idol.
Will these liberal secularists stop at nothing?! Well, I for one will not stand for this ignominy. I am starting a boycott of all businesses that refuse to acknowledge Groundhog Day, a holiday that reflects everything that America is founded on. Why, it’s the one thing we all trust in – emblazoned right there on our currency for everyone to read! (No, wait a second … that’s God I’m thinking of, isn’t it?)
So I call upon all of my readers (all three of you) to reclaim Groundhog Day from those who wish to destroy it. Proudly greet everyone you meet this season with a jubilant "Happy Groundhog Day!" Take the day off from work. (OK – so this year it just happens to fall on a Saturday.) Call all your family and friends to share with them the good news that Punxsutawney Phil came out of his hole today, saw his shadow – and that's indisputable proof that spring will arrive early this year. (Or late. I never could remember if seeing his shadow was a good or bad thing.)
And if they try to claim that an elaborate ceremony involving grown men wearing top hats pulling an overgrown chipmunk out of a hole in the earth is no accurate means of predicting the weather, just accuse them of being a communist and hang up on them.
Happy Groundhog Day! That's right … I said it. Just try and stop me, you hippies.
Brunob @ 28:
Was your head stuck in the "no spin zone"? ;)
what would Jack Bauer do?.....and why does Billo hate veterans?
ONE MORE TIME...
cancel your cable for most of the channels, including FOX NEWS. My cable company has a $10/month choice which gives you about 10 channels including cspan, the weather channel, and the networks.
I refuse to pay for Republican Hate TV.
Dems should not go on FOX until it starts to serve the public again and leaves the propaganda business.
try it you will feel better.
FOX News follows the formula: Sex and Violence sells
You have a bunch of angry, tough talking men and outrageously sexy women posing to be news people.
While i do think O'Rielly's war on Christmas crap is laughable his dismisal and denial of homeless veterans is deadly. Homeless people are in mortal danger. The life expectancy of a homeless man in the US is 48 years. Every winter, while Bill is smuggly pretending to be superior and important dozens and sometime hundreds die from exposure. His off hand remarks to discredit them do nothing to stop some rather sick people from burning or beating to death an unlucky victim now and then to say nothing of prolonging systemic neglect of the problem.
What Bill O'Rielly lacks in compassion he makes up for in ignorance. The problem is he has a national platform and his stupidity is leading to deaths of some of these people he refuses to accept as his fellow citizens deserving of respect and help.
I truly hate to wonder at what his "final solution" to homelessness might be.
Not all of these deaths are related to homelessness, but they try not to keep track. The funny thing is the cure is shelter.
Who knew?
Clearly, Bill-O joins GW Bush as a textbook case of Tolstoy Syndrome.
Folks!
Billo is a performer. A performer he is.
Perhaps all folks showing their mug at FAUX news are performers. I'll bet that he doesn't spend much time with his copy before a show so what goes on the air is cheap ass copy and his sense of blow-hard puff-balls.
I am sure he has an audience who are usually watching All Star Wrasseling. same kind of contact, same kind of interviews.
So what I am saying is the problem is the promoter of all this Mr Faux news pimp Tyrone Murdock and nothing he does on FAUX news has any merit because it is intended for how do I put this nicely, a um simpletons!
So spew on folks about Billo, I like to as well, but that whole station is a real dire problem to what we all think the real news is or should be.
Reich-wingers, welcome to permanent minority status....and O'Racist will be your leader.
O'Reilly "man up"? That's putting the cart before the horse, wouldn't you say?
Why did I watch that video? I know the only thing I get from watching that fecal sample talk is 10 more points on my blood pressure.
As much as I feel it is important to monitor the crap he's spoon-feeding his zombies, trying to remind Bill of what honesty and decency is continues to be an exercise in futility. I honestly think Bill has never met his conscience, so he won't recognize it even we forcefully shove his jowls in its direction.
Bananaphone @ 56:
I don't think trying to get through to Bill O'Rielly is entirely the point, please read my post at #50.
B...b...but Xanadu!
I love plenty of paramecium on my spaghetti.
If paramecium is some kind of semi-military bacteria, is there any such thing as full-fledged militaristic bacteria?
No matter your political viewpoint-serving your country used to be an honor and all those who have should be lifted up when they fall, they, in many cases put their very lives on the line everyday for long periods of time and for them to be so disrespected by this stupid fool makes me crazy. That a piece of yesterdays vomit like him is even on TV speaks volumes to just how fucking sick this world is right now.
I am writing these words that mean nothing with anger so great it overwhelms me. What a motherfucking monster he his, what a scumbag, what a blind, provincial piece of ignorance.
Well. Bill you get the reward of walking around in your life filled to the brim with all that hate, and hubris and someday in a room, alone somewhere, you will think back on all this and shudder knowing you wasted your mind and filled your life with darkness and shit. What a legacy, alone eating a shit sandwich.
ysbaddaden @ 59:
Yea they have invaded our government and slimed everything, they even shape shift but their human emulations are flawed. you see them everyday on the toobz notice their inability to speak and when they speak to tell the truth, and quite frankly they are some ugly motherfucking imitations of humanity, so ugly they have to sneak up on a glass of water to get a drink.
It is hard to be humorous when as pissed off as I, sorry for the bad joke, mine and theirs.
So lets see if I understand B.O.'s logic. Ask a HOMELESS (living on the street, you know, no home?) person if they saw/ heard B.O. say there were no homeless vets on the streets, so now, because they didn't hear B.O. say it, they are not to be taken seriously? Hmmmm.... no home = no t.v. or radio what the hell kind of question is that?
Well since EVERYBODY (by B.O.'s reconning) watches fox news, doesn't the fact that these vets didn't see B.O. say it, prove that they MUST be living on the streets?
The text in the FOX graphic illustrates how O'Reilly just looooves to play fast and loose with the truth when addressing his audience, which he must assume is literally drooling into their Hungry Man Dinners and can't remember anything said more than 7 minutes previously.
Uh, I think we all know this little "brouhaha" isn't about O'Reilly quote/unquote "... telling John Edwards that the economy isn't responsible for homeless vets". It's about the fact that he flat-out DENIED that more than a handful of homeless vets EXIST!
First here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQodF_Q1mmo
Then, in the 1/16 Ed Schultz interview, Bill-o delivered, in what apparently passes for tones of sarcasm in his poor, starch-clogged hindbrain, this quote:
"We're still lookin for 'em....There's not many of them"
Everybody knows what you said, Loofah Boy, you delusional, serial liar.
Dild O'Reilly said something stupid, now he's trying to distract from that stupid comment by changing the subject. First it was there aren't a lot of homeless veterans, but he quickly realized, oh shit, there are, Edwards got his numbers from the VA. So then it became about economics, Edawrds says it's about economics (BTW, did he say that? I never saw it.), missing the point that it doesn't matter WHY they're homeless, the fact that people fought for their country, and are now without homes IS the problem. He blames it on drug addiction and mental illness, again ignoring that they probably have those afflictions because of their service, and because they didn't get proper treatment. I wish someone, like Ed Schultz, would go on his show and point that out, that all of Bl'ow's empty rhetoric misses the point, that Edwards is pointing out that the government isn't taking care of it's soldiers.
Off-topic...is Bill aware that Xanadu, like Showgirls, was considered a bomb but has since become a cult classic and made a huge profit on DVD?
Even if Xanadu did bomb, how does that discredit Greenwald? Moron....
Paramecium are ciliates. Hairy. Nicole what has a paramecium ever done to you?
:P
May I suggest the vomit slime mold instead, or even better yet, just bright yellow bilious vomit as a more apt descriptive of this poor in spirit, sad sack of a
manbag of vom.Regardless of how slimy Bill O Reilly is, he was able to turn the tables on this demonstration. Why is this?
This same approach will be used by the Republicans in the Presidential Campaign and Hillary or Obama will go down in flames in a second in the American people's eyes.
Are progressives unable to anticipate anything? How hard is it to think out possible responses by those they seek to expose?
Progressives are inept in this area. They consistantly mess it up. They also hope that the American citizen can see through this. They can't.
O'Reilly won.
Once again.

Do paramecium ever need Rogaine?
kerplunk @ 68:
How did he win? I thought that it quite clearly showed that he is a fool. Even my nine year old wanted to know why he would have this clip on his show, because he does nothing but attack Greenwald, et al, rather than helping the vets in front of him.
BTW, I had no idea that there were so many paramecium fans out there. Who knew?

Okay Billo, since we're on the subject of 1980 bombs, if we're Xanadu, then you certainly must be Heaven's Gate. At least we wouldn't be the ones to sink United Artists :P
Not that it has anything to do with his argument. Think about it, if Greenwald couldn't find work, how in the hell could he make his documentaries?!
Maddy @ 61:
I could not agree more with your comment. All though, as a veteran myself, I do not think we need to put veterans on a pedestal. Just a little common human decency and the recognition that they do (I.E. homeless vets) do in fact exist would suffice. We will get neither from Bill O’Reilly that’s for sure.
lufa boy is a cruel bastard

One of these days, somebody is going to come along and kick O'Really's ass from here to kingdomcome. I am amazed that it hasn't happened before now. What a punk.
His wife must be a real beaut--who could live with this clown?
Well, I was going to comment on Billo, however everyone here seems to have covered the bases. What a consummate, and immortal douche bag.
Robert Greenwald, btw, has been nominated for a Director's Guild Award and 3 Emmys. How many Emmys for Bill?
Guys and gals, stop drinking the cool aid. I know you hate O'Reilly but his point was justified.
He asked them why they were protesting, they said because they were TOLD he said there were no homeless veterens in NYC.
He did not say that at all. He said that most homeless veterans are homeless not homeless because of the economy (as John Edwards was saying) but because of drugs and alcohol abuse.
The protesting vets were lied to, said O'Reilly said they did not exist. That is a FACT and the guy who lied to them was not O'Reilly, but the Xanadu guy
Again and again O'Reilly denied the magnitude of homeless Vets.

What an utter sleaze.
I know you think you understood what I said, but what you heard is not what I meant.
Dave @ 80:
Unfortunately for you we have the motherfucker on video.
Yeah, well, I heard you say it Bill O and you are certainly scum and not man enough to Man Up to anything. Chickenshit.
Free Dumb...watch it, I did,and I watched the original interview with the head of the homeless veterans organization too.
The video shows the guy saying to the camera, some guy told us that's what he said.
How did the homeless vet without TV find out about what O'Reilly supposedly said
No need to curse either guy
Billo is on solid ground on this issue. If people show up to protest something I said, at the very least I would expect them to have heard what I said. How come the person who organized the homeless vet protest did not show them a video of Billo making the supposedly controversial remarks?
Bill 'O' Reiley= Fuckwad!!!!
miss_kitty @ 67:
Ha!! Good one. Come over here and clean off my monitor.
It's unreal. This crap is right out of a movie - Bill O'reilly is a cartoon. He actually bitched at some homeless veterans and accused them of not watching his show. A man who makes more money than these veterans have probably ever seen, doing less in his whole life than any one of those veterans did in their first week of boot camp, has accused them, homeless veterans, of not watching his television show.
Just as a side note - has anyone else noticed that O'Reilly doesn't have any lips? Where'd they go? Or are they just covered with liver-spots like the rest of his body?
These Homeless-Vets-vs-O'Reilly videos need to be forwarded to every veterans organization in America.
I Loved XANADU. I loved Gene Kelly in XANADU.
Aside from the disgusting lengths he will go to sidestep an obvious lie, Bill is dishonest in almost everything he says.
For instance, claiming that Robert Greenwald cannot get a job in Hollywood because of Xanadu? Xanadu was released in 1980, yet Greenwald made Hollywood feature films in 1988, 1993, 1997, and 2000 starring actors such as Russell Crowe, Martin Sheen and Susan Sarandon. He has also produced and/or directed literally dozens of telemovies since Xanadu. Hardly "cannot get a job," as BillO claims.
He also claimed Xanadu was "one of the biggest bombs in motion picture history." Er, actually, it made a slight profit, at worst breaking even and spawning a double-platinum soundtrack album. While it is a terrible movie, what BillO claims is an outright lie.

Had to go to the market and watched this when I got back....this may sound strange but we have been infected by other peoples behavior nationally and worldwide. I am not a tin hat kind of guy and thanks for the link, it is analogous to the present situation. Check this link out, it may seem a little off putting but it is very apropos to the state we find ourselves in. http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/political_ponerology_lobaczewski.htm
And JoeO, right about the pedestal, a little humanity goes a long way-thanks
It was comical that none of the homeless vets at the protest had any idea what Bill O'Reilly actually said.
ysbaddaden @ 93:
I am in the same boat the VA will give me the meds but I don't like flatlining, what I do to deal with it is teach myself how to play guitar, watch movies that make me laugh, and hold my family dear, not saying' this is what you should do just sayin'. and by the way you have every right in this present world to be depressed, it isn't a black mark on the soul, it is a right of passage, a honing of the spirit, trial by fire that makes you a human being with eyes to see.
And Lose the song-Laughing
abob @ 96:
Why would that be comical, they are on the street remember, not watching the toobz sitting on some comfortable couch.
Do You know the definition of obtuse hoser?
Maddy @ 98:
abob thinks if he throws out an irrelevant talking point enough times then it may be accepted as pertinent.
Appears O'Reilly is feeling some heat for his using homeless veterans to attack Edwards. Given all this scrambling he, and those infatuated with him, are doing in response to being asked to be accountable for what he says.
Nicole Belle @ 70:
That being said: I seem to recall Fox asking the nation, "are you smarter than a fifth grader?" It turns out, the answer is "not very many people." :)
Charles @ 24:
Let me get this straight.
1. Billious claims there are few or no homeless vets.
2. Homeless vets hear of Billious' claim and march on Faux studios.
3. "Someone" had to "talk them into it", i.e. convince the homeless vets
that they were indeed homeless. They couldn't figure out that they
were homeless on there own?
Have I got it now?
You, sir, are a moron.
Thing Fish @ 99:
You know Thingfish, I am 66 years old and when I was younger and thinking of the future the scenario we find ourselves in never crossed my mind, it would have been the stuff of science fiction. To find myself in a world with the likes of Bill O'reilly coupled with the oppression of us from all sides is so revolting to me I sometimes think I will go completely crazy. They are generating so much hate and mental garbage that I fear we will never be able to come back from it, I won't give up trying, but that is how I feel and people like abob are so blind they don't see that this is happening to all of us and they would be far better served by joining the fight against the oppression than enabling it.
Pointing out the obvious is probably a waste of time vis a vis abob but we should at least give it a shot we got bupkes to lose.
Hey O'Reilly,
How fucking old are you? 12?
BOYCOTT oreilly turd factor
Im glad someone watches this cretin. I personally have NOT turned by channel to Fox for over 7 years now... coincidence? I think not. But C&L, THANK YOU for at least digging the corn out of that RANCID TURD for those of us who DO NOT watch that TRASH.
Maddy @ 102:
Bill O'Rielly has a big megaphone but that is about it. Abob may not be alone but he is in the minority. Our country is manipulated and misdirected, but it still has plenty of good people in it. According to the VA there are 23.5 million veterans. I would say making them aware of Bill O'Rielly's recent statements about veterans is i pretty good way to start ushering in the end of his media career.
Tony T @ 103:
Why are you insulting 12 year olds? My 12 year old knows more than that idiot!
Billo,
Homeless people don't have homes.
So, they don't have TVs.
Even if they had a TV, they would probable prefer not to watch Fox and particularly not your program which insults them.
Understand? I have to put it as if I was explaining it to a five year old!

xoites defends Constitution Says:
Well said, and I would add that people on all sides are getting sick and tired of this shit. They have been feeding us hate and division for a long time. People don't want to live like this, it goes against are very nature as human beings, we don't want to hurt people only monsters do that. We lose are tempers, get in fights, and murder each other, but that is not our basic nature just one of our darker aspects, and to feed on that darkside is a dangerous and evil proposition, and I think it time to say enough is enough, easy to say but hard to accomplish, I hope we are up to the task.
Calling Billo a paramecium? Setting the bar kind of high for him aren't ya?
Maddy @ 109:
correcting my bad use of are, I type to fast for my brain to follow
abob @ 96:
It is not comical, it is tragic. They don't have homes so they don't have TVs. And even if they had TV, they are smart enough not to waste time on Bill O'Reilly.
Anyway, why am I wasting time on him?
thanks for the support of xanadu! how sad that bill blames the homeless vets for xanadu!
i challenge him to a skate off.

Dave @ 84:
Dave, Dildo's original statements were that there weren't many homeless vets out there, certainly not as many as Edwards claimed. When it became apparant that that was not true, he tried to change the subject, but he forgot that those machines all around him record every word he says.
How did the homeless vets find out? The people who recorded the homeless vets' comments are also able to play video for them with portable equipment. They showed them O'Reilly's own words. It's not that hard to figure out.
Bill O doesn't have minions! How dare they send out their minions! Also, he did say there were no homeless veterans. What a liar.
Billo made a Christmas trip to Iraq in December 2006 and most recently a trip to Afghanistan Novemer, 2007 to express gratitude to the troops. Billo was greeted with a warm and enthusiastic reception by the troops on both visits. Hundreds stood on line while he handed out signed copies of his books. Either our fighting men and women in uniform are a bunch of imbecilic idiots who are unaware that O'Reilly hates veterans; or they recognize Billo as a genuine friend of the military who respects and honors their service & sacrifice.
Asking a homeless guy if he watched tv last night... tsss... tsss... tsss.....
Interviewer: "If you don't know O'Reilly said, why are you here protesting his remarks?"
Homeless Vet: "Some guy named Greenwald offered to buy me a bottle of booze if I showed up."
Bill O'Reilly is a sick bastard. I have no idea what kinds of people watch his horror show. Great, now I am depressed again.
I'm actually glad O-LIEly isn't going to do anything about the homeless people.
If you actually watch and listen closely to what he said during his interview with Schultz, he said if they did find a homeless vet under a bridge he would "make sure they didn't do it anymore, be there any more."
That is NOT an offer of help. More than likely, Mr. O=LIEly would have called the cops and had them arrested for vagrancy, or since he thinks they are all drunks and drug addicts, for possession or drunk & disorderly, or whatever.
The comments about this kind of crap leading to a bad attitude about homeless vets is absolutely spot on.
In my community about a week before these stupid comments, a homeless veteran, who lived under a bridge here, was beaten, kicked and stomped to death by two young men for apparently no reason. They accosted the veteran, who was well known in the community, tried to pick a fight with him, and when he tried to walk away, knocked him down, and repeatedly kicked him and stomped on his head. They then left. The next morning when the vet's death was reported on the news, one of the young men apparently developed a guilty conscience and turned himself in. While he admitted participating in the beating and implicated the other young man, he provided no motive for the attack other than just "hassling him".
The veteran served in combat in Vietnam, two tours, suffered from PTSD and was "claustrophobic" of being in closed spaces as a result. He was well known at the Poverello Center (a local shelter and soup kitchen) for his cheerful demeanor, his willingness to help out others, and no one ever saw him drunk or high. He was 52 years old.
And by the way - there are at least 4 other "homeless veterans living under that same bridge". Just in case anyone really wanted to help.
I swear I think O Rielly would hastily take viagra in hopes of sex, with his reflection in the mirror.
And to think, FOX plays re runs of Billy. FOX must have lots of Advertising time that is not bought.

Wiskey-Tango-Foxtrot is wrong with you man? Can't spell worth shit and not even on topic. You sir, are the crazy one. Do you even hold down a job?
Even people that haven't seen any of footage have more facts than O'Reilly.
Charles @ 24:
That is not what happened. These people were told the facts and they reacted. Just because O'Reilly said there were very few homeless veterans doesn't mean that those protesting were misinformed. In your post the quotation marks around, "got some veterans" should not be there. Also no one "talked them into it." These people were pro-veteran from the beginning.
Had Bill O'Reilly had brains instead of falafel for brains, he simply would have said something like this:
"The other night on my show I criticized John Edwards for stating that there were 200,000 homeless veterans. However, after doing some additional research and having other facts brought to my attention, it turns out that Mr. Edwards was right and my criticism of him was wrong. I do not like Mr. Edwards politics but in this instance is right. I made a mistake and to my viewers I apologize."
Instead, he just keeps digging.
Dave @ 80:
You're a fine one to be telling others to quit drinking kool-aid. O'Reilly DID deny that there's lots of homeless vets (which would mean NYC too). Check his actual words to Big Eddie...O'REILLY: "They may be out there, but there are not many of them out there, OK?" He later said on his radio show he even said he doubts the VA's numbers.
And a better question to ask is why O'Reilly didn't have the cajones to come out and talk with them? He could have made his point and gone after Greenwald too. But he didn't because he knows they would have gotten him on his numbers denial. He hid in the building and attacked from his own show where he has control and where he doesn't actually have to engage any of the vets. Life is much better for O'Reilly in his safe little studio where the real world rarely gets to confront him.
Obviously all of you read about it and didn't see it.
O'Reilly went after Edwards because he claimed their are 200K homless veterans due to the 'ECONOMY'.
O'Reilly said that was a lie. Then he had on a representative who works with homeless vets to talk about it.
The number one reason they are homeless, as O'Reilly had pointed out, was addiction, not the economy
The reason for the addiction was not discussed in depth (PTSD, mental illness etc..) but the ECONOMY is not the reason they are homeless.
There is a reason why 90+% of the military and their families vote for one party. They don't believe the lies that are spewed about them.
The fact is we all want a great economy, a small lower class, great education, few if any homeless, people to be happy.
The politicians and public just disagree on how to get there. There does not have to be so much hatred.
Some people believe a strong social program and a socialist bend on the government is best. And some people disagree and feel the best way to live our lives is with little of no central government at all.
But everyone wants the same thing, the best country we can get, there is no reason to be so angry and hateful in the debate. And that goes for people on the right and left, both are equally as bad.
One side paints the defense industry, the pharm companies etc as the bad guys (and some are) and the other sees the trouble in the lawyers, unions etc..(and some are just as bad).
Billions are missing from military spending...I would say billions have been wasted on unions spending (see Big Dig (14 billion over budget), see failed education system as we spend more now per student than ever but results have gone down for 50 years).
To think one party has it all right or wrong is dumb, there are good ideas on both sides. When you see that you will be happier I promise
Both Democrats and Republicans love big government. Democrats love to pass social legislation that favors minority groups and low income whites in exchange for votes. Republicans love to curry favor the rich via free market intervention. They exempt the elite class from anti trust legislation and hand them massive tax breaks in exchange for financial support tor their re-election.
Dave @ 128: "O’Reilly went after Edwards because he claimed their are 200K homless veterans due to the ‘ECONOMY."
Please show us where Edwards said "there are 200K homeless veterans due to the ECONOMY". Please post Edwards' full quote and a link.
Does Bill-O Pudd'n Pop understand that when he is spewing his pablum all over the airwaves that it's actually being recorded so that those of us who are paying attention can refer back to it and catch him in his lies? Billo has his head up is ass so much that there should be a separate vault dedicated to his broadcasts and labeled "Save For Posterior." He should marry that fascist party doll Ann-drogynous Coultergeist. But then she...he...whatever..isn't into same-sex marriage. I know that doesn't logically make sense, but look who we're talking about.
JOHN EDWARDS: You see very few Americans getting wealthier and wealthier. You see the biggest corporations in America's profits through the roof. ExxonMobil just made $40 billion, record profits. Tonight, 200,000 men and women who wore the uniform of the United States of America and served this country honorably will go to sleep under bridges and on grates.
Here it is.....
Dave @ 128:
Did you even bother to check out the posting with O'Rielly's unedited comments with links to the video clip? Download or view streaming in Windows MP or Apple QuickTime formats.
Evidently this needs to be repeated for the papa-bear lovers out there:
Rule #1 when you find yourself in a hole: STOP DIGGING. Anyone with a functioning IQ knows that.
Dave @ 132:
Thing Fish @ 133:
The answer to that is a resounding no, Dave didn't bother. He simply believes whatever O'Reilly tells him with no regard to the truth...in other words, Dave chugs down the O'Reilly kool-aid.
That quote you gave, Dave, does not prove that Edwards said the vets are homeless because of the economy. But don't feel too bad about not being able to prove your point as O'Reilly hasn't been able to prove that Edwards said the vets were homeless due to the economy either because Edwards has NOT said that.
And why no link to this quote you posted? Maybe because you're too embarrassed to admit that you took that quote from O'Reilly's 1/23 "Talking Points Memo" which O'Reilly dishonestly edited? In the video that O'Reilly used of Edwards' debate statement, O'Reilly edited out a line from what Edwards said in hopes of making his case against Edwards stronger by putting the Exxon statement right beside the homeless vets statement.
Watch O'Reilly's video of this talking point (still available at foxnews.com) and you can clearly see the edit. If you read the transcript from the debate or watch video of the debate, after Edwards spoke of Exxon's profits, he went on to talk about people not having healthcare and being worried about the ability to feed & clothe their children. Then he went on to mention the homeless vets. Again, nothing was said that the homeless vets are that way due to the economy.
And why is O'Reilly trying to use a clip from the later debate instead of one from Edwards' Iowa concession speech...where the original homeless vets quote was made that got O'Reilly so mad? Could it be because Edwards didn't say vets were homeless due to the economy in that speech either? O'Reilly is a liar who engages in dishonest editing and you have been duped by him.
