Tell O'Reilly the truth about homeless vets! Sign the letter.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, almost 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night in America, accounting for about one-third of the adult homeless population

2. I suggest an all-expenses-paid trip for Bill to this place
The New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans: http://www.neshv.org/

That way, he can meet some homeless vets up close and personal.

I'm sorry - but do you honestly think this will matter to Bill?
Seriously, think about it. He continues to spout BS that he KNOWS is factually wrong. He refuses to apologize or correct his statements... Better to just put him on ignore.

4. Probably not, but it does show support for the Iraq and Afghanistan vets who are
sponsoring the letter campaign.

8. True, I'll give you that.
It's just hard to get on board with anything in regards to Bill. It just seems like he's a losing cause, and the source of so much frustration. I just look for the highlights on KO.

3. Aboslutely K & R - Send a message to the veteran-despising republicon Chickenhawks
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 10:57 AM by SpiralHawk
Commander AWOL Bus, Dickie "Five Military Deferments" Cheney, and
their highly paid Chickenhawk propagandists ("O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. etc. ad nauseum)
need to be sent a strong message:

"Americans don't want Chickenhawk Republicon Homelanders LYING any more about our honorable veterans."

Republicon "leadership"

6. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs?
Ha! What do they know. They're just faking those numbers to get more federal money!


(I would put the sarcasm tag in here but sadly the above statement will undoubtedly be used by some RW dunderhead.)
