Bill O’Reilly, the bombastic, belligerent bully of Fox News, apparently doesn’t have the backbone to meet with a group of folks he claimed really don’t exist—homeless veterans.

Last week, we told you about O’Reilly’s delusional claims that homeless veterans don’t exist, even though Bush administration figures show that on any given night, there are about 200,000 former service men and women who are homeless. Given the facts, O’Reilly eventually grudgingly admitted there might be some homeless vets, but it wasn’t really much of a problem.

Yesterday in New York City, a group of homeless vets tried to meet with O’Reilly. They wanted to present a petition signed by 17,000 people demanding an apology and an acknowledgment that homelessness is a serious problem among veterans who served our country.

The veterans marched to the Fox News offices where O’Reilly shoots his show. O’Reilly didn’t show up. Instead, a Fox flunky appeared, offering to deliver the petition, because after all, they didn’t have an appointment with his Foxship.

Veteran Gregory Rollins told reporters he would like to ask O’Reilly:

What you got to hide? We’re right here. We brought it to you.

If O’Reilly really believes there’s not much of a homelessness problems for veterans, Nestor Cabrera said:

Mr. Bill O’Reilly, I would like to escort you to the shelter. I would like to escort you to the VA hospital, to the streets. I would like to know where you get your data from….What did we fight for? I love my country. Don’t treat us like this!

[Dawggie]

4. and another K&R

[hootinholler]

5. They're lucky he didn't send Fox security down to pick up the petition.

:rofl:

-Hoot

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

8. You did see Faux Security in the first video

It was a skinny guy in a blue jacket--he tried to stop the gentleman that went in with the lady who had the petitions. The gentleman ignored the skinny guy who shrugged and went away!

6. Bill O'Reilly is like a cartoon character.

He's so out there that its hard to believe he is a real person.

Between this and his disgusting remarks about the boy who was kidnapped and held hostage for years, its a wonder he still has an audience. Why would anyone watch this pompous jackass?

[Skittles]

26. I tell you

I've despised O'Reilly for years and did not think he could sink much lower but he managed to do that with his indecent remarks regarding the child kidnap victim - that was beyond sick.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

7. great videos

And I think they show O'Lielly's cravenness. The comments on youtube were interesting as well.

[Jack Rabbit]

9. Now let's imagine BillO at an interview

Q: Mr. O'Reilley, are you avoiding homeless veterans?

Why, of course not. What a ridiculous question! There are no homeless veterans.

[Omaha Steve]

10. A swift kick in his pants

One self kick has always been my limit.

[BuelahWitch]

16. You forgot

"Shut up, Shut UP, SHUT UP!!!" :rofl:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. Bugawk!

All bluster and no guts.

That's Billo.

[pamela]

13. K & R n/t

[DrDan]

15. he now claims he never said that there were homeless veterans

he is blaming that story on the head of NBC.

What a s**thead.

This is posterchild of the party of responsibility.

[Yael]

17. A big K&R for KO!!

Excellent segment.

Edwards' message has legs....

:woohoo:

[OhioChick]

18. K&R

O'Reilly is Pond Scum.

:kick:

[me b zola]

19. K&R

[MiniMe]

20. O'Liely has changed the spin a bit. Now he says that veterans aren't homeless because

of the economy. Um, Bill.....why else would they be homeless??

[0007]

21. Bill O'Reilly has a probem with persistant body oder and confronting

people that piss him off.

When FAUX closes their doors on that day, I hope they realize that it is people like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and the likes that brought them down. I hope they realize that Keith Olbermann tried to give them some kind of a warning.

[Triana]

22. BillO...

...what a flaming jackass. :puke:

[EFerrari]

23. Pathetic craven sink scum. K&R

[Generic Brad]

24. We can be certain he's not hiding under a bridge

Because that just might blow his cockamamie theory.

[AgadorSparticus]

25. Keith Olberman kicked O'reilly's butt to kingdom come the other night over this.

How O'reilly can walk out in public is a wonder to me...

[GardeningGal]

27. Still hiding from Edwards?

I admit to not watching or reading everything. Can't stand the a**, but wasn't this an argument he was trying to have with Edwards?

[Faux pas]

28. Isn't talking big and running fast two of the main traits of a coward?

bill o'reilly=pussy.

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

29. BillO is a spineless fool.

He can dish it out, but he sure can't take it. I ate it up the other night, when KO called him out flat on the carpet!

[SpiralHawk]

30. Bill O: Typical draft-dodging republicon homelander

Big mouth, no guts...

[Quantess]

31. Sunday kick.

[opihimoimoi]

32. Rigid, arrogant, Bully....he yells STFU at times....revealing a Pub Flaw.
