O'Reilly: We don't owe homeless vets anything
|
Bill O'Reilly continues his lie that John Edwards blamed homelessness among veterans on corporations and the economy (watch the edit around :42 where Edwards talking about Exxon Mobil's record profits is spliced to a different clip of Edwards talking about homeless veterans to make them seem connected). Edwards has never blamed homelessness among vets on corporations or the economy. BOR then attacks David Letterman.
BOR goes on to claim that the Veterans Administration has plenty of beds for every homeless veteran. In a discussion with conservative idiot Carrie Lukas and FOX contributor Col. (ret.) David Hunt, BOR claims that homeless vets suffering from addiction "don't want to be rehabbed" and that homeless vets don't need help because "it isn't a matter of owing anybody anything." BOR was clearly upset that Hunt, a reliable ally, repeatedly refuted all of BOR's claims that homeless vets get all the help they need, that the VA provides a bed for every one of them, and that homeless vets have chosen to be homeless addicts.
Two weeks after saying that the government is providing plenty of money and resources to help homeless veterans, that homeless vets are in their situation by choice, and that Americans don't owe homeless vets anything, BOR announced that he would support the creation of a new GI bill because the government isn't providing enough money and resources to vets and that we as Americans owe veterans more than they are getting. BOR had previously said that politicians can "do little" to solve the problem of homelessness among veterans. |

FOX Attacks! "Non-Existent" Veterans
|
http://foxattacks.com/vets
To Bill O'Reilly: Homeless veterans exist. I met some.
BOR was either ignorant to or consciously ignoring a recent study from the National Alliance to End Homelessness (using data from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Census Bureau) that found "In 2006, approximately 195,827 veterans were homeless on a given night — an increase of 0.8 percent from 194,254 in 2005. More veterans experience homelessness over the course of the year. We estimate that 336,627 were homeless in 2006." |

A video slide show I created to help bring more awareness to the plight of homelessness not only this holiday season, but every day. No matter where you live, you can make a difference.
