 Con Watch Bill O deny the truth: http://evolvinginkansas.blogspot.com...  Pro First, what comments has Bill made that contradicts statistics and history? Do you have proof from anywhere besides a far-left blog and Keith Olbermann? I watched the January 16th episode and you really should try to keep this in context. Bill does NOT disagree that there are homeless vets, but only disagrees with John Edwards stance that the homeless vets are caused by economic issues. The real truth is that most of these veterans are homeless due to addiction and mental illness. http://www.foxnews.com... My opponents biggest piece of "evidence" is that Bill stated there are not many homeless veterans. This is a really general statement. Considering there are Millions of veterans 200,000 isn't really that many. Should something be done to fix it? Sure. But that statment isn't even close to shading the truth. Your whole basis for stating Bill is not credible is built around shading the truth of his disagreement with John Edwards. I have much more to say, but since the Con didn't give me much to go off of I will wait until the next round. |

I have been meaning to make a reply to your last comment on that debate. Just really busy. Keep watching it. I'll post soon.
I saw nothing in the video that shows Bill as being uncredible. Try again.
Your statement that over a million Iraqis have been killed is an outright lie.The whole number you claim is based on an opinion poll. This poll would mean that over 15,000 people died over the last 4 weeks and the 4 weeks before that and the ........
Where are the bodies? Surely with so many people being killed every month there would be graves everywhere. Where are they?
Bill's statement about homeless vets was not ridiculous. Yes, even one homeless vet is too much, but you can't help those that don't want help.
Hasn't anyone ever told you trying to talk tough on the internet does NOT make you look cool. And if you are going to talk like that you may as well send a challenge. Friggin weirdo.
Are you serious? You are going to try and play on my words to vote for a guy who failed to post? Rationalize it any way you want.
What a joke.
Regardless of Olbermann's political affiliation, right is right. Though I am not a Nazi, if Hitler stated that ice is cold and this thermometer proves it, I would have to agree.
Further proof that O'Reilly is not credible can be seen on YouTube video: Letterman loses it; counter: 1:37 (http://www.youtube.com...)
Bill O'Reilly states that conditions in Iraq before the Iraq war were equally as atrocious as they are today. If you look at the number of Iraqis that have been killed since the U.S. invaded (over 1 million) (http://news.yahoo.com...) and consider the rate of time it took for them to die - vs - the number Hussein killed and the time it took him to kill them, O'Reilly is absolutely wrong. O"Reilly even noted that Hussein killed 3-4 hundred thousand. Compared to the U.S., the atrocities are no where near equal.
As for the statement "Considering there are Millions of veterans 200,000 isn't really that many', 200,000 is a constant number, which ranges as high as 4-500, 000 during the course of the year. 1 Homeless vet is too many. 200,000 is definitely too many, and 4-500,000 is particularly bad. O'Reilly's statements on homeless vets, regardless of how general, were and are as ridiculous as his stance on the war.
