I never heard of this incident and I know nothing about DS. I thought she was the lone conservative writer at the SF Chronicle. But, I now know that was Debra J. Saunders.

I am finding nothing about how this all played out. I'll admit that Hannity is not where my dial is set, but I'd be very disappointed to learn that these allegations were proven true.

........this sounds like bologna. Hannity has lots and lots of enemies!!

Debbie Schlussel was pissed at Sean because she said he stole her work

Schlussel is nothing but a narcissistic butt-blogger who suffers from lookatmeitis......

I vaguely recall her original accusations and I think Hannity really pissed her off when he totally ignored her. She was hoping he'd grant her credibility by naming her on air but he never fell for it......

Sounds about right.

These were not. If you search topic Debbie Schlussel on FR, you can read the threads. Her accusations were only propelled by the kossacks and DU.

Let’s put this in perspective. How much money was collected and how much was paid out for the charity? If 98% was paid out then the luxury loving Hannity should not be chastized. If, however, his perks ate up 50% of the proceeds, he should be ashamed. Anyone know the figures?

Their link should answer your questions.

Remember, they are awarding Scholarships. (since 2003)

Freedom Concerts have raised 10 Million for the Freedom Alliance. (since 2003)

[machogirl]

The Freedom concerts are NOT part of the Freedom Alliance other than funds raised after expenses are donated to the Freedom Alliance.

There is overhead on holding the concerts. (venue, security, etc).
