For the last several years, Sean Hannity and the Freedom Alliance “charity” have conducted “Freedom Concerts” across America. They’ve told you that they are raising money to pay for the college tuition of the children of fallen soldiers and to pay severely wounded war vets. And on Friday Night, Hannity will be honored with an award for this “Outstanding Community Service by a Radio Talk Show Host” at Talkers Magazine’s convention.
But it’s all a huge scam.

Yikes - if proved these allegations are devestating.
Sean sure did good with the Stop Hillary Express, though, right?
I have always considered Hannity to be a whore.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL IS NO SLOUCH!
SHE IS ONE SMART COOKIE AND THIS IS SHOCKING!!
HUGE AND SERIOUS!!!
Ever since Hannity insulted Freepers live on the air, I never liked him or listened to him on any regular basis. I was scorned for making snide comments about him by some but I dont care.
I always thought the guy was just a phony clone who did nothing but copy Limbaugh word for word, even stealing his soundbites to use on his show right after. Limbaugh even chastised him on the air for it, telling him that since he makes a few million hire a staff to work like he does. Rush started speaking over his soundbites to make sure that if Hannity stole them for his show, people would hear Rush’s voice so they would know which one was ripped off from Rush.
Maybe to his friends he is okay, but I never thought he was great, and after bad mouthing 100,000 Freepers because 7 posted negative things about him...is that all he’s got??
Debbie wrote another piece on Sean ripping him for having the disgraced congressman (whom just got out of jail), because this congressman was “anti-Semitic”. That column was not fair. Sean let the guy hang himself by letting him speak.
In this case, what she said doesn’t look good for Sean, but knowing her bias, I am skeptical until it’s proven/dis-proven.
It doesn’t sound good and I think that Sean should respond.
Better be true...or one H of a lawsuit is headed the writers way. PROOF?
The tax records speak for themselves. Perhaps Sean can clear up the matter.
Well, you do not understand the honor of the people behind the Freedom Alliance, it is an incredibly good organization with people who do good all over the world for our people in service and their children. This person who is slandering them obviously distorts facts to make them appear worse than what they are. For instance, taking private planes for some of the celebrities is common practice all over the country. I can tell you my niece who also works with Freedom Alliance and travels with the show each year does not fly private jets, but takes commercial. That is a fact...This is an article to divide Americans (once again) and I suppose there will be those only too eager to join in. Oliver North is also involved heavily in the Freedom Alliance, he is also a man of great honor and love for the service people his organization serves.
Sean at times is very left-wing RINO’ish, with his support of McCain and Romney.
IF true he should be toast.
I hope this is not true.
Hannity needs to come out now and either fully debunk this or apologize and start making restitution.
If this is true, this will be a HUGE mark, not just against Hannity, but against people who have supported and followed Hannity, conservatives in general, and last but not least Fox News.

What point is a lie? The tax forms show that they took in ten million, and only handed out 300 thousand.
Is your sister a volunteer, or does she get paid? If she gets paid, then the story is actually true. Money is going for administration costs, and NOT every dime is going to orphaned children and wounded warriors.
Gotta say one thing for Alinski tactics - they are effective!
Sean Shammity...”You’re a great American!”
I hope he “weighs in” on this. Or his “busy busy” telephones are going to be even busier, busier with “Great Americans” who are “letting their hearts be troubled.”
Sean has always bugged me — always trying to promote something in the cheesiest way. And he’s a lightweight conversationalist. I flip over to WOR for Lou Dobbs and Steve Malzberg as soon as Rush is over.
Those figures are not true, the article badly distorts the truth!
Never liked Hannity, but I do hope he is more honest than is being portrayed.
So the tax returns aren’t accurate?
I’m not buying this....sorry.
SH is always saying how he took Jet blue to this place and that. If he is expensing Gulfstream trips under cover of a charity then shame on him. He had better nip this in the bud or it will not go away.
YIKES!!!
Hannity (”I have a new book coming out...”) had better hit this one hard and fast, with documentation - great specificity - to prove his claims, whatever they may be.
Out of my three favorite talk show hosts (Rush, Mark, Glenn), Hannity is fourth.
