For the last several years, Sean Hannity and the Freedom Alliance charity have conducted Freedom Concerts across America. Theyve 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 Magazines convention.
But its all a huge scam.

How could you overlook his on-the-air affair with Rudy Giuliani?
Don’t forget Giuliani.
If Freedom Alliance won’t talk to her where did she get the figures?
Is it your sister or your niece who works for Freedom Alliance?
This article is incredibly well researched. It could be your sister, niece and nephew and cousin were “had” also. Hope not!
The story is backed up by tax return information. This puts Hannity in the Jim Bakker class. Good to know information. At times I think there are more scams in the world than honest charities.
He needs to come out fast and clear this up. If this is true he’s finished. I can’t watch him but always thought he was one of the good guys.....sigh.
Not the interpretation of what they mean...for instance...you are led to believe that travel is Sean Hannity. You probably are not aware that Freedom Alliance flies families overseas (often) and pays for their hotel rooms, food, etc. to visit their wounded family member. The author is aware of this, but chose to ignore that fact and distort the information to you so that they can harm an American.
Shame on all who buy into this crap!
Hannity has always been a moron. He is a “Cliff Notes” Conservative who simply lacks the brainpower to digest intellectual thought. How he got as far as #2 is just remarkable. I don’t know how much he paid Mark Levin to write his new book for him, but he basically owes his entire career to Levin and Rush. I haven’t listened to his show in years.
The only thing that is a scam is Debbie Shlussel. The only thing this woman is famous for is attacking other conservatives. Even classifying her as a RINO would be far to kind.

Hell hath no fury ...
This is very disturbing. I had supported the Freedom Concerts as being for the benefit of the troops and their families, not for the benefit of Sean Hannity. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Sean to respond either on his radio show or TV show.
Hard to argue with tax forms.
This article ought to finish either Shlussel or Hannity. Be interesting to see which it is.
any guess as to whom is Debbie’s “friend” that used to perform at the concerts and paid his own way?
The Tax returns tell a different story. I despise all organizations that collect money for charity but spend most of it on fundraising and “expenses”. No organization is idal but the Salvation Army and Rotary are the two I support.
This will be a black eye for all unless someone gets out front and tells the truth.
Not a fan of Hannity, there are much deeper and more entertaining conservative talkers I’d rather listen to. That aside, I sincerely hope that Ms. Schlussel is mistaken, because this article is extremely damning. I can only hope that Hannity and/or Freedom Alliance will substantively respond, as I would have to interpret further silence as more damning still.
