Sean Hannity’s Freedom CONcert Scam
Debbie Schlussel Blog Post ^ | March 18, 2010 | Debbie Schlussel

Posted on 03/18/2010 12:54:44 PM PDT by TRY ONE

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.

As the facts come out, your post 597 seems to have proven very accurate.

I'm not a big fan of his show, but it seems he is in fact a very, very good guy with this charity.

The exact ratio of direct aid to operating expenses doesn't appear out of line, but whatever it is, Sean Hannity is obviously giving more or his time and money to the troops and their families than anyone I know.

I was predisposed to believe Debbie Schlussel as I've enjoyed her writings, but I was wrong.

The problem with Debbie’s screed and her response is that she’s writing from a position of ignorance. She’s assuming you can give unlimited amounts of money to active duty service members without any negative repercussions for those service members. She doesn’t understand how the DOD operates and it makes her look kind of stupid.

Are you dense? ... The paragraph you quoted to me clearly settles this matter.

Are you dense? I pulled that paragraph out of your link to settle the case.

My last post was in reference to this post you made:

“To: Bryan24
Are you dense? They are also administering $15,000,000 + in a trust fund that is for kids WHEN THEY GET OUT OF KINDERGARDEN, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, GRADE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.

I will apologize WHEN you show the proof of that statement.

#612

You owe Bryan24 an apology.

It is interesting that none of the junk yard dogs who jumped on Hannity with the accusations that he enjoyed luxurious freebies at the expense of others have had the balls to post that they were wrong.

But then what do you expect of junk yard dogs.

I don't apologize to those that sling personal insults here.

Well she certainly got everyone’s attention. Maybe that was her motive but it was self defeating. Ollie North would have been guilty by association also and I can't believe Ollie would ever do anything that wasn't on the up and up. Especially regarding our troops.

In #635 I said ..........

"Our scholarship program is managed with the understanding that it will be needed for at least the next 20 years as there are children who will ultimately receive a scholarship who are now only a few years old. As indicated on our Federal Form 990, these funds are restricted and used only for future scholarships."

A result of the time and effort you put into research.

From which of your links?

...Agreein with yer. Hannity is a republican shill, with an ego as big as his fat head. All he’s interested in is can he break the news about someone getting into the race for president. The only time he takes the pen prop out of his hand is when he’s throwing that stupid football. I have no use for him and his smarmy attitude. I won’t shed any tears if he gets canned. He can go to MSNBC and start a Hannity and Oberdork show. Just get him off of FOX news!!!

...Sorry for you that are fans, not sorry for this rant...

M1? I have one in 30-06 that I got from the CMP and one from Fulton Armory that Clint built for me, match trigger, match sight, glass bedding and a Kreiger match barrel, in .308. I don't own anything in .223.

this rant against Hannity might be a reason he wouldn’t speak to her, she hates him.

She hates him because... and rightly so.

She does hate him. That doesn’t excuse Debbie (or Sean) for poor reporting.

...Lately, I like GB, try to catch his show when I’m able. Limbaugh, a long time, love him/hate him. McConnell, Savage sometimes. Don’t have much time to listen to others. Conservative, independent, libertarian leaning, some local people. Listened to air am, for the left POV. Most are entertainers, but, they have some passion, and things that agree with me...
