We’re finally starting to see the rest of the world come to realize what I originally reported on this site: that both Sean Hannity and Freedom Alliance are defrauding donors to their scams, er . . . “charities.” And now, as a result of my work, a major charity evaluator–a charity evaluator whose rating of the group I exposed as completely flawed–has woken up downgraded Freedom Alliance, slashing its rating in half.
A few weeks ago, I blew the lid off of the fraud that is Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concerts and the scam “charity” known as “Freedom Alliance.” I showed you the organization’s tax returns and how Hannity lied to his audience when he told them a $30,000 sponsorship by Boca Java would fund a whole year’s college scholarship for the child of a fallen American soldier. I showed you that, in fact, Freedom Alliance has NEVER paid for the full year’s tuition of a college student.

There is an unwritten rule, which I break, don’t say anything bad about the Detroit area.
I wouldn’t want anyone to post pics for my Dad’s house, but in anyone wants to FReep Mail me, I’ll give the address, aim two blocks to the east, then you can see why I cry when I have to take him to the store.
Can’t be many college aged children of fallen heros yet. Soldiers are young so their families are young. I just don’t buy any of this stuff against Hannity and this foundation. I will believe Shaun until I see the books.
When she writes, I hear Hillary’s screeching in my head. It was funny as heck when Rush plays the clip, and then says it reminds him of his ex-wives.
That’s horrible. I’ve seen the pics of the abandoned neighborhoods.
Was this the same charity rating company that the foundation initially cited?
The sadest part there are great blocks, like my Dad’s, drive a little over. Looks like Jenny can shoot a WWII movie there.
The one block I was talking about, I use to help a friend on his paper route.
yup.
Then she needs to discuss this issue with him privately instead of airing accusations...possibly false ones at that...in the public arena without solid proof.
I don't know who this woman thinks she is or why some on FR put so much stock in her blog postings, but IMHO, she really needs to put some restraint on her histrionics, she is the type that makes us look bad, not Hannity.
The context of the $165 & other small donations is various vet associations ask for one time plane fares, etc for wounded vets. Sort of like you giving $10 to a fund raiser for a family short of money and then someone sees your name and say you were to cheap because they lost the father to a sickness and that is why they were short of money.
Context is everything.
When you are in the public eye, you have to be so careful. That’s especially true of conservatives because we have such high standards and because the MSM and others are out just waiting for us to make mistakes. I don’t doubt Sean. He’s a husband and father who gives a LOT of his free time (he really has little and donates a lot of that) for causes to give to those who have less than he does. I don’t question trying to save himself time, but I’m afraid others will. And under public scrutiny.
Are they bulldozing there yet?
Very nicely stated. I agree entirely.
Freedom Alliance was founded in 1990 by Oliver North, who now serves as the organization’s honorary chairman. We work to keep America strong, keep America prosperous, and keep America free. The mission of Freedom Alliance is to advance the American heritage of freedom by honoring and encouraging military service, defending the sovereignty of the United States and promoting a strong national defense.
Like Lyndon Johnson once said: “It isn’t important whether it is true or not, what is important is making the accusation.”
Something is seriously wrong with Debbie. She appears so bent on revenge over some perceived slight that she can't think straight.
The Freedom Alliance does not exist to deal with the medical expenses of soldiers. They have the VA for that. For all she knows, the grants were in response to specific requests for exactly these amounts. She is jumping to conclusions with no facts. It's muckraking of the worst kind.
I have lost all confidence in her. She appears to be out of her mind.
she has a ready audience to pounce on the smearing. read the comments. i highly doubt those that posted their “praising” comments are anything but Dem operatives.
Then she should simply contact Hannity to discuss it directly with him, speak to the charity organizers or call the authorities if those efforts fail. However, she will do extensive PR damage if she is wrong, not only to Hannity and/or the charity, but to the conservative cause.
He’d better!!!
Nevertheless, I always thought Debbie Schlussel had first rate conservative credentials. Is that wrong?
