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.

The truth is in the paperwork. It's just being chewed up by a gopher.

His profits looked damn good for the sort of thing he does, and the charitable set asides are understated because they are not labeled as such. The assets of the Alliance are the charitable remains after expenses, and to me it appeared that many millions of dollars have been generated for these kids education. If not, then there is something wrong with the forms, or perhaps its just the author of this hit piece.

The numbers are not that unusual from other large organizations. As I posted a while ago, The numbers are not too far off from the American Cancer Society.

I stopped listening to him four years back when I finally found a full time job. As for the allegations of fraud let the cards fall as they may. When I did listen to him I got the sense he was just playing the game. Trying to perhaps emulate Rush.

OK great. Tell people how much goes to the troops and watch how fast they give their money elsewhere.

She’s a mole who just exposed herself. Hannity won’t blink. O North knows how to handle this non-issue.

The underground libs on this thread are proof enough that they thought this would put Conservatives on the defense. Instead, it’s all about Offense baby.

Strategic Offense by Hannity and Levin against the Corrupt Salesman in the WH. Obama would have made a good sales rep for a company as he has no problem with lying at will. But he has some serious issues coming up, thank you Pastor Manning, which will continue to chip away at his credibility issue. If he bought, rather than attended Columbia University, those paying off Student Loans will be horrified at the lack of credentials by this clown.

Don’t blink Sean....keep hitting the target along with Levin.

No you need to step into the next decade and realize that Sean has been a Freeper along with his good friend Mark Levin over the years.

The so called allegations are just an attempt from a mole to change the subject from Obama’s upcoming career suicide weekend.

Sean won’t blink.

We have you covered here in Virginia, as we head North across the Potomac. These lying, America Hating BASTARDS must be confronted.

But if she is outright lying it would have been found out by now.

Obama has been lying and distorting for years and he hasn't been found out.

They’re not giving their money to the troops, if they were doing that they wouldn’t be sitting in an audience getting something for their money. It’s like buying something with the promise that X would go to a good cause.

No, I think we call Obama on his lies pretty consistently.

There are website devoted to exposing his lies.

I for one hope this isn't true. We have tickets (4) for the family to go to the Freedom Concert in Cincinnati in August. If this is true I'm going to be very, VERY upset. We bought the tickets because of the cause (helping send vet's kids to college.)

The tickets were NOT CHEAP by the way..

Why didn’t this Mole write something about Obama?

Instead, she goes after Hannity and North??? On the Eve of Obama, Reid and Pelosi’s actions which are grounds for impeachment?

This troll of a woman is NOT a Conservative. That is obvious with her timely hit piece. Dems are in obvious disarray with this transparent plant.

The issue is whether they are funding their stated mission or not. I am used to looking at tax documents. The reserves mean little especially given the run rate of expenses that do not appear tied to the primary mission of helping injured soldiers and the children of the 4000 plus dead military.
For me, the onus is now on Hannity to demonstrate his concern and to address the reality or appearance of abuse.

I have never left, it was Hannity who left, announced he left, told his friends to leave, and now, without so much as a by your leave expects us to be friendly to him??

He left US, we didn’t leave HIM

Gosh, you sure dont know FR history!
