Is she misstating the figures from their 990 filings? If not, it sure sounds problematic to me.

BTW, I’m no fan of Debbie S. at all.

If he is making a 5% profit on his operation, he is in the mid to low normal range for the activity he does. If he's donating his profits, which he is, and it's seven or more percent at times, then he is doing damn well.

I don't give a crap about Hannity, but this misunderstanding about how stuff works is alarming to me. His concerts and speaking engagements are business activities, not charity gigs. He makes plenty of bucks so he is charitable enough to donate his profits. His profits are in line with what he does.

She is purposely misrepresenting what the figures mean. For instance, she pretends that the education grants and the checks to wounded soldiers are the only or main programs...Freedom Alliance has more programs.

Charity Navigator Rating, an independent charity rating organization rates Freedom Alliance four stars out of a possible four stars. About 80% of the money they spend is on program costs. This is very good and efficient. Here is the URL for Charity Navigator:

Please try to have some faith in good Americans who work hard to do good things.
