you really are a dumb shit.
I have heard Hannity state on his show that all the proceeds after cost go to this Charity.
you people are as low as a SNAKE.
like you give a shit that ANY of it is going to the troops, just so you all can use this to BASH Hannity. low low low.
You heard from the mouth of the snake himself? You really are a partisan hack.
I give a shit that any of it is going to the troops.
Only one who is low here is you for defending that bullshit.
Real charities like Wounded Warrior Project could use that money to do a lot of good.
the only SNAKE I see here is you and the people like you using this to Bash Hannity.
now go slitter away you PARTISIAN HACKoff
the only SNAKE I see here is you and the people like you using this to Bash Hannity.
now go slitter away you PARTISIAN HACKoff
I'm not using this to bash Hannity specifically. I'm using this to bash scum like Hannity and others like him who use our troops for personal and financial gain.
The only person here who is a partisan hack is you. I've shown evidence by using the tax returns themselves, all you have is partisan and angry rhetoric. The evidence is clear.
you are the biggest friggen liar and hack on this board.
man up for a change.
The charity is to help kids on a long term basis, not to give handouts.
You didn't bother to read how much these kids are getting are you?
Or how much they're getting in comparison to how much is going to "Postage and Shipping, Advisors, and Consultants."
The charity gave 3.4% of what it made in 2006. It spent 6 million+ more in "expenses" that aren't really expenses but more so a scam to pay people ridiculous amounts of money.
Did you look through the tax returns or are you just parroting Debbie Schussel's hate and venom? Be honest
I looked through them and unless I missed something, they would be correct.
Where exactly do you assume she pulled these numbers out of by the way? Thin air?
You missed something out in the 8 figures column
Chances are Sean will answer her tomorrow, he shouldn't, she really has nothing but hate and venom, but if he does answer her, it won't be pretty.
She went way out of her way to misrepresent the Freedom Alliance
you are the biggest friggen liar and hack on this board.
man up for a change.
The biggest liar here is yourself who is not only cheating yourself by believing such delusions but cheating others by trying to feed them false information.
I like the organization's Director of Programs. (2008 is the only tax report that loaded for me).

Let it be the GUVORNMUNT doing the same thing...these Neo-Cons would cry bloody murder.
Look at the tempest in a teapot they stirred over the NPR OPINION cartoon that acurately depicted the Tea-Baggers. They were up in arms about how their money is spent. Nevermind that actual government funds account for a mere 2% of NPR's income.
They then claimed that was too much.
Now watch them....
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
What a bunch of jokers!

you just described yourself to a T, snake
hannity is sad sad little man that discoverd that by lying and cheating he could appeal to a segment of the uneducated bitter little people scatered across this country. He found a network that encourages lying to broadcast his propaganda -a network that in fact sued to protect its right to lie- and employs many more pathetic excuses for human beings who have decided to get rich by appealing to the stupid hateful racist pitiful people in this country.
Just when I thought he couldn't get any lower..
Sean Hannitys Freedom CONcert Scam: Almost None of Charitys $ Went to Injured Troops, Kids of Fallen Troops; G5s for Vannity?
In fact, less than 20%and in two recent years, less than 7% and 4%, respectivelyof the money raised by Freedom Alliance went to these causes, while millions of dollars went to expenses, including consultants and apparently to ferret the Hannity posse of family and friends in high style. And, despite Hannitys statements to the contrary on his nationally syndicated radio show, few of the children of fallen soldiers got more than $1,000-$2,000, with apparently none getting more than $6,000, while Freedom Alliance appears to have spent tens of thousands of dollars for private planes. Moreover, despite written assurances to donors that all money raised would go directly to scholarships for kids of the fallen heroes and not to expenses, has begun charging expenses of nearly $500,000 to give out just over $800,000 in scholarships.
The tax forms available to the public for the Freedom Alliancefor the years 2006-2008paint a tragic story, a story of a charity that makes gazillions and spends very little for the purposes it claims, a charity that spends millions more on its small staff and crony consultants than it ever gives in scholarships to the children of the fallen or severely injured troops or in aid to the injured troops themselves. While Hannitys Freedom Concerts take in millions, only a few hundred thousand go to the claimed intended recipients.
And then, there are the 2008 Freedom Alliance tax forms, which were signed in November 2009 and filed only recently. That year, Freedom Alliance took in $8,781,431 in revenue and gave $1,060,275.57 totalor just 12%to seriously wounded soldiers and for scholarships to kids of the fallen. Remember, this is well below the 75% required to be considered a legitimate charity. And after claiming in written letters to donors that 100% of the money donated, via the Freedom Concerts or otherwise, to the scholarships would go directly to the scholarships and not to expenses, the Freedom Alliance decided to do the contrary and charge expenses anywaycharging a whopping $436,386 to give out $802,250 in scholarships. That means that 35% of the $1,238,636all of which was supposed to go to scholarships for these kids of the fallenwent to Freedom Alliance.
I learned that the organizations which evaluate charities are entirely worthless. Freedom Alliance is certified as Best in America by the Independent Charities of America. It is also rated a Four Star Charity by Charity Navigator. Both of these ratings are posted prominently on Freedom Alliances website, misleading donors into believing they are donating to a worthy cause, when in fact they are mostly donating to a black hole of expenses. Even Charity Navigator notes in its strange, illogical, and mostly inaccurate Four Star rating that Freedom Alliance has a fund-raising efficiency of only nine cents on the dollar.

Your Honor, I present to you Exhibit A: The Hit Dog Syndrome:
Notice how all one has to do is call the name of the group, in this case "Neo-Cons" and one of their most fervent members, in this case, Stephanie, HAS to come screaming and crying to its defense.
Your Honor...I rest my case.
SO, exactly WHY does it matter to anyone just HOW much money Hannity has going to a Charity?
and just why is this anyone's Business?
I believe the issue is how much of the donations his charitable organization receives are actually used for charity.
People who give to charity tend to care how their money is spent.
In various State's the Attorneys General keep lists of various charitable institutions and break-down the amount of money each spends ON the actual charitable purpose as compared to "administrative" expenses. So, for illustration, let's say that "Save the Children" gets reported in the 90+% range. That's purdy good.
Some other charitable institution may be compelled to spend a higher percentage on "administrative" expenses. When I have made contributions in the past, I have used such figures to make an assessment of where my donations would provide the most bang for the buck.
The trouble here is that it can lead to some confusion. It is often difficult to compare different charitable institutions based solely on a single factor such as "how much is used for "administrative" expenses?
If Freedom Alliance is raising funds by having concerts, then there are, certainly, significant sets of expenses that have to be laid out to GET TO the point where the contributions can start coming-in. Venue rentals don't come cheap. Even where the artists DONATE their performances and time, they still need accommodations. Hotels ain't cheap and bigger stars don't get shunted off to Motel 6. Advertising also isn't cheap. Travel expenses are significant. Mail (mass mailings to collect contributions) costs are obviously significant (just look at the tab for postage, etc).
But I believe that what CrusaderFrank is pointing out is also significant. IF Freedom Alliance is providing scholarships, they PROBABLY are doing a huge amount of INVESTING* in order to generate a steady income. So it is as misleading as hell to say "Freedom Alliance took in X dollars, but only spend 1/4 of X dollars on scholarships! Izza outwage!" Of course they would want to INVEST to GENERATE additional "income" in order to CONTINUE PROVIDING scholarships on an on-going basis.
