If true this is horrendous. I haven't watched Hannity since Colmes left. Colmes, although a worthless liberal, at least balance Hannity. Hannity now start his show by saying Obama did this and that and ends it with Obama did this and that!
This thread is not about the relative worth of the Hannity Show.
Who gives a damn about his shows, anyway?
Mr. Hannity is not the point. The point is that so many of these libs here at USMB (not all, of course, thankfully) are more than happy to try to "score" some political "point" by smearing the guy on ANY basis -- regardless of how fair or unfair it is, and regardless of the reason or LACK of reason for the attack.
To argue that the Freedom Concerts "are" a scam is to state a conclusion. A retarded "conclusion," but a conclusion all the same. When pressed, the proponents of that absurd claim point to figures from required tax filings. The figures show that a relatively small percent of donations/contributions go, now, to the intended beneficiaries. But there's nothing deeper about their analysis than this one misleading factoid.
Even after the error of their thinking gets pointed out to them, these libs do not have the decency (by and large) to admit that maybe they were being a bit too categorical and unfair.
If they'd take their partisan blinders off for a freaking nano-second, they'd perhaps realize that there are COSTS associated with putting on these shows. Those COSTS constitute valid spending of donations and contributions with an eye toward generating more donations and contributions. And a significant portion of the monies collected over the past several years HAVE HAD TO BE INVESTED. Those funds are thus NOT able to be distributed to the intended beneficiaries, either. And some of the monies that are earmarked to BE eventually spent ON the intended beneficiaries are also being horded, at present, so that they are available when the intended recipients REACH college age and then need the scholarship money.
What we get treated to by the lib partisan hacks is the dishonest rhetoric of morons like bent tight who claim that Hannity makes money off of the Freedom Alliance. That idiot liar then waffles a bit -- because he obviously has nothing real to offer -- and pretends that he always meant that Hannity gets publicity off of the Freedom alliance. The fucking liar, bent tight, that pussy, cannot find his nadz long enough to then admit that Hannity doesn't "get" publicity, he PROVIDES the publicity.
There ARE, as I noted before, some honest libs here who don't jump on that cheese-dick bandwagon of smearing a decent person for cheap political "points." But it would be nice to see a few more of them step up to the plate and call out asswads like that lying pussy bent tight.
