Sean Hannitys takes money intended for injured troops/children

[DMX7]

No Sherlock. There are still expenses involved like travel, moving equipment, hotels, venue, etc.

And there are still ways to pay for that yourself or at least not do every thing first class (and take away money from the veterans). Too noble?

OK smartass. Give us a cost breakdown that includes the concert hall prices they have these at.

[mouse]

Sure, if you make it a nationwide standard for all charities. I wonder how your pet charities will fare?

Then maybe some of us are confusing charities with fund raisers. I still think it's misleading somewhat If I went to a charity to keep ST from shutting down I would rather just give Kori my 25 dollars than for her to receive the 8%.

I wonder how much of the "live Aid" concert funds raised actually went to the people who needed it. I will now question where my money goes before I attend another charity event. Next month my friends mom is making bar B Q plates for her son to go to summer camp I wonder how much of that 4.50 plate will end up paying her cable bill.

You're implying that essential costs for conducting the concert cost something like 92% of total revenue. I don't buy that .

You should quit whole you're ahead. If you believe I implied that, you are really ed in the head. I clearly listed a 84.7% number. If you looked at any links or researched any of this, you would know better.

Stay ignorant and there will be no reason to respond. Get some facts, and we can talk. Till then, stop wasting my time.

But he put his name off over it didn't he you ignorant ? Don't you think he should have checked to see what they were doing before he took that step? Only your stupid ass would say stupid like this. ing parts changer.

Your point?

Do you know what you are talking about, or repeating others propaganda. He doesn't misinform people, and I'm sure he knows the overhead is high:

Since 2003, over $10 million has been raised for the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund through the Freedom Concerts and generous donations from the Sean Hannity Show and its listeners. The Scholarship Fund is designated for the education of children of U.S. service members who have been killed or 100% permanently disabled in an operational mission or training accident. All net proceeds from ticket sales (after musical talent, production, promotion and venue expenses) are donated to the Scholarship Fund, aiding greatly in this effort to assist hundreds of families who have lost their loved ones while they were protecting and defending our nation and our freedoms.

This may seem inconceivable, but some charity concerts are actually performed by volunteers (you know because it's charity).

I believe that's how most USO concerts go. Man, am I thankful for the performers who put those shows on. A lot of them aren't well-known, so they take the time to connect with us during the breaks in their show.

When I was at Al Dhafra, I met a band called Uglystick who came through, and found out they were a band that were relatively local to my home station. (They were in Mobile, I was stationed at Biloxi an hour away.)

So when I heard they were going to a nearby bar, I showed up and said hey to the guys again, and the lead singer was cool enough to bring me on stage and thank me for my service in front of the crowd, talking about how he met me over there. Really badass.

If you want to donate money, donate it to your local USO. They do great things for the troops, 365 days a year.

[LnGrrrR]

WC, I think the point is that if people know that only 8 cents of their dollar was going to the troops, they'd just donate the dollar instead of attending the concert if they were feeling charitable.

[greyforest]

The more I read this horrible subforum the more I think Wild Cobra is paid to spew fascist propaganda :tinfoil:

On the other hand, 62% of the money went to “expenses,” including $979,485 for “consultants” and an “advisor.” Yes, consultant/advisors got more than double what injured troops and the kids of fallen troops got.

[baseline bum]

[WC]
How do you know those consultants and advisors weren't 100% injured troops? You don't; to ASSume any less makes you look like a fool.

Disagree strongly. It's clearly a labor of love.

That's not the intent of the OP, and yes, people can also directly donate without going to a concert.

This is a high rated charity......Charity navigator[/URL] says this:

How can you continue to rail against this, other than to find another reason to be a fanatical fool against conservatives?

But now, as a result of my investigation, Charity Navigator–which many of the smirking apologists for Hannity (most of them as fraudulent as he is and, yes, that includes Fraudkin and Big Follywood) cited–has downgraded Freedom Alliance from a “Four Star” charity, to a “Two Star” charity, meaning it “Needs Improvement” and “Underperforms Most Charities in Its Cause.” And, frankly, even that rating is charitable. As I noted in my piece, Charity Navigator’s original Four Star ranking was baloney.

Oh, and by the way, Freedom Alliance quietly erased all references and links to Charity Navigator from its site, despite using the bogus, now-downgraded rating from the group as a defense for its waste and fraud, just weeks ago. (This was in April of 2010)

[Wild Cobra]

Charity Navigator... has downgraded Freedom Alliance from a “Four Star” charity, to a “Two Star” charity,

Well then something positive may have been achieved. I was surprised to see to see it rated so high myself. That change in rating still doesn't justify the slanderous nature of the OP.

[Wild Cobra]

If you want to call bringing up facts against liberal propaganda that, then what do you call the propaganda?

How many other people linked relevant material?

[Fabbs]

How would you know the expenses since Scammity refuses to reveal them? Yet another sign of a fake charity.

From Schlussels article: "with Hannity and Premiere refusing to disclose the financial records of the concerts."

You've been owned enough in this thread, sellout.
Provide one ounce of proof "the OP", has slanderous nature.

Troll off.

[George Gervin's Afro]

In fairness to the bag hannity I can't fathom the thought of him knowing any of this. Especially when he knows that there are people out there looking to get him... Of course his defense would be that he can't be held at fault when he didn't know... yet in the very next statement he would complain and hold a democrat accountable to something they had no control over...


He's still a dishonest pioece of sh*t.

"Every penny, 100 percent of the donations are applied to the Freedom Alliance scholarship fund," Hannity has claimed.

[Lt. Col. Oliver] North has made similar statements, remarking, "There's no overhead. There's no expenses taken out. Every penny that's donated or that's raised through things like the Freedom Concerts goes to the scholarship fund." (A giant "Thank you! Sean Hannity" currently appears on Freedom Alliance's homepage.)

Wow. Hannity could be setting up a child torture shop and WC would find a way to allow it within his range of moral imperatives, then vehemently assail anyone who disagreed as a liberal sheepherder.

somehow, this phrase is one that would never really fit when describing hannity

Everyone propagandizes his own point of view, you included, using the facts.
