Truth to Power

Hannity’s Freedom Concerts a scam

Remember those much touted Freedom Concerts that Sean Hannity and Oliver North bragged raise money for our veterans? Well, it turns out those two “Great Americans” may have some ‘splaining to do. Freedom Alliance, the charity founded by North and the beneficiary of the concerts, just got an “F” rating from the leading watchdog group, American Institute of Philanthropy.

“They know how to work the system, and they seem pretty good at not going over the line, although it is pretty outrageous that so little money is actually winding up benefiting charities,” said Daniel Borochoff, president and founder of the Chicago-based institute.</em>

Yet another example of the “Support Our Troops” rob ‘em blind mentality that all these greasy, chickenhawk scum tout.
