Like we said, Hannity Freedom Concerts: Scam

Hannity Freedom Concerts A ‘Scam,’ Blogger Says

Conservative blogger Debbie Schlussel has accused Sean Hannity’s Freedom Alliance charity of unethical fundraising practices and use of money. Schlussel points out how less than four percent of Freedom Alliance’s earnings in 2006 went to the nonprofit’s listed causes – college funding for the children of fallen soldiers and care for wounded veterans.

Media Matters For America points out the accuracy of Schlussel’s numbers analysis, but withholds judgment on the validity of her claims, as Freedom Alliance does not openly state on its Web site the percentage of raised funds that will go to their specific programs. Nevertheless, Freedom Alliance may be hurt by Schlussel’s accusations that tens of thousands of dollars were spent on private planes for Hannity’s family and friends.</em>
