Ed Schultz, Melanie Sloan and Jon Soltz on Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concert (alleged) Scam.

A pretty full discussion of the issues. Have Hannity & North been involved in deceptive marketing? Or have they just been unfortunate with some of the words they’ve said on air?

Electric Avenue in Brixton isn’t the safest place in London after dark… Not for these steel-balled mofo’s tho. A salute to those brave men and women who fight our wars for us.

Jon Soltz, the Chair of VoteVets.org said, “If not every dime is going to those who wore the uniform, then people have the right to know that. It really is that simple. There are many wonderful charities to help troops and veterans that are completely transparent and truthful about where their donations go. If Sean Hannity and Freedom Alliance are being untruthful, that hurts all those other charities, because it only causes people to hold back donations to worthy causes in the future. We need to get to the bottom of this, quickly, and the FTC and IRS must take any corrective action that’s deemed necessary.”

Sean Hannity: “Every penny, 100 percent of the donations are applied to the Freedom Alliance scholarship fund.”

Lt. Col. North: “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.”

Oops.

“There is little more despicable than preying upon the generosity of Americans by deceiving them into believing they are aiding the children of killed and wounded service members when the truth is most of the money is going to a for-profit venture… Americans deserve to know whether this high-profile charity allegedly dedicated to helping veterans and their families is really doing what it says it is.” Sucks to be Sean Hannity today…
