Since first posting my initial story on this breaking scandal two days ago, more information has come to light on the subject while much still remains to be discovered.

It turns out that this is not the first time Freedom Alliance – the military charity whose honorary chairman is Oliver North and whose celebrity cheerleader/promoter is Sean Hannity – has been called out as a suspect organization.

3. Ive got this feeliing, that Fox is going to crash and burn.

Two of their anchors are going on air to tell their types not to do armed insurrection.

[cui bono]

5. What??? eom

[Gman2]

6. Palin was on Beck's show, telling the seperatist group not to start the revolution.

[cui bono]

7. OMG... I saw a clip of her talking about the passage of the bill

and it was nauseating. I didn't see that part though. So now if anything happens she'll say "I tried to stop them but they're so angry. They believe Obama is a socialist and going to ruin the country. I don't know where they got that idea, but I tried to stop them, it's on tape."

And of course she'll absolve Glenn Blech of all responsibility since she did it on his show, so he tried to stop them too.

And then she'll announce their candidacy for 2012, and they'll do a coin toss on air for who's on top of the ticket.

9. When you are done with it, could you send me the script?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

32. Yeah she just tried to insinuate that Obama was a terrorist, not a socialist.

[louis-t]

34. Naw, they'll throw her under the bus.

They won't listen to her. They won't let go of their hatred and fear easily. When one of the new McVeighs does something stupid, it will calm a lot of them as it did after the Oklahoma City bombing.

[awoke_in_2003]

57. did she follow that with a

wink wink, nod nod?

[Mojeoux]

58. Call Fox Sponsors!

First of all, you've got to watch Fox with the sound turned off.

Then collect as many of the 800 numbers flashed on the screen from the sponsors and call them up.

Tell them you will never buy their fine product as long as their ads support the racist, sexist, and fascist people on Fox.

Explain, if necessary, what those terms mean and how they are unhealthy for our democracy.

The longer they talk and make no sale, the more their business is disrupted.



The First Amendment works both ways and money talks.

4. something involving Oliver North is suspect?

Oh Nooooeeesss !!!


What are the odds?

[unhappycamper]

13. 100% n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. teh odd, not "the odds."

Small difference, but important.

12. No surprise, HCR is more important than this asshat.

I'd still love to see how smug he could be while trying to explain himself.

[rucky]

14. Still, they manage to cover Sandra Bullock's marriage.

:shrug:

[shotten99]

20. Sad, isn't it? Priorities....

[Ken Burch]

60. If there were only some way we could prove that Jesse James had a quicky with Hannity...

...On the Gulfstream jet...

[KharmaTrain]

15. I Expect More...

Hannity claims that the money raised is for "seeding" scholarships...for the kids of wounded vets who won't be going to college for another 10 to 15 years (yeah right)...as if his "charity" is an endowment rather than giving out direct grants and cash. But those tax records are damning...and it's not just one year but 4 years running. Seanny still hasn't explained the high "administrative" expenses (like the Gulfstream jet) or the low payouts (some are outright insults) to wounded vets.

This dude is skating on some thin ice...reading the Freeper comments, he's not one of their favorites and this attack from his flank is sure to leave a mark. It's one thing to huckster for "cash for gold" or some other scam...but using veterans to feather's one nest is downright stupid, but then Hannity is no Nobel Lauriate. Many still have questions and Hannity can try to hide but I suspect this issue will not be going away anytime soon.

[Jackpine Radical]

27. Why is using veterans stupid?

People have been using the modern generation of veterans ever since they talked them into enlisting.

[Georgia farmer]

35. i expect more

Kharma, where can I find the info you cite? Seems like good reading, should be spread around.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

16. Right wing media suppressing the story?

This should be news,but all I am hearing today are right wing whiners. Oh and the death of acorn.

[pleah]

18. K&R

[spanone]

19. k&r....

[cbdo2007]

21. The first story wasn't even showing on the first GD page within a day of posting...

it had faded off into oblivion.

Nobody cares apparently, though this could be a big boost to pointing out Fox News and all their hacks as all scam artists.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

22. Maybe there isn't a lot of compassion for the scamees?

:shrug:

[cbdo2007]

26. we're all "scamees" of his every day he's on the air lying and

spreading his hate around.

[pundaint]

33. If we wont prosecute war criminals what's a little theft. Laws are for the poor folks and

Democratic Democrats.

[formercia]

23. Hannity is part of the problem.

Hannity's connection to Oliver North and his gang of right wing reactionaries runs a lot deeper than what might first appear.

[demtenjeep]

66. Too True

very much

[The Genealogist]

24. K&R

[progressoid]

25. He'll get away with it. Maybe a couple bruises but nothing serious will happen to him

He has plenty of outs in this scandal.

"It was bad management", "I wasn't aware of their mistakes", "I'm sorry Lt. North and I endorsed this organization. We had no idea" etc. etc. etc.

[Historic NY]

28. lets bring it to the top K&R

[Zambero]

29. Who had his hand in the cookie jar?

SEAN had his hand in the cookie jar!

:hide:

[garybeck]

30. Last New Years Eve, I heard a psychic on the radio making predictions for 2010 and one was....

that Sean Hannity would be involved in some kind of scandal.

[1776Forever]

31. Sent this to Ed Schultz and he said he didn't know what he could do about it.

I told him just by mentioning it this keeps it going! How in the H do these hypocritical bastards like Hannity and North get away with this crap? And the worse part of it is the people who gave them money aren't out there bitching about it! I know I would be and I sure as hell think what they did, if it is proven they did it, should be prosecuted to the umpth degree!

Makes me:puke:

[demtenjeep]

43. HE is going to talk about it COMING UP today

in the next few minutes

[BrklynLiberal]

36. Hannity is another person very deserving of some sort of scandal...

Arrogance and hubris just beg for a fall.....

[divvy]

37. Ollie and Bush Sr. were among the worlds largest heroine dealers

You don't finance a covert war by selling nickle bags of pot.

[Yavin4]

38. I Know, We Should Dress Someone Up As Pimp and Go Undercover at Freedom Alliance

Maybe then Fox News and the NYT will cover it.

[Dramarama]

41. Haha

42. K & R -- Nice piece.

[malaise]

44. Ed Shultz about to discuss this n/t

[demtenjeep]

45. yes he is!

should be good

[veganlush]

46. Sean Hannity is like a goddam disease...

...even the freepers are starting to see through....I got rugs that don't lie like that guy..

[demtenjeep]

47. Hannity says "he hasn't taken a dime" but what he is NOT saying is that others are paying for his

travel expenses.

While he may not be "pocketing" a dime, the money that good people think they are donating towards fallen soldiers families is going towards his expenses.

[SpiralHawk]

48. Typical Republicon rip-off artistes

Shame

[alp227]

49. OLIVER NORTH leading a charity?!

The same Oliver North who illegally sold weapons to Iran and diverted profits to the Nicaraguan contras? Who once said "over the years Manuel Noriega in Panama and I have developed a fairly good relationship"? Who shredded Iran/Contra documents?

I wonder how he even got to be an "honorary chairman" of a charity. I notice some similarities between Iran/Contra and this "Freedom Alliance" thing. Freedom Alliance gobbled up most of the money and donated just pennies to military families.

[ccharles000]

[beac]

51. K&R. Hannity needs to go down for this! n/t

[Jack Sprat]

52. Say no more.

Oliver North's name appears and I know some kind of illegality is in the works.

[upi402]

53. but Biden's F-bomb is all over... even MSNBC!

corporate whore much, US media?

[demtenjeep]

54. like none of them have ever used the F-bomb? Please they all were after sun night

hehe

[upi402]

55. Dick Cheney in the well of the Senate

IIRC... but in anger, and to intimidate. Republicans have zero credibility outside their sick family politic.

[demtenjeep]

56. yea, apparently they can use it when they are mad

but no one else did


they all suck

[Rozlee]

61. Is the F-word better or worse than the N-word?

Sheesh.

[demtenjeep]

62. you tell me?

I have used the F word once in a while

I have NEVER used the N word

[upi402]

65. uh MUCH less abusive - even how Cheney said it

:argh:

[liberation]

59. So when is that Hannity piece of shit getting water boarded?

Maybe he can tell us where he stuffed the millions he swindled from these "charities."

[demtenjeep]

63. haha

like that will happen
