HANNITY'S OTHER SCAM

(h/t NewsHounds)

Sean Hannity makes a great show of supporting the troops and is a big supporter of Freedom Alliance (FA). His "Freedom Concerts" give their proceeds to that group and FA received a failing grade from The American Institute of Philanthropy(AIP). AIP uses these criteria:

AIP believes that a charity should spend at least 60 percent of its cash budget on bonafide charitable programs (35 percent or less receives an F and 75 percent or more receive an A), should spend less than $35 to raise $100 ($60 or more receives an F and $15 or less receives an A) and should not maintain over three years of available assets in reserves (over five years receives an F).

According to the AIP's recent report, as reported in the WaPo:

The 12 charities rated as failing by the institute -- including the Military Order of the Purple Heart Service Foundation, the AMVETS National Service Foundation and the Freedom Alliance -- collected at least $266 million in the past fiscal year.
