You may be familiar with the previous diaries on this Freedom Alliance (alleged) scam.
If not, and you want to read how it unfurled these are the links.

But now, as a result of my investigation, Charity Navigator–which many of the smirking apologists for Hannity (most of them as fraudulent as he is and, yes, that includes Fraudkin and Big Follywood) cited–has downgraded Freedom Alliance from a "Four Star" charity, to a "Two Star" charity, meaning it "Needs Improvement" and "Underperforms Most Charities in Its Cause." And, frankly, even that rating is charitable. As I noted in my piece, Charity Navigator’s original Four Star ranking was baloney. It was bogus, and involved a silly, inept number-crunching formula which counted Freedom Alliance’s millions of dollars spent on cronies and consultants as actually going to the intended recipients of the charity. I’m glad that, after my work, Charity Navigator sorta woke up.

** Needs Improvement Meets or nearly meets industry standards but underperforms most charities in its Cause

Back to Schlussel........
And in one, case, Fraudkin’s, it’s the only primetime outlet she has left on FOX News on which to pimp herself, since she’s in a petty woman-scorned feud against Bill O’Reilly (one of her many such petty feuds against myself, Ann Coulter, and many other conservatives to whom she rightfully feels inferior). Fraudkin demanded an apology from me for telling the truth and being able to read a tax form, neither of which, as she’s amply demonstrated, she’s competent to do. I won’t demand an apology here, because none will be forthcoming from these haughty phonies and liars, and even if it did it would be as relevant and important as an ant urinating. (Fraudkin didn’t apologize to the two AIPAC lobbyists she repeatedly attacked in her anti-Israel, anti-Semitic rants. I can’t expect better treatment from the selfish charlatan.)
Oh, and by the way, Freedom Alliance quietly erased all references and links to Charity Navigator from its site, despite using the bogus, now-downgraded rating from the group as a defense for its waste and fraud, just weeks ago.
Debbie Schlussel calls Michele Malkin 'Fraudkin', in case you were wondering.
Fun to see the right wing so loyal and friendly towards each other, no?
Stay tuned for that, as I have a lot more on Hannity, the Freedom Concerts, and the Freedom Alliance coming up. This isn’t going away.
For now, ask yourself: why would anyone give to a charity that even Charity Navigator now says, "NEEDS IMPROVEMENT"?
When reading the comments on Debbie's articles about Hannity, she strongly hints that Hannity has a brewing Tiger type scandal, but I can't possibly comment on that as it is mere gossip.
Very sorry, I have to publish and run soon, dogs to walk for this pro dog walker, have fun.
