Watchdog Group Drops Hannity Charity Rating : Dispatches from the Culture Wars
 
 
In the wake of disturbing revelations first unveiled, in all fairness, by nutter Debbie Schlussel, a major charity watchdog group has dropped its previous four star rating of Freedom Alliance, the Sean Hannity and Oliver North-associated charity that spends very little of its revenue on what it is intended for -- scholarships and financial aid to wounded veterans.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which filed a complaint with the FTC and the IRS over what appears to be a big scam, reports on the news on its blog.

Three charities in ontario lost their tax exempt status with Canada Revenue Agency in the past five years.
There are watchdogs outside of CRA that look into their standings, credibility, but all three charities uncovered  were uncovered by the Toronto Star here in Ontario.
Other provinces have their own "watchdogs"

Silly me, I thought him being from Canada and all, that maybe he might want to talk about that once in a while.

And brain didn't provide a link. Gosh if I didn't know better, I would think he didn't give a shit about the people getting ripped off by the charities and was just looking for another way to take a jab at the us and the right in particular.

Sean's charity espouses conservative causes? Two reactions:

1. Yawn
2. I hope he gets away with it.
