Sean Hannity and Ollie North accused of scamming Veterans

Let me make this clear for new readers. I am no fan of Hannity or North. The reason is simple. While both have made it their common claim of "supporting the troops" neither of them spoke up when it could have helped the troops and our veterans about the wait time for a claim to be approved, for their wounds to be taken care of or anything else, up to and including when the reports came out about Walter Reed, they seemed more angry over the reporters instead of what the reporters exposed. That's the biggest problem of all. When anyone claims to support the troops and our veterans, they need to speak out when they are not being taken care of properly no matter who is in charge. It should never, ever, matter if they voted for them or not. People expected so much more out of the people over at FOX cable news.

That said, Hannity is not a stupid man. He's a man with an agenda, that's for sure but he isn't stupid and I do believe he cares about the troops. Is he hyping the amount of money given to the families of the fallen? Perhaps, but let's wait and see what happens as evidence comes out instead of jumping to conclusions.

In line with our article on those non-profit organizations that do provide a service to our Veterans and ‘Support Our Troops’ as was covered in my previous article Do All Non-Profits really Support Veterans, Troops, and Military Families?

We will be exposing reports of fraudulent efforts and causes that scam our Veterans and Troops. We are also working on getting the latest ratings of organizations that provide services or support to our Veterans and Troops from the American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP) that has reportedly just released its latest ratings for April-May 2010.

Joe Conason at Salon reports that Sean Hannity and Ollie North say they collect millions of dollars for veterans’ kids. But where did the money go?
