Hannity's "Investigation" of MoveOn.org Falls Flat
All last week Sean Hannity proclaimed that he would reveal shocking new information about MoveOn.org during the September 23rd edition of Hannity's America. Well, once again, Hannity proved to be full of hot air. His "investigative report" turned out to be nothing more than a rehash of dog-eared right-wing canards, innuendo and personal opinion, all tossed together with no documentation in a segment that drew what little power it had from Hannity's tone of voice and the "interesting" placement of video clips. It was clearly designed to inflame rather than educate - some of it actually offered opportunities for humor - and, as such, it was just another in a long line of typical "all hat and no cattle" Sean Hannity hit pieces. So, I had a little fun with my iMovie program last night and embedded my commentary in the video below. Hope you like it! : )

4. Maybe Moveon.org should do an investigation on Hannity

2006 Numbers for Hannity's Freedom alliance
Statement of Functional Expenses-2006 (certain examples on 990 Form page 2) The 990 Report is 30 pages long.
$14,503,615 Net assets or fund balances at end of year:
$306,500 Scholarship Grants
$ 97,400 Grants and Contributions
$1,414,215 Printing and publications
$641,411 Consultations

Most of the money goes elsewhere. Only a small portion goes to the vets. They spend more on postage than they do the vets.
