Schlussel's Hannity Smear Debunked
American Spectator ^ | on 3.19.10 @ 6:06PM | By John Tabin

Posted on 03/20/2010 6:39:41 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Tim Mak at FrumForum is debunking each of Debbie Schlussel's allegations against Sean Hannity and Freedom Alliance.

Schlussel has been unreliable in the past, and in retrospect I should have approached her report with more skepticism (the lede sentence on my post this morning -- "This is disgusting" -- should have been something more like "If this is true, it's disgusting"). I apologize to Hannity, and (much more importantly) to our readers.

Freerepublic used to be a place where people demanded proof before jumping on any bandwagon. It's disappointing how many sided with Deb, without checking things out first.

We're becoming as bad as the media, shoot first and question later.

That was a vicious hit job by Deb, I don't understand what has happened to her.

'Debbie Schlussel'
Hmmm? Didn't she used to be somebody?

'series', The little Princess is peed that with our new conservative female 'stars' like Sarahcuda and Michele Bachmann, little Debbie has become irrelevant.

Debbie needs a shopping trip to Bloomingdale's to cheer herself up. /s

Exactly...this is what I mean when I say FR can be an ugly place. I kept calling this story BS and many on FR said Sean really needs to address this NOW! We are in the middle of losing our country as we know it and Sean is working his ass off to get people out there to be a part of the solution, yet many on here were calling him out to address this NOW! If Sean had to address every accusation about him...that’s all he would be doing. Again, PATHETIC!

...I was mildly shocked at how many fellow freeps jumped on the band wagon immediately!...

I imagine there are a lot of liberal "sleeper agents" here on FR.

..."right down to the heavily Photoshopped image on her website.

I don't recall visiting her site, so I had to take a look for myself. Wow, you weren't kidding.

After reading the article and comments here I still have no idea what this is all about. What caused all this?

There has been bad blood for years. I have seen Deb claim that Sean was not crediting her for this or that scoop and I’ll bet she was right on that stuff at least

“Deb remains true to type, she will move on to accusing all those who are pointing out what a whack-job she is of being raging anti-Semites.”

Pretty good trick for the “FrumForum” (a forum restricted to Orthodox Jews) to be anti-semitic!

I don’t listen to Hannity or watch his TV show. I just had to give up all that stress-producing barrage of information after a heart attack 3 years ago, so I don’t listen to or watch anything like that much. Sometimes MSNBC for pure amusement at watching them slobber and froth. I do know personally some of the performers and musicians who have worked with Hannity on these gigs, however. One in particular is a very wise man and good steward of the gifts God has given him. He would NOT be fooled into doing such a thing as donating his talent and time to a fraudulent charity. That’s all I have to go on, but it’s enough for me.

Probably - and kind of naive of me to trust in posters’ committment to the conservative cause...
But this is still my first site to go to for all political info - I go to others afterward - and I love the folks who are “regulars” - sanity in the midst of shear LUNACY!!!!!
Rock on, fellow freepers...

I’m not Sean’s greatest fan- but it was really hard to believe and I was hoping there was no truth to any of her “research”. I’m delighted and relieved.

sean is annoying but i don’t believe he’s dishonest or self-enriching, i don’t doubt his sincerity in supporting the troops. the organization has to rise or fall on it’s own numbers, but Hannity is a DONOR to the charity, not an administrator so her attempting to attack Hannity via Freedom Alliance is misguided.

You are kidding me! Surely that is not Schlussel!
