Right. But you suggested that he's a slum lord, and there's nothing there to suggest that. I hope you don't think he's that just because he is an investor in low income housing that he's automatically doing something evil or treating his tenants like dirt. I'm actively investing in low income areas, in part because I want to be a fantastic landlord in parts of town who could use more of them.
Quote:If you had read the piece, you could see it isn't so cut and dried. He profited off foreclosures while trashing Obama about all the foreclosures.
Sorry but I don't see anything wrong with this either. I've never bought a foreclosure home, but I know that they are often cheap but require tens and tens of thousands of dollars in repair. The fact that he trashes Obama at most would make him hypocritical, but even that's a stretch. I mean I can be against the changes in the tax law but at the same time only paying as many taxes as I'm required and not a penny more. Or I can be pro-choice yet have the opinion that I would never have an abortion. Or Hannity can be anti the policies that lead to foreclosures and at the same time invest in them (in fact if Hannity got his way, it would have hurt him financially, which kinda shows there's nothing nefarious there).
Quote:Moreover, getting loans in the area he invested in, his loans are guaranteed under government housing and he made out pretty good under Ben Carson while praising him on TV.
This article says that he started over 10 years ago, so during the beginning of the Obama administration. I don't expect news personalities to not have investments in the things they are reporting on. Otherwise broadcasters couldn't own stocks or many other things.
Rich people have money in a variety of investment vehicles. It doesn't make them automaticlly corrupt or evil.
Now, there are MANY things wrong with Hannity. The least of which is being a repugnant deceitful human being. This slumlord attack you mentioned just seems like a baseless attack (until we hear more).
