CINCINNATI — An Ohio tea party group says it will offer refunds after Fox News host Sean Hannity canceled an appearance at its Tax Day rally.

The Cincinnati Tea Party said in a statement Friday that it will set up a special e-mail address to handle refund requests.

The group says nearly 10,000 people turned out Thursday evening for the rally along with a planned Hannity book-signing and taping of his television show at the University of Cincinnati basketball arena.

Fox News says Hannity's appearance was canceled over admission fees. The network says the group was trying to profit from Hannity.

2. No GOP, no Tea Party.

When the GOP isn't organizing for them, no one is.

3. A tea party event that taxed people to attend?

Organizers say the fees, which started at $5, were only to help cover costs of the event for the movement opposing big government and high taxes.

4. but I thought profit-seeking was the highest thing we could do?

Isn't that what drives the right wing? Suddenly one part doesn't want the other to profit from its 'resources' despite both being in bed together.

10. Solid undenyable proof

that Fox news is a GOP puppet. I never thought they had the tentacles to make something like that happen. I thought that Fox was just catering to the conservative portion of the population for ratings. Evidently, I was wrong.
