Anthony Weiner’s AAA Rated Attack on Beck and Goldline: Amateur, Arrogant and Asinine
by Andrew MellonAnthony Weiner honed his political craft working for New York Senator Charles Schumer, and it shows in his recent attack on Glenn Beck and his sponsor Goldline.
Weiner and his comrades’ views are well reflected when he says in his Goldline Report:
…during troubling economic times it seems there is always someone ready to take advantage of the situation and profit from people’s fears.
In the past there is always the “product” that is either the next big thing (the dot com boom) or the investment that will never go down in price (the housing market), and in the past much of the media has failed in its duty to conduct due diligence, but never before have they worked so hand in hand to cheat consumers. Commentators like Glenn Beck who are shilling for Goldline are either the worst financial advisors around or knowingly lying to their loyal viewers.
Goldline’s high pressure sales tactics and fear mongering about big government as well as their ability to hire sales staff and spokespeople who misrepresent their roles are case studies in why entities like the SEC and FTC are necessary.
Of course, it is the unscrupulous businessmen and their shills in the media who are preying on people’s fears to make a buck. Guess what Mr. Weiner? It is because people like you are running our nation that is precisely why people are turning to gold, and precisely why places like Goldline can charge a premium.
You see, the reverse is true when it comes to your argument that because of the sales representatives at Goldline who “misrepresent their roles,” the SEC and FTC are necessary entities. We need gold and thus gold salesmen because agencies like the SEC and FTC, along with you and your colleagues in Congress and over at the Fed help sanction and blow the very bubbles that you speak to and debase our currency, stealthily taxing us and leading us on a path to monetary and fiscal collapse. It is because of your “consumer protections,” that consumers are made unsafe. It is because of your regulations that we have distorted markets and the moral hazard that encourages imprudent risk-taking.
So can you blame people for clamoring to store their wealth in an asset that holds its value when you create such unrest, that cannot be printed and is not so easily subject to your will? When markets crash, causing you to blame the evil shortsellers (yet curiously you never blame those who push the markets up to unjustified levels) gold-buying is the natural reaction of speculators and investors who have discovered that the artificially high prices in stocks or houses are just that – artificial, thanks to folks in Washington who enable folks on Wall Street.
And by the way, I am curious as to why you have been so quiet on GE’s advertising of their green products on NBC’s networks after the typical global warming fear-mongering that goes on on their editorial and “news” programs.
And when we find out that:
In addition, Congressman Weiner is proposing legislation to protect consumers by requiring full disclosure of:
a. Hidden fees.
b. Purchase price/Melt value/Resale value.
c. How much the cost of gold will need to rise in the value for the customers’
investment to be profitable.
This is equally breathtaking. Even if you actually believed that enlightened bureaucrats cared about “protecting” the hapless consumer, on each point your argument is nonsensical.
How can the fees be hidden if you are announcing that there are hidden fees? Surely, others besides you and your staffers must be aware of them. Further, if there are these hidden fees, why wouldn’t Goldline’s customers shift to other dealers who sold gold with less onerous terms?
If the purchase price versus melt/resale value means that the company makes a big spread, are customers incapable of looking at such complex exchanges as Ebay to find comparable pricing? Should Goldline be punished for their large profit margin if customers are willing to pay such a price? Do you think that the average gold buyer does not consider price shopping? I certainly doubt that it is the simple subprime home borrower investing in gold coins.
And as for making a profitable investment, while certainly there are traders that buy and flip paper gold, generally gold coins are purchased as a store of value – as they rise in price in proportion to the debasement of a dollar, prompted again by the central planner’s in chief over at the “quasi-public” Federal Reserve. And do you really need to tell a buyer how much the price of gold needs to rise for his investment to be profitable? Do you need to tell a drinker how many beers he has to drink before he gets drunk? Do you need to tell a smoker how many cigarettes he needs to smoke before his lungs are full of tar? In your world I suppose you do, but in the real world people are actually able to think and do things for themselves, or at least they were before you and your “progressive” friends spent the last hundred years coddling people with purported goodies like housing, health and retirement to recuse them from taking responsibility for themselves.
When Weiner says that Goldline “grossly overcharges for their coins,” he misses the fundamental point that this is why you have competition in markets – competition forces companies to drive prices down. And frankly it doesn’t matter whether or not people are overpaying because the great thing about America is that you have the freedom to be stupid.
Here is a hypothetical for Rep. Weiner on market stupidity. If one supermarket is “price gouging” by selling milk at $10 a gallon, and another undercutting the competition by selling at $1, but people still continue to frequent each supermarket, would Weiner feel a need to call out the gouger and the undercutter to “protect” some consumers from overpaying, and other companies from being hurt by the “anti-competitive practices” of one of their competitors? Or is it only so with gold? Actually, perhaps that question is better left unanswered.
Either way, the beauty of markets that Weiner fails to acknowledge is that they allow individuals, not bureaucrats like him to control the game by voting with their feet, leading to the decentralized coordination of infinite human interactions, which means that the supermarkets would inevitably have to charge the same price for milk somewhere between $1 and $10. If they didn’t, the supermarket charging the cheaper price would drive the other one out of business, and the assets of the failed business would be purchased by more competent managers to the benefit of the whole economy.
Most importantly, consumers are individuals who in free markets remain sovereign, but this sovereignty is violated when politicians get in the way of consumers’ voluntary decisions. When you regulate people’s decision-making, you regulate their very being. You violate their freedom to think and to act in ways that they deem beneficial as individuals, which at the aggregate level benefits us all. Meanwhile, while Weiner and friends try to protect us from ourselves, they neglect to recognize our true enemies, failing at their single most important job which is to protect us from others.
Perhaps most scary is the following statement on the matter from Mr. Weiner in the New York Observer:
“The focus of my report was not primarily [Mr. Beck's] show. I haven’t called for him to be shut down, I haven’t called for him to be sanctioned. He’s got to live with himself,” Mr. Weiner said.”
It is downright chilling that a politician would have the audacity to even consider the notion of shutting Beck down or having him sanctioned. That Anthony Weiner would insinuate this should give us great pause. Of course why ignore an opponent when you can threaten him by noting that the thought crossed your mind of censoring him, and in characteristic Alinsky fashion put him down with the potshot that Beck has to live with himself. Beck should respond: “How do you live with yourself Mr. Weiner?”
Weiner goes on in his report to quote a bunch of conservative commentators who have pushed gold, sponsored by Goldline, and one wonders – how thin-skinned is this man? Why is he so concerned about television commentators while Rome is burning? How egotistical can he be to go on a crusade against people actively trying to help their viewers, and even if they had unseemly reasons for doing so which I do not believe to be the case, why is it his job to crucify them? People can make decisions for themselves. When you take that decision-making mechanism away, you get stagnancy, dependency and serfdom. Exactly what Weiner and all of his progressive friends apparently want, not because they care about the people but because of their base lust to be the people’s masters.
Weiner’s smarminess, ad hominem attacks and lack of substance, so representative of today’s leftists continued on the O’Reilly Factor, the mind-numbingness of which can be found for your viewing displeasure below:

His next target is Al Gore, right? Yeah, thought so.
I mean, its not like Gore is telling everyone that the earth is going to die, we are causing it, we need cap and tax to fix it… and he's definitely not in line to make millions of dollars if all those things happen… nope, none of that is going on.
Are you kidding me? Any adult with half a brain knows that businesses have overhead and must pay for it somehow through markup. Goldline is no different, except it has a spokesman in Beck who exposes leftist tools like Mr. Weiner for the ideological weenies they are.
Believe it or not, Mr. Weiner, most companies want to pay their own way in this world, not rely on government bailouts to save their butts.
This is one politician who should have changed his name before running for office – a weiner named Weiner is just too easy…….
Weiner is your typical liberal dirt bag in every sense of the word. He has been in congress long enough to pad more than his pockets with his constituents money; I wonder what it will take to defeat morons like this.
I suppose this is the Left's equivalent of rolling out the attack dogs. "Let loose the attack Weiner dog!"
As usual, O'Reiley did not slap this little weasel nearly hard enough. At least fate conspired to give the Weiner a fitting moniker. The irony is exquisite!
"The attack Weiner dog."
So good I just had to retype it.
I could be wrong but is his name "Weiner" or "Whiner"?
Wouldn't it be nice to see Weiner retired this fall due to ill health, ie the voters got sick of him ?
Can we sue Chairman O, Nanny Piglosi, Harry "The Hand", the WEINER, Al "Ambulance Chaser" Sharpton, Jesse "the race baiter" Jackson, Jim "Rasputin" Wallis and John "Calypso Louie Jr." Lewis for systematically scaring people into spending FOUR TRILLION BUCKS on socialist pie in the sky crap while demonizing private citizens with THE SMEAR OF RACISM to deliberately frighten them away from the TEA Party..?
Hot dogs anyone…!?
Weiner quote "…during troubling economic times it seems there is always someone ready to take advantage of the situation and profit from people’s fears."
He just described the entire Democrat agenda in one sentence. So if Goldine is bad for doing it……
Garlic, a cross, and a sharp wooden stake usually work on a blood sucker.
People are smart to buy gold and silver, but should have started the moment Obamer was elected. We knew what was coming. Most just ignored it.
Both work for me. Same sound.
Pathetic…
A government representative attacking a legal, private, US company and Beck… A government representative attempting to negatively affect the earnings of said company and Beck. Further examples that the current administration is against ALL OF US!
Didn't the beef industry win a settlement over Oprah's statement about eating Beef. Beef industry claimed her statement threatened beef sales and had a negative affect on beef sales. Wouldn't the same apply in this situation???? I see no difference.
Thank you for the laughter, as they say if I don't laugh I'm going to cry.
Andrew Mellon– I think you're cutting too many classes and missing out on your education, if this article is any indication. You're suggesting, I think, that savvy investors go to Goldline to pay over $3000 for a 1-oz. gold coin with a resale value of about $1200. Do you consider that savvy? You said you doubt that gold coin investors aren't simple subprime home borrowers. Based on what? The fact that they think Glenn Beck is some sort of truth-teller? Flip paper gold? What does that even mean?
Anthony is a Weiner. What more can you say. When are we going to wake up and demand that abuses of power be investigated, prosecuted and punished (severely to make people think twice before they do it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UtmTALMkU4
BTW – It's a funny twist of fate when A. Little Weiner found out that Goldline is a highly rated company by the Better Business Bureau.
Unfortunately those scum sucking pigs in congress are immune to litigation for the asinine statements they make. Just one other thing that needs to change.
“The focus of my report was not primarily [Mr. Beck's] show. I haven’t called for him to be shut down, I haven’t called for him to be sanctioned. He’s got to live with himself,” Mr. Weiner said.”
Where was Weeny when gas was $4+ a gallon, this personal assassination attempt is pure"I hate Glenn Beck" .
You know how it works………..they are so frightened of Glenn because he doesn't back down, just keeps telling the truth (something dems know nothing about). They couldn't shut him down by boycotting, so this is their next "try"…….good luck!
If you don't know what it means, then the rest of your comment is likely based on the same lack of understanding of commodities.
You left out BO and his chance to earn millions with his ties to the Chicago Carbon scam. Without the legislation though, this trash doesn't rake in the billions for even the useless nations, who seems to be a major player.
The gold coins are historic collectibles, like stamps, paintings and old record albums ect… Do we need the value of the canvas of a painting after the paint is stripped off of the canvas? Do we need the value of an old record after the music has been removed from the disk and the dis melted down?
Godline also sells bullion, where the melt value would actually be noteworthy as the only value. Weiner is talking about the markup off the collectible coins, coins that hold much of their value in a down gold market due to the historical worth and the are work……I think I will buy a hundred dollars worth of coins to show my support of free speech.
http://www.goldline.com/goldcoinsbullion
He sounds like the typical bully thug! I can't wait to see him and Beck on the Factor…:)
What a d!ck… I mean weiner.
Whiner the weiner attack dog, is a dim in NY. Little chance he will be replaced. Seems NY loves its whiner weiners.
A weiner by any other name, still smells as rank.
Let the buyer be wary. Only a stupid person would buy gold at above market prices. That being said, we don't need an agenda driven congressional fool to be the one raising the warning, yet failing to have the decency to apply that same logic to EVERYTHING his party has done since the evil witch of the west glommed onto the big hammer.
"The focus of my report was not primarily [Mr. Beck's] show. I haven’t called for him to be shut down, I haven’t called for him to be sanctioned. He’s got to live with himself,” Mr. Weiner said.
The fact that you think these sorts of things are within any part of your purview, discredits and discounts anything else you're trying to accomplish, in this matter. (Not to mention, downright scary) And, I don't think [Mr. Beck's] main concern is, in him having to live with himself. I think he, as well as the rest of us…are pretty bummed about having to live with YOU.
This attack by Weiner was the reason I went and bought gold. I figure he's wrong about everything, so it's almost a sure bet.
This is not the time you should be buying gold. It's time to sell and do a little profit taking. Wait until 2015 and you will be able to buy back in at $700 or $800 dollars. Gold is a hedge investment, but you don't buy in as it approaches its all-time high. I don't care how scared Goldline tries to make you.
That's right, that's the only agenda they have. As proof; if they had an agenda other than acquisition of power, they'd have a consistent message and value system. Their Party is full of inconstancies. Take their "support" of unions for example. They accept money from the unions and then slap them in the face with their stance on immigration. They just want an open border so that the illegal's can take unions jobs. Go figure!
It's scary — a guy like Weiner who never worked a day in his life off the public dole– is "protecting" us from Goldline (who just happens to be a Beck sponsor). This DICK started his career working for UpChuck Schumer and has been subverting America ever since.
I believe they are fishing, so they sent Weiner in. They, his commanders of socialistic agenda, told him to go after Beck. It could be one, to distract, so they can achieve something else. To get Beck off his game, or to see who bites so they can push their socialistic agenda. They want to see if we will fight or accept, maybe gain more for their cause. create the divide. Nothing is as simple with these progressives. Not when you see what they have created in their buddy, buddy system. See Beck for all their Crime. Inc.
[...] [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] [...]
Weiner is Chuck Schumer's shill. He's Chuckie Lite. In fact, I think he lives in Chuckie's nose. If you look closely, you can see his little shoes in Chuckie's nostril.
"When markets crash, causing you to blame the evil shortsellers (yet curiously you never blame those who push the markets up to unjustified levels) gold-buying is the natural reaction of speculators and investors who have discovered that the artificially high prices in stocks or houses are just that – artificial, thanks to folks in Washington who enable folks on Wall Street."
This one's easy: When Washington blows bubbles, capital-gains tax receipts grow apace. As soon as markets decline and people lose money, government faces a double whammy: It loses said revenue and gains a big liability thanks to capital losses and the associated tax deduction which, if an individual's or couple's loss is large enough, can 1) count against as much as $3k of ordinary income and 2) go on for many years. For another thing, it's much easier to sell/exchange/transfer physical assets such as gold informally — that is, without any paper trail — than it is to do so with financial assets like stocks, bonds or futures.
There are two more subtle aspects to this:
• That every gold sale is yet another no-confidence vote on the dollar's future surely must rankle the Regressives in power.
• Anthony the Dick also betrayed what is probably a long-term Regressive strategy of peeling away Mr. Beck's sponsors one by one and, ultimately, destroying Fox News. Don't you just love it when commentators p*ss off neo-Socialists to this extent?
I think there more be more play in gold. I'm poor, so can't buy, but I would continue to ~$1,500. Think it might hit the $2000 mark easily if nothing is seriously done about the debt in the next few years.
Just a thought, remember I'm poor
his nickname is little
All you really need to know about Weiner is his statements this week regarding Social Security, and how it is solvent, and how SS has 2.5 trillion in safe assets…
The man is a complete idiot. Schumer, Jr.
I agree. They are both schmucks.
It looks to me like an attempt at a "left"-handed boycott.
I read his paper, and it really does not explain his stance. An American Eagle Gold coin MS 69 will differ in worth depending on year, yet he does not state the year, and if he compared it to the same year. From Google at 11:40 CT 5/26, Look:
2001 American Eagle Gold Coin Set Ngc Ms69 Rare Coins
$2,775.00 used – eBay
1987 $50 PCGS MS 69 American Gold Eagle (1 oz)
$1,999.99 new – SouthernNumismatics.com
Can I say that the e-bay price is unfair compared to SouthernNumismatics.com? Not enough info, the 1987 might be common and the 2001 might be rare. Also, both are much higher than the current gold spot price. Also, NGC and PCGS grading is worth more than other grading services.
Gold's value is more constant than the dollar's value. Only buy gold if you are sure (as many are) that the US Government will use inflation in whole or in part to service the debt.
C'mon now, it's childish to make fun of a persons name. This guy's just a D!CK.
Smears, lies and diversionary tactics. All done to throw people off the trail of what is really going on. AZZwipe of the highest order and all part of the obama machine.
IMO I wouldn't buy gold anyway, ever. You can't eat it, drink it, or anything else with it. I'd buy seeds though, a person can get farther with a food supply then they ever could with a gold supply. JMO of course.
This is an example how someone shouldn't comment on something they don't understand. You seem to be the kind of person who likes to talk more than he likes to listen, so listen up.
A gold collectible coin, such as a pre-1933 double eagle, can have a collectible value far in excess of it's melt value. People who know what they're doing might find that $3000 for a collectible coin is a good deal depending on the denomination, year, and condition.
Just like anything else, you have to know what you're doing. Just like you have to know what you're talking about.
Before he became a congressman, (and unfortunately my congressman), Weenie was an aide to Schmucky Schumer and took over his seat when Schmuck became Senator.
Imagine the nerve of this weiner (small w ) accusing the better buisinees bureau of being in league with Goldline .
These democrats and repulocrats are going right along with the poser and his crime syndicate and thus are guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
America is starting to wake up and this bunch are running scared.
We are coming for you.
I can't watch O'Reilly anymore. My 12 yr. old could more insightfully cross examine a guest.
And Obamacare can''t fix that! LOL.
Perhaps that's true, but if the writer is in fact referring to exchange-traded funds holding gold deposits as the vehicles that some folks "flip", then I think that's also a flawed reason to purchase collectible gold coins as an investment (also because said coins are a terrible investment). As far as buying the metal for it's actual value (coins or bars), I'm still not sure why you'd pay almost three times the value for anything. If you disagree, I've got plenty of stuff for you to buy.
I like mine with mustard, onions, and relish!
And as for me, I am not afraid of their smears …
I'm calling bull on this comment. That's not what goldline is purporting to sell, and you know it. They're selling fear, a run on the bank, and economic collapse. Gold can provide stored value in extreme economic circumstances. Try to sell your Jeter rookie card, your Beanie Babies, and your "collectible coins" in that environment (again, that environment is what's being used as the catalyst for these "investments"). You'll be eating cat food and living in a cardboard box. So, not much different from now.
I disagree. Gold is in a bubble now. Bubbles go on for longer than you can imagine. Inflation adjusted it is still below high from 1980s. It will go much higher as more sovereign debt skeletons fall out of closet and Iran goes nuclear and Mexico implodes, or Jamaica or a Times Square bomb actually goes off. There will be a time to take profits, but I don't see much driving gold down, even if we hit a deflationary patch due to unstable world. IMHO.
The smears alone wouldn't have any teeth if they weren't coming from the halls of power and if they weren't such a blatant abuse of official power.
Weiner is WAY OFF BASE with this coordinated assault on free speech and so is Gibbs for his scolding of reporters that he "deems" are "asking too many questions" that "he and Chairman O" don't approve of!
Pure Politics, Wennie does not like Beck, pure and simple!
BTW…
FREE SPEECH IS DEAD! SOCIALIST DICTATORSHIP IS ALIVE!
Please go Sign FREE Petition 2 Stop Kagan's Nomination

Weiner's either an idiot or a liar and is probably both.
He's trying to confuse people by making a comparison between bullion coins, such as American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, Krugs, etc., with collectible coins like the St. Gaudens. Of course, there's going to be a difference. Because one is readily available and the other isn't.
BTW, be very careful buying any coins on eBay. DYODD – Do Your Own Due Diligence
I think Beck ought to offer himself up to full Congressional investiagtion IF Weiner will investigate the fraud in Social Security, the "jobs saved or created representations", was Sestak offered a job to bow out of primary, the representations of transparency in helathcare debate and how all the government estimates of costs have already been determined to be wildly understated, the Shorebank bailout, the expedited review of BP's drilling, selling Obama' s Senate seat, the bailout of union pension funds as a payback, what and when the White House knew about SEIU thuggery in St. Louis and DC. I could go on, but I am exhausted. I'll take Beck over a two bit Chicago politician any day. Please, let's have investigations of fraud……
A risky gamble given the Fed's independent authority to set interest rates and manipulate the money supply. As for the value of gold, it is a commodity and not a currency. It's value is based on supply and demand, which means that in six months it might be worth $800, if history is any guide.
No genius, they sell gold which provides stored value in every economic circumstance.
That's perfectly sensible if you're of little means. But if you've got wealth you're trying to preserve, gold makes sense, after you've stocked up on bullets and beans.
And guess who holds TONS of gold??? ready for it??!!
piggy soros and john paulsen – gee, ya think it's a bad time to get gold??
pathetic and juvenile is what wiener is – along with being a media whore – seems to run rampant in NY, think schumer and hill the pill
Great point Missy, as usual
We have woken up to the abuses of power, unfortunately we can't do a damn thing about it!
And weiner had to impune the BBB by claiming they can be bought – waiting for proof of that claim, should be interesting.
Why do progressive politicians dislike gold? Because it represents a store of wealth, independence from the state, something they cannot debase or inflate away to force you in to submission.
Regarding Goldline: they sell both standard gold bullion and rare numismatic coins. The reason why they sell these rare coins is a direct result of what the Progressives did in 1933, they confiscated Gold. In 1933 rare numismatic coins were not subject to this confiscation. These old coins are more rare and as such carry a price premium so they can not be compared to standard bullion. Mr. Weiner can thank his predecessors from 1933 as to why Goldline sells numismatic coins with a high markup that would not be subject to confiscation.
So you're trying to change the subject.
I don't deal with Goldline so I don't know what they tell people and neither do you. You just take Weiner's word for it. I can see that they emphasize collectibles so if you want play that game you better know what you're doing. I don't buy for other people's reasons. I buy for my own reasons and other people buy for their's.
To get back to your original comment. To say that a collectible coin is worth nothing more than it's melt value is nonsense.
May I ask Mr. Weiner if he has a problem with Gold?
Does it bother progressives that there is a possibility of millions of middle class Americans owning a few years worth of living expenses in gold? Does it foil their plans if everyone is not on their knees begging for food stamps and housing assistance?
How does the Federal Reserve and the banking cartel feel about Gold compared to the digital account balances they create with fractional reserve banking?
Hmm I wonder if part of this attack on gold has something to do with how Socialism is falling appart in Europe and the Europeans are flocking to gold in record numbers? The Austrian mint can not keep up with demand. When citizens flock to gold it means there is a lack of confidence in the paper currency which is backed by nothing. Statists do not like such independent activity, they want everyone to be equally subject to their plans. The politicians in Europe do not like their citizens owning gold, it undermines their plans for the Euro and a federally unified Europe.
send you wisdom to soros mikadip, he buying TONS of the stuff -
So Mr Weiner are the Germans flocking to gold in record numbers because of Glen Beck & Goldline? Or is it because they are losing confidence in the politicians and the paper currencies and do not want Weimar Republic part 2?
Mr. Weiner, I can only pray that gold drops to $400 an oz for this would mean the fiscal crisis has been abated, million of private sector jobs added, spending reduced significantly, countless gov agencies shut down or gutted, switching public sector unions to 401k plans from pensions, welfare reform and lower tax rates. This would mean we are back on track, the economy would grow, prosperity would return and the ability to earn an income would become a reality so Gold as a hedge against disaster would no longer be required. Until then, millions of citizens are storing some wealth in to an asset that progressives have very little control over.
Wonder if he wanted to be an Oscar Meyer but failed the quality control test.
1. The reason you might buy antique coins is that during the tyrannical rule of FDR he forced all gold back under government control UNLESS they were minted prior to specific year, that law still stands.
2. The antique coins also have intrinsic value as antiques vs. the spot price of the gold.
3. Hard metal, vs. paper is also tangible, paper is only worth the trust you put in the minter of the paper.
Wieners attacks precluded any of the above facts and stated Goldline was overcharging for antique coins because you could buy paper much cheaper. That's like saying you are charging too much for a Ferrari because after all KIA's are much cheaper.
Part 2
It's a silly thing to say and he backed off that claim once someone with a brain got to him.
Next he tried to say that Goldline was a bad company period, but the BB gave it a A+ , where as the companies that LIBERAL talk show hosts were using are getting F's, not only is the statement wrong but if your goal is to go after companies in the business that are less than stellar then your attack is pointed in the wrong direction, unless of course you could care less about the issue and JUST want to find SOMETHING to attack Beck over.
Having lost that argument he then stated that Goldline bribed the BB to get that rating, I hope he is sued for that one.
His arguments are nothing but a simple political attack, he continues unabated at every step that he is proven completely wrong which proves his intent, attack Beck, attack Beck's sponsors. The man should be jailed for unethical behavior, LOL, like that will ever happen under Obama.
Why don't you just come out and admit you have no understanding of the subject.
I can't follow the connection between flipping paper gold for short term profit being a driving force for people to buy collectible gold coins.
And, from what I've seen of the weiner's "report", it looks as though he's comparing collectible value of coins to current market value for gold, which is an apples to oranges comparison made with the purpose of making the company look like a scam.
Right now is a bit late in the game to buy gold in bullion, as we're too far into the upward curve – the best time to buy would have been summer of 2008, though some might still buy, betting that the price of gold not only will continue to rise, but will stay at those price levels. This is why the consumer has a responsibility to be informed before making buying decisions, whether it be for a house, a car, or gold.
Add some chili to that and it might work!
Speaking of chili, perhaps Weiner will get a chilly reception this November!
Doesnt Weiner have something better or more imporatant to do than to get on a tv host about his advertising.
On top of that Glenn Beck has a site decated to him, forgot its site name though, but it does explain everything.
Its a sad day that this is what our congressmen have been reduced to, a bunch of whiney pathetic loosers. Maybe its time he leaves office before he makes an even bigger fool of himself. If not, the Weiner jokes will never end.
He has made 3 arguments and lost them all, but he has not dropped the issue OR changed targets which should lead an honest person to ask if Wiener is trying to stop a bad practice, or is he pursuing a political attack?
When you lose your first point and are undeterred that leans to the attack side, when you do this 3 times then something should smell very wrong.
The closer though is that when one of your "Points" is proved wrong about YOUR TARGET but TRUE ABOUT AND ALLY and you do NOT change targets then your motivation is clear, to argue otherwise is simple partisan apologetics.
Wiener should lose his job over this and as far as I am concerned be in the poor house, but the most "Open and Honest" administration EVER won't lift a finger or even issue a protest, they don’t care because they are most likely behind it, Wiener is a useful idiot cut out.
I have to say this because it will make me feel better. Weiner is a prick!
Weiner is trying to destroy Beck…He could care less about Goldline, except for it's
connection to Beck…(a sponsor)…This administration and it's foot soldiers have no
qualms about destroying individuals along with our great country!!
Calling him Mr. Weiner is just too funny. His parents called him Little Boy Weiner for years…
It a known fact that Mr. Weiner hates Bush.
Judging from your grammar I'm going to guess that you're not from around here. So on behalf of Americans everywhere let me say this: Welcome to our country.
Awww, how sweet, Chuckies "little weiner"……..lol
I'm gonna watch Beck even more, just to piss off that little Weiner!
Want to see a real rip-off?
1 oz. American Eagle Uncirculated – $1478.00
Whose selling this at 21% over spot? The U.S. Mint, that's who.
good thing I didn't have a mouth full of diet dew when I read your post….good one and absolutely accurate!!
I think it's disgusting of Weiner to say you get a better BBB rating if you pay more dues.
Plus, gold isn't eve at an all time high right now, when you factor in inflation… gold in the 1980's cost over $2,400 in todays dollars.
Not to mention the Ebay coin seller incurs a listing fee as well as a final valuation fee. these are pretty hefty.
Remember children…Miketrolla NEVER resorts to demeaning anyone….To him it is unethical….He is so superduper cool….just read his 5000+ posts…..sarcasm ON!…..
I"m feeling that way too. It's like he goes out of his way to give Obama and other progressives the benefit of the doubt. Enough is enough, already. O'Reily needs to get tough or get the hell out of that sweet time slot of his.
It's 'Whiny Wiener'. Well, it ought to be.
I'm just an amatuer gold investor, and I've been trying like hell to understand what Weiner is talking about. I can see no possible way how Goldline can stay in business if they are marking up the product the way Weiner says they are. After reading this post and all the comments I think I finally figured it out – Weiner does not know the difference between standard gold bullion and numismatics. What an idiot. That is gold investment basics 101.
Stopped watching O'Reilly the night he cow-towed to The Won. In the words of the old country song, "you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for everything."
"They're selling fear, a run on the bank, and economic collapse."
Is Moody's also selling fear? They have issued several statements within the past year saying that the US is at risk of losing the AAA rating… the negative impact of being downgraded would be immense. Moody's said it will, in some cases, "test social cohesion." In case you don't know what that means, let me break it down: Civil unrest and riots… basically, just like Greece.

Is the NY Times selling fear when they report that Moody's says that our debt crisis " will test social cohesion," or is the NYT just reporting on the fear peddling from Moody's?
How about all those economists and politicians, including President B.O., who pushed for a bailout of Greece…. b/c if Greece fails, other Euro states fail, and due to out interdependence (by design… economic M.A.D) we would also collapse…. Are they selling fear, also?
How about Al Gore and his buddies? They claim that the world is going to end unless we enact cap and tax to curb CO2 (which, as Joel Rogers (obama and van jones buddy) points out, is pointless b/c its impossible to get to the desired CO2 levels– look it up)……and if the plan of cap and tax is enacted, Al Gore and the investors in the CCX (CRIME INC.) will make millions. Aren't they just selling fear to get rich…… ? Or is that O.K. because they are using your beloved Progressive big government as the apparatus to screw us… and we won't have a choice in the matter?
p.s. Beck says that gold isn't right for everyone and they need to look in to it themselves. Buyer beware…. I missed the part in the founding documents where it says, or even implies, that the government is to protect stupid people from themselves…. perhaps you'd like to share?
// "…….. whether it be for a house, a car, or gold." //
………and firearms.
Wow mikashithead, totally ignore the facts, how unusual! you are pathetic
// "You'll be eating cat food and living in a cardboard box." //
Investing in firearms means you can live in your own house by keeping the SEIU thugs out, and you can eat anything that can't outrun a bullet.
not only that, but i believe from what Beck said, that the "unreasonable" markups that Weiner was referring to are only on certain old, collectible coins. the new coins and bullion have lower markups. in a interview with the president of Goldline, I believe the gentleman stated that some of their offerings have only an 18% markup. how many other businesses operate with that low a margin?
