Rep. Anthony Weiner (D., N.Y.) has uncovered a conspiracy between conservative talk-radio hosts and the gold companies that advertise on their shows. According to Weiner, the conservative talkers scare their listeners into believing that the government under Pres. Barack Obama is headed for insolvency, and that the U.S. dollar is headed for a period of intense instability. This makes the listeners want to invest in gold, which is what the advertisers are selling.
Weiner is only about five months late to this party. Prompted by Ken Vogel’s reporting in Politico, MSNBC ranter Keith Olbermann and Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert have been on the case since last December, respectively ranting and making (admittedly funny) jokes about the symbiotic relationship between conservative talk radio and retail gold companies such as Goldline International.
But the involvement of a member of Congress adds a disturbing element to the plot. Weiner has issued a formal report condemning Goldline, called on federal agencies to investigate the company, and explicitly accused Beck and others of impropriety in their relationships with Goldline, insinuating — never proving, of course — that Beck’s criticism of the administration is at least partially motivated by a desire to scare up business for an advertiser.

The US mint sells silver coins valued at $7 for over $50 dollars.
OK, so Greece and the Euro are crashing, there’s a volcano of oil gushing into the gulf that no one is talking about. North Korea has just sunk a South Korean destroyer with a torpedo and Iran says it can wipe Israel out in a week. Meanwhile the president applaudes Mexico’s government for flouting boarder laws in Arizona.
Precisely what are the Conservative Talk Show hosts adding to the present state of affairs to make one “any more motivated” to buy gold?
Beck has been a riot this week talking about Weiner.

silver is $17.69 and ounce today.
You always pay a premium for minted coins regardless as to who produces the coin.
Democrats are such liars.
I guess Beck won’t be on Weiner’s wedding guest list?
If Beck and Goldline actually are recommending people purchase collectible coins instead of bullion, eagles, or blanks, they’re doing those people a serious disservice.
If and when the SHTF those coins will be worth no more than their melt value.
They can not hold down Gold and Silver much longer. It should be about 50 an oz. Obamabucks are shakey.
Don’t ever, EVER buy gold or silver on paper. You need the real deal in your hot little hands, preferably in coins.
Agreed. This is true for bullion coins.
And NBC puts out “public service announcements” praising CFLs, which are sold by their mother company, GE.
Wise move.
That’s kind of how I look at it. I don’t want a certficate that says I own something. I want to be able to hold it in my hand and have control over it.
The free market allows me to do that and its what Wiener is trying to prevent.
1992 AMERICAN EAGLE GOLD BULLION 4 COIN PROOF SET*MINT*
Thats 1.85 oz of gold and the current bid is $3,150.00. There's a ton of other evidence listed on Ebay.
Keep in mind that that half the American people must pay almost a third of everything we make to the federal government. That's a pretty good profit for the government and we have to do ALL the paperwork or pay to have it done!
