The financial pundits laughed at Peter Schiff too. Stand for truth and their words cannot hurt you!

By making fun of 912 and the principles and values, he’s really mocking AMERICA not Beck. Glad to see the media is letting it all hang out — Their hatred for all things good and decent in America that is.
