From MSNBC Hardball with Chris Matthews (transcript)
March. 21, 2006:

KRISTINN, FREEREPUBLIC.COM: We have kids that wear Che Guevara shirts here in the United States.

MATTHEWS: Yes, but they're kind of cute at this point, aren't they? They're not about somebody out to get us now. I think there's a difference. I mean, that's kind of camp almost, isn't it?...is Che Guevara the symbol of hate in the United States anymore?

KRISTINN: Yes.

MATTHEWS: I don't think so. I mean, a lot of our kids wear them. I see kids wearing them all the time, even my kids wear them. It's like a Robert Marley T-shirt at this point.

Mark Levin is another solid spokesman for Goldline International.
Think I’ll buy some gold from that company.

[Liberty Valance]

Who is Dylan Ratigan?

[RC2]

I agree with this. That’s why they are more popular than Glenn Beck. s/

[screaminsunshine]

I rather have a bag of Krugerands than a bag of paper any day.

[thecabal]

Because it’s not genteeeeeeeeeel enough.

[Mr. K]

Glen Beck has a phone hotline for the white house to call ANY TIME then need to correct him on anything

All he is doing it reporting facts no one else has bothered to find out

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

One of the complaints about Goldline seems to be that they have a high pressure salesman (on commission of course) who talks investors (supposedly first time callers) out of sounder investments and into more expensive, less valuable stuff. For example, one customer wanted to buy platinum but the salesman talked him into buying gold coins.

From the following, one would think Goldline is not so bad after all:

Rip-off Report Investigation: Goldline International commits to total customer satisfaction, pledges to address complaints & inquiries.

Dylan Ratigan on Wednesday became the latest host at that channel to lash out at Fox News. He frothed that Glenn Beck is a "scumbag" for touting the company Goldline. Ratigan promoted an investigation by Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner of the business.

[Titus-Maximus]

This is the government trying to close down Fox News. This is a dismantling of the First Amendment.

Stalinism!

[papertyger]

Sometimes, a measured response to the caustic comments allows the genteel party to stay above the fray.

And at other times, it's simply cowardice.

[MHGinTN]

Glenn is exposing the agenda of the current crop of scummy progressives, and this fool Ratigan just identified himself as a prime one, perhaps in the hope that some money man commie like Soros would wet himself and promote the fool.
