The Attempt to Silence Glenn Beck

In a blatant attempt to silence Glenn Beck, Congressman Weiner (D-NY)is attacking Goldline, a sponsor of the Glenn Beck Show on Fox and on the radio. Weiner claims that Beck and Goldline are profiting from people's fears and driving up the price of gold. This is a ridiculous and stupid claim since Beck doesn't have the funds or clout to manipulate the world gold market. And Goldline does not physically affect the worldwide gold market with their buying and selling. Obama's minister and advisor, Jim Wallis (self-proclaimed Marxist) has also sponsored a boycott to attack Beck's sponsors. Ex-Green Czar Van Jones has also launched a similar attack against Beck. So there has been attack after attack coming from the White House and going after Glenn Beck because he is exposing their agenda and corruption.

A private individual or organization clearly has the right to boycott advertising sponsors. But what happens in a situation where the enormous powers of the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government arbitrarily decide to promote a boycott of a private citizen because of his criticism of the government? It's clearly a thinly-guised attempt to deprive a private citizen of his First Amendment constitutional right to free speech. In another time and place this blatant attempt at suppression would be deemed state fascism, communism, or totalitarianism.

Unlike the usual cries of “CENSORSHIP” - this one, if true, really is.

What we are witnessing with the boycotts of Beck’s advertisers, coordinated attacks on Beck by the media and politicians and now this fake investigation into Beck and Goldline is 100% unadulterated political persecution.

If Americans do not stand with Glenn Beck and tell the government to BACK OFF and let him speak, then we are no better than the Germans who stood by and let the first Jews be taken away by Hitler.

For years, the government did everything in their power to get Americans to buy houses, even though they were clearly over-priced and a bad investment.

The Government caused a bigger financial bubble and subsequent losses than Glenn Beck and Goldline could in a thousand years.

They are trying to silence him because he is is doing a great job of waking Americans up before the takeover by Marxists/Communists is complete.

Then there’s the whole $10 trillion heist Cap and Trade Crime Inc thing. They have to take him out before he gets the word out to enough people and Americans realize that certain people at the highest levels in our government are literally getting ready to rob America.

Stand with Glenn everyone. If they take him down, the rest of us are next.

Stand by for the arrival of the Beck-haters, who refuse to see his message as anything but preaching for the sake of converting us all into Mormons.

Maybe when I bought gold in 2004 I was frightening people to drive the price up. Glenn Beck wasn’t on the air then, but I ran into him in a bar and he whispered to me to buy gold because he and goldline would drive the price up /sarc

Behold the Democrat Gestapo of today. They want to steal your freedoms; all of them giving them power over every aspect of your life and determining your death via denial of health care. Sinister and evil!

When are these enemies of freedom going to be investigated and all their dirt exposed? Start with Weiner, the Fuhrer’s hand maiden.

I am not supporting organized boycotts of any of Becks sponsors, but I personally wouldnt buy gold from ANY tv/radio gold sellers because their fees and markups are too high. This is purely a personal investment decision, but be very careful with these radio/tv investment deals,

Geez, Goldline advertises on practically every radio talk show and in conservative magazines.

They must know liberals are too stupid to understand saving and investing for the future! lol

All these self avowed Marxists are extremely troubling. The problem is that I’ll bet 1 in 3 know what Marxism is and if they do, they probably hear about how “fair” it is and not the real story from real people living under Marxist rule. However 2 in 3 could explain the American Idol rules and processes.

Beck is spot on in his analysis of the left. I don't particularly like his presentation style (don't like Hannity's presentation style either). But delivery method aside, he right about what he says.

Ditto; but my reasoning includes this. Those guys (the ones I've called, anyway) always try to steer you onto their numismatic gold, at a huge markup over the gold content -- they say 1) these are highly collectible; and 2) "the government can't take numismatic gold away from you like they can bullion."
To 1) when the manure hits the fan and you want to cash in, nobody, I mean NOBODY will care if it's collectible; they'll just want to know if it's gold. To 2) that is poppycock. The government can take anything away if they're of a mind to do it; but not if they don't know where it is. Duh.

So, my take on Beck's sponsor is that he should investigate if it's selling bullion at a fair price, and not just the puffy numismatics, and point this out to his listeners.

The slimes in this Administration and this Congress want to shut down anyone digging their dirt. Case closed.
