Glenn Beck: 'The Amateur' By Edward Klein

Glenn Beck is a goldmine for Comedy Central.

And Beck is a goldmine for Goldline International, professional thieves.

As Glenn Beck goes, so goes his favorite gold company. For years, the Santa Monica-based precious metals company, Goldline International, has helped keep the conservative talk show host on the air by sponsoring his radio show and now-defunct Fox News show. Goldline stuck with Beck even after most of his other advertisers fled in light of the host's increasingly inflammatory rhetoric. Beck, for his part, lavishly praised the company, telling listeners and viewers that he personally bought gold from the company and calling its executives "people I trust."

Those were the golden days. Since Beck's Fox News heyday, his fortunes and Goldline's have fallen sharply. Beck parted ways with Fox in June, and in November prosecutors in Santa Monica charged six of Goldline's executives with fraud and accused the company of running a bait-and-switch operation that lured customers into buying overpriced antique coins as investments—coins that Beck promoted on his shows.

What's wrong with owning physical gold? It's not gold certificates; it's a tangible precious metal that you can hold in your hands and lock up in your safe. If the economy does crash, it will translate into whatever currency replaces it.

Back in the 1930's when FDR made everybody give up their gold, the Feds bought it for $35 an ounce. If those people had hidden their gold and held onto it, it would now be worth about $1600 an ounce.
 
The interview with Wright was taped. But I guess you'll believe what you want to believe. That's really what liberalism has devolved to.

Here is a one on one interview with Jeremiah Wright. Why don't you listen to what the man had to say?

Reverend Jeremiah Wright . Watch & Listen | PBS

I did. It was still pretty wrong and it was still pretty whack.

I give Obama props for finally getting it right, and denouncing this nutbag...

I find Wright to be more genuine and sensible than Obama. I have at least an element of respect for him. I have no respect for Obama. He's lying, manipulative, soulless swine.

Or you could just save me some time and tell me your point b/c I've listened to plenty of Rev Wright. If you got something to say then say it child.

I am not you nanny. It is not my job to educate morons like you. LISTEN to the interview.

No then. Say whatever it is you got to say. This is a forum; not a place where I come to get blind tasks from random nut jobs.
 
I'm sure that Wright has done some good things in his community.

It doesn't take away from the fact that he regularly preached hate from the pulpit.

And that was unacceptable. Even Obama said so, eventually.

Why are we still discussing this?

Wright never preached hate. You are parroting, not presenting fact. As a matter of FACT, if every American had been given Wright's sermon the Sunday after 9/11, maybe America's blood lust wouldn't have murdered millions of Iraqis.

"Our nation is somewhat sad, but we’re angry. There’s a certain level of blood lust, but we won’t let it drive our reaction. We’re steady, clear-eyed and patient, but pretty soon we’ll have to start displaying scalps."
George W. Bush

1) We didn't murder millions of Iraqis. Nowhere near that.

2) Sorry, we were perfectly entitled to blood lust after 9/11.

3) Not that I believe in a sky pixie, but someone who says God wanted us to get hit on 9/11 was a nutbag. Sorry.

Incidently, I'm pretty middle of the road and will probably vote for Obama this time, but Wright is a horrid creature, and Obama was right to kick him to the curb.
 
Wow, the silver gerbil is still at it. When the proof that your story is true is that you said you saw secret service people there I cannot imagine how any of this could be taken lightly. It is clear to me that Obama was conspiring with this christian leader to make the US a muslim socialist state. That is what black christian leaders want, and obama talks like a black preacher so he must believe it to.

No really everyone Glen Beck and whatever the fuck his name was are right Obama is going top take us as far away from their direction as possible. Perhaps the fact that Mitt is going to listen to fucknuggets like this is a reason you vote for Obama.

You mean like the guy who goes to Funditard U and kisses ass on people who call him a cultist?

Guy, you seriously need to see someone about your Obama Derangement Syndrome. When he wins in November, you are going to be a very unhappy guy.

Well, Mitt and Glenn both know the secret Mormom Handshake to get into the Celestial Heaven.

Is that the one where you split your middle finger from your index finger and are not the black guy?

There is nothing wrong with owning gold. BUT, when a company pulls a bait and switch and sells you coins that are not worth their melt value, indictments follow.

You are proving that you are ignorant. Do yourself a BIG favor, watch the interview. Ask Immie about the interview. He actually watched it and realized he was being fed right wing propaganda and only snippets of what Wright said that were edited to slander and smear the man.

And PLEASE tell me what Iraq had to do with the attacks on 9/11? Were ANY of the terrorists Iraqis???

I understand. The right wing parrot CAN'T watch or hear anything that contradicts the dogma and propaganda their handlers tell them to believe.

You have listened to plenty of Wright someone wanted you to hear, edited with the intent of slander.

I always believed in America, a man has the right to give his side of the story without editing or censorship. You right wing morons don't WANT to hear what the man has to say.

LOL; reading this I can tell that nobody is going to desperately convince you to give up any of your desperate beliefs. Thanks for the laugh though.
 
Okay now libs. You've done all of your routine distractions. Let's actually address the OP now. What do you have to actually say about:

- Rev Wright being offered $150 K by the Obama campaign to not talk.

- Rev Wright stating quite clearly that Obama had been to his house 'thousands' of times.

- Rev Wright stating quite clearly that Obama knew about his incendiary sermons after all.

- The media burying this story while jumping on the Romney bully story.

- The fact that Wright explicitly claimed that Obama was just a politician that would do anything to get elected.

Wright was offered 150K by someone who knows Obama, not the Obama campaign, and we only have his word for it.

For Obama to be at Wright's house "thousands" of times, it would mean he'd have to make 50 visits a year on average for every "thousand" times he was there. So that seems a bit of an exaggeration.

So what?

I'm not sure if the Media has "buried" this story. Wright was done to death at the time and it doesn't matter now that Obama has governed for four years as a centrist, does it?

A politician would do anything to get elected? really? Wow, that totally makes me cynical about the system.

Next you'll tell me Romney went to a Funditard university that teaches his beloved Church is a cult and not mention his religion at all.

Oh. Wait. That happened, I'm so sorry.

Guy, I live in Chicago, we've known abuot Wright and his rilling up the rabble before going to his gated Community in Tinley Park he made fleecing the sheep.

I have no more use for Left Wing religious phonies than I have for Right Wing religious phonies.

It kills me that you call yourself a Republican while being just as huge of a Democrat apologist as anyone.

And yes, it was Obama's best bud that offered Obama the $150K. You think Obama didn't know? I mean, you can believe the unlikely if you want. They talked of all the perks that Obama has given him and how he vacations with him every year. It's doubtful that Obama was not in the loop.

And I don't know that Wright meant thousands literally though he very well may have. Twenty years is a long time to know someone. I have friends that I've been to their houses thousands of times. The point is that Obama knew exactly what Wright was about despite his claims.

Also, watch the interview of Klein with Hannity. He talks about how Obama told Wright that he "sometimes goes over the top" in his sermons. Obama knew exactly what Wright was about.

Dude; the media wasn't merely burying the Wright "done to death" story. The entire book is full of bomb shells against Obama. And it's funny how you reframed the argument. The f'ing Washington Post reporter asked, why should this story matter if its a few years old; not do you think this story was done to death. Come on Joe. You're not better than that but come on. Don't blatantly twist the argument.

Also, you glossed over the fact that Obama personally requested a gag order on Obama. That doesn't jive with his "I had no idea he was saying these things" stuff. Why is it that you so willfully look the other way on Obama's lies? I think you've justified your lies and hate JoeB; but you're just not fooling anyone with half a brain.

It kills me that you think that the GOP is going to make a comeback by appealling to hate and crazy conspiracy theories rather than beating Obama in the arena of ideas.

When I was a Republican, it was about something. Today it's about fooling people into voting against their own interests by playing on their baser instincts, and that's just sad.

SO you know everything your friends do, then? Everything? They tell you everything they do, even things they know would probably upset you?




And I don't know that Wright meant thousands literally though he very well may have. Twenty years is a long time to know someone. I have friends that I've been to their houses thousands of times. The point is that Obama knew exactly what Wright was about despite his claims.

So math isn't one of your strong points. Only 365 days in a year. If you visited someone every day, it would take you nearly three years to be there 1000 times.



Also, watch the interview of Klein with Hannity. He talks about how Obama told Wright that he "sometimes goes over the top" in his sermons. Obama knew exactly what Wright was about.

And the GOP doesn't hide it's crazy ministers in the closet? How about the guy Hagee who supported McCain and then Perry, who made the comment that the Holocaust was part of God's plan so Israel would form so Jesus can come back.

Or Robertson and Falwell commenting that 9/11 was the fault of abortionists, gays and witches?

Right or left, religious people are often whacky, which is why no one takes them seriously. And maybe we should. "Ah, he said something totally batshit crazy, but it's okay, he found a bible verse to back it up!!!"

The thing is, no one cares. Obama's been president for four years now. Please point out to me one policy that shows he took anything Wright says seriously.
 
WTF JoeB? I said twenty years is a long time and that I had friends that I'd been to their houses more than a thousand times. How is that supposed to be some sort of faulty math? IDIOT.
