“I defy Glenn Beck to dispute the premise of the report.” -Weiner- part 3

 PREMISE:  From the Weiner report:  "Goldline Formed An Unholy Alliance with Conservative Pundits to Drive a False Narrative”

The truth is, this is really the only “premise” of the Weiner report.  Weiner doesn’t like conservatives, especially ones named Glenn Beck.  He wants him out of business, so he attacks one of his big advertisers.  The goal is simple—scare people away from doing business with Glenn.  There have been no less than three direct advisers to the president involved in similar efforts, and while Weiner isn’t exactly a prominent congressperson, he’s doing it too.

Here’s how Weiner describes this "premise": “On numerous occasions, Glenn Beck has dedicated entire segments of his program to explaining why the U.S. money supply is destined for hyperinflation with Barack Obama as president.”

Let’s dismiss this bit of stupidity quickly.  There are a two separate accusations Weiner is making, oh-so-subtly.

1. Glenn only believes in economic trouble because of Barack Obama being in office.
2. Glenn only thinks gold is a good idea because Goldline is his advertiser.

Listen to this audio file.

It comes from Glenn’s show on September 5, 2007.  Gold was at $670 per ounce.  It’s right around $1200 per ounce now.  More importantly, you might have noticed that it occurred when George W. Bush was president.  George W. Bush.  GEORGE. W. BUSH.  That means Glenn was talking positively about gold BEFORE Barack Obama was president.  It's one of many examples.  Got that Weiner?

Secondly, the clip occurred BEFORE GOLDLINE WAS AN ADVERTISER.  BEFORE. BEEEEFOOORRE.   To review, for those Weiners out there:

Glenn says he’s been buying gold for years--in a clip from 2007.

That means Glenn has been buying gold since long before Barack Obama was president.

It also means Glenn has been buying gold since long before Goldline was an advertiser.

But Weiner hasn’t had enough of a mouthful of failure yet.  Instead, he accuses Glenn of using fear to give a panicked forceful hard-sell to his listeners and viewers to buy gold.

Some quotes from the Weiner report to see his approach:

“He will often promote the purchase of gold as the only safe investment alternative for consumers who want to safeguard their livelihoods.”

“The message that these commentators push is that government is out of control and unsafe, inflation will continue to devalue the dollar and that as an investor you should protect yourself by stock piling gold coins.”

“…there is always someone ready to take advantage of the situation and profit from people’s fears.”

“Commentators like Glenn Beck who are shilling for Goldline are either the worst financial advisors around or knowingly lying to their loyal viewers.”

“Goldline’s high pressure sales tactics and fear mongering about big government as well as their ability to hire sales staff and spokespeople who misrepresent their roles are case studies in why entities like the SEC and FTC are necessary.”

Now, compare those quotes to this audio—taken from actual Goldline commercials.

Does this sound like a guy forcing gold on his audience?  Could any honest Weiner possibly believe that it does?
