Audio: Weiner Report vs Reality!

***DON'T MISS THE AUDIO AT BOTTOM OF POST FROM ACTUAL GLENN BECK GOLDLINE COMMERCIALS!***

Looking into the Weiner report about Glenn Beck and Goldline, Weiner (or more likely his former Media Matters employee, the sloppiness is a dead giveaway) goes to great length to try to paint a picture of Glenn as a frantic pitchman for gold.

Some Weiner quotes:

--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.

So is Glenn really using "high pressure sales tactics" by telling everyone to spend all of their money "stockpiling gold coins"?

Weiner-Based-Research

In the Weiner report about Glenn Beck and Goldline, Weiner fires up  his Congressional research machine and sources...a message board?

"According to customer complaints, that can be found on consumer complaint boards such as 'Rip-off Reports'"

Here at WeinerFacts.com we don't lower ourselves to sourcing message boards.  We'll stick with the Better Business Bureau, and even the New York Times:

"The Better Business Bureau, which has given Goldline an A+ rating, said Tuesday that it was standing by that. A representative of the bureau said it had recently re-reviewed Goldline in response to Mr. Weiner’s accusations and saw no reason for a change. “It’s a company with not that many complaints,” said Gary Almond, from the bureau. When compared with other companies that sell gold, “there was a remarkable difference in how each one addressed complaints,” noting that some of those other companies had F ratings."

Weiner-Based-Coincidence

The same day Weiner released his ridiculous attack on Glenn Beck, he had an up close and personal meeting with President Barack Obama!  I wonder what they talked about when the cameras weren't rolling?

Weiner offered this deep analysis of the meeting:  "The President gets it," said Weiner.
