Are you actually suggesting that by reporting on the success of the gold market currently, they’ve managed to drive up the price? How much power do you think they have?! Wow!

And when did they start talking about gold? If you’re saying they weren’t talking about it then, you must know when they did start talking about it. Right?

Ted’s tactic is to just be annoying. I don’t think he really has any political opinions… or if he does, why he believes one thing over another… just wants to be annoying… just trying to get attention. Odds are, when he’s not posting here, he’s posting over at YouTube… trying to pick fights with people to replace the love and attention he either doesn’t get now, or didn’t get as a child. Truth is, however, it’s a lot more sad than annoying.

Did every host or anchor of every program that accepted such ads really endorse all the companies whose ads they broadcast? Of course not — there would be nothing to gain by changing lenders every month or so.

Now the big thing is gold, and I saw on Glenn Beck’s TV show that he now has, I think, three different advertisers for gold. They are paying his salary, they are paying him, he is not representing them.

Does Stephen Colbert even know what firms advertise on his Comedy Central show? Does he care? Does it matter?

Postscript: the plethora of gold advertisements is a contrary indicator. Now is a good time to sell gold, not to buy. It’s a bubble, and we all know what happens to bubbles.

Dems and Reps have always used it and you look foolish when you try to call the other side out for it as if your side never does. How about we stop blindly defending our “side”? Stop hating Beck just because you think you’re supposed to. Stop attacking the “mainstream media” at every turn like they’re pure evil. Keeping us arguing over this piddly crap is what allows those in power (both sides) to maintain control over us.

ChrisNH – Here’s another deep thought. Which is worse, Rush Limbaugh picking his nose, or Glenn Beck eating what Rush Limbaugh picked from his nose?

By the way, Straitshooter – you are a complete asshole.

Yep, there’s that there intelligent debate that we knuckledraggin’ conservatives are incapable of.

Please, Ted, that didn’t even make it to ad hominem. Find something else to do. Isn’t there a Captain Underpants book you haven’t read yet?

Which is worse: Beck advocating something he believes in, or Al Gore pushing a ‘Global Warming’ agenda from his cushy seat on a G-V?

Here’s the evil genius of Al Gore-bbels’ scam: He’s already making enough money through his investments in Apple and Google to live as high on the hog as he wants, and when people point out his globetrotting, limo-riding, jet-flying, monster mansion pollution hypocrisy, he just says, “How dare you question my integrity. I buy carbon credits. I plant trees. Shaddup.”

If his dream of worldwide cap-and-trade and further punitive energy regulation come to fruition, he stands to make BILLIONS more. So while others around the world will lower their standard of living in order to minimize CO2 emissions, he will never lower HIS standard of living. More regulation, more “green” energy schemes, more moola for Gore, the more trees he plants, the more reason he has to say “shaddup.”

In short, Gore has set himself up to be one of George Orwell’s “animals [that] are more equal than others.”

By the way, Straitshooter – you are a complete asshole.

I’m not saying gold’s headed for a crash or even a decline, but I’d have far more respect for these gold pushers if they’d shown some evidence of spotting a trend before it’s obvious to everyone.

4. How about Hollywood who make movies that make the human race or just Americans as evil people like the new movie Avatar does.

Amen, bro! Check this out from the L.A. Times on May 26, 2004:

The liberal political action group MoveOn.org kicked off its efforts Monday, a few hours before “

The Day After Tomorrow‘s” New York premiere at the Museum of Natural History (which was surrounded by fake snow for the event). In a neo-Gothic Universalist church a block away, 500 boisterous MoveOn members gathered for the global warming briefing-cum-pep rally.

Laurie David, who is a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council and [was] married to TV actor and writer Larry David, took on the role of cheerleader for Hollywood. “We all know one disaster film is worth 1,000 environmental speeches,” she said. David expects the movie to be “the tipping point” in the debate over global warming and added, “I never thought I’d be uttering these words, but thank you, Fox [i.e. 20th Century Fox, the studio behind the movie].“

BTW: The Day After Tomorrow was written by Whitley Strieber — who claims to have been abducted by aliens — and Art Bell, late-night/early morning radio talkhost who delves into psychic phenomena, UFOs, and conspiracy theories. “Honest Fiction” my…

In the end, you still look like a fool for vulgar attacks on a person so it doesn’t matter.

Which is exactly why you never mentioned the republicans use of fear tactics. Oh no, both sides are bad, vote republican. Give me a break.

Yes, I openly stated both sides use fear as a tactic.

Snipzor: “considering how revolting you were to Glynnis by the end of your post.”

Not revolting. I was merely stating the fact that she has sexual intercourse with strange men for money. I think that’s great. It’s an obvious career choice for a woman with no brain.

1. Al Gore saying the Ice Caps will melt in 5 years if we dont spend trillions
2. Obama. saying If we dont pass the stimulus bill now our unemployment will be unrecoverable and will reach 10%
3. How about the fear to blacks that all republicans are racist and dont care about them. Soon they forget the republicans started civil rights movement. You guys do know Martin Luther king was a republican.
4. How about Hollywood who make movies that make the human race or just Americans as evil people like the new movie Avatar does.
These are Just a few.

It’s bad when they use their own position to drive up the price as a means of helping yourself to more money. I believe that’s called a conflict of interest. Not that I would expect you to understand what that means considering how revolting you were to Glynnis by the end of your post.

Also the GOP states that anyone who supports the bill wants to kill old people, I do quite enjoy how you’ve forgotten that so quickly. Oh yeah, when people are literally dying because of lack of health insurance, it isn’t a tactic of fear to mention that, it is an application of reality.

Is it a bad thing that GOP commentators are steering their listeners toward an investment that has grown enormously in value over the last 10 years? It would be a story if all these people advertised for a product that had their listeners going broke, but of course, that’s not the case.

It’s breaking records, and still climbing… so it’s a newsworthy story. The reason why the left isn’t talking about it so much is because with gold’s climb, the dollar sinks… and that makes the US and US leadership look weak.

As for the ads… Colbert should watch his own program more often, I’m sure he’ll see a gold ad now and then. The news nets get a larger portion of those ads because news viewers (I would assume) are more likely to also be investors as well. With all due respect to Comedy Central… I’m not sure how many dollars the average viewer has to spare on something other than “the munchies.”
