Partisan witch hunt.

Don’t forget about Sean Hannity being in bed with that guy that sold scams in Silver.
Look how the reich wing are always fronting for these chiseling frauds.

Goldline is scum because they hurt the precious metals discussion.  Buying bullion is smart but Goldline pushes numismatic coins, these coins have the same inflation hedge as baseball cards.  Glen Beck knew better, he was warned by Peter Schiff over a year ago. 

That’s because the witches brew resides on the right.

An A+ rating by the BBB?  I think people haven’t complained more than 1/10th of 1% because they have made a killing with the investment in gold over the last few years.  Those poor customers saw their net worth increase two fold!

That’s because the witches brew resides on the right.

Remember that guy in Congress that made it his mission in life to destroy Goldline?  What was his name again?  Oh yeah, Anthony Weiner.   He’s gone and Goldline and still in business. 

Liberals hate gold.

Or EXPERT SCAMMERY

This is the same DA that got in bed with Weiner. Last time around, Goldline did record business. They’re probably staffing up right now.

Yes, Goldline is still in business and still fleecing the low IQ Conservatives/Republicans/Tea Baggers.

The nice thing about coins is that the government doesn’t track purchases.

SEEDS !!!!!

Stealing candy from a baby, or scamming money from stupid paranoid old wing nuts, which is easier?

Selling Hopenchange!

HAHA, GOOD!

LOL… partisan witch hunt ?
Did you even see the piece where they reported how people got scammed into buying worthless
“gold” that was not really gold, while Glenn Beck is telling them that the dollar is gonna crash
as the anti-christ is in The White House.  better buy gold, and in the commercials
Gold-Line happens to be advertising for their gold.

Glenn Beck – Gold-Line = Match made in hell.

But why help these people who got scammed, they were stupid enough in the first place
to watch Glenn Beck´s show.

Gold-Line keep doing your thang ;)

true  Liberals hate gold, I dont think anyone should be investigating Gold-Line
they were successful at scamming people, and chances are their customers were Fox-Viewers
who believed in the free market, and deregulations, and I think this is a justified punishment.

Haha, the low IQ Conservatives/Republicans/Tea Baggers and their paranoia.

How predictable! A fraud endorsing a fraud. People who trust Glenn Beck/Huckabee really don´t deserve any better. They have been warned. They could have known better. Coins, news, books etc.- it works the same way: same costumers, same principle, same result. 

But the sheep will say that they are being accused because Becks face is selling there product. Anytime one of these knuckleheads says the sky is black and not blue and they are called on it the same talking points come up over and over. Its because of there Religion or there Politics that they are harassed. GIVE ME BRAKE. A CROOK IS A CROOK  and does not matter if.Republican or Democrat. Mean while the country gos down the toilet. Its the same three G,s that make mater to becks fans and they will overlook anything. GOD’ GUNS AND GAYS ok now this is where his fans scream and call me a commie tree hugging BLAH  BLAH BLAH

Glenn Beck endorsing misinformation and fraud?………….OF COURSE!!!
Fraud, fear and prejudice to be specific!

You’re smart. You should comment more here.

“or just wait for it all to play out”

No… we won’t be doing that…..

I sincerely hope Beck will go on air with a long monologue about how the charges are all about punishing “good “, “moral” Americans like him for telling the “truth”. 

lmao……….did you buy some gold?

Yeah boys – go get those folks over at Goldline!  I’m sure those misdemeanor charges will really frighten them into changing their business model.

Look at how those guys who were arrested at Fannie and Freddie changed the way……..uh, made them rethink……hmm………shit, nevermind!

The funny part is a teabagger will call looking for bullion but will end up buying coins.

It just shows how easy it is to scam them.

Glenn Beck relies on that too.

Pablo probably bought a lot of their worthless gold. How’s that free market treating you Pablo? 

Boy, didn’t see this coming!

ha…you ignorant baggers wouldnt know a scam if it bit you in ya dumb asses…you got jobbed by beck but you have too much pride to admit it…yeah thats right wingnuts, its a partisan witchhunt….double you purchase in retaliation….gawd damnn youre a gullable bunch of hicks

“worthless gold” – you can’t make this stuff up.

People sold gold that was not gold?

LOL. I’m busting a gut here. Tell me another one.  That last one was pure gold!

They’re not scum, they’re a BUSINESS. Just like Multilevel Marketing, Get rich quick schemes, Forex, Burger King, etc, etc, etc.
Some people like buying gold bullion, some people like buying coins even if they’re overpriced. Besides, I don’t see anyone complaining when Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser allows her name to be used to sell fat cleansers and all kinds of “natural” products with all kinds of crazy claims.http://libertarians4freedom.blogspot.com/

Bullshit, I’m a huge fan of Beck and I never bought from Goldline. In fact, I don’t own any gold.

Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Shultz, Randi Rhodes.  All Hawking Gold.

I suggest you invest in some spelling, grammar and syntax lessons. But don’t call a sales person.

Hayseeds. Conservative twats who don’t know their ass from their economic interests.

Here is something I have never understood…

If gold is the currency of the future and such a wise investment for the supposed global market crash, why are these companies selling it for the exact currency which will be useless in a few years?  Also, if it is gold bouillon, I can understand.  That is pure gold.  But they mainly sell gold coins.  Now correct me if I am wrong, coins have been clipped since the time of the Romans.  Meaning, it is some other metal that is gold or silver plated.  Also, like with any antique, the price is subjective.  Meaning, if no one wants or thinks that coin is valuable, it is worthless. 

Beck endorsed Goldline?  Beck’s name mentioned or visage pictured a half dozen times in GMA’s piece?

Oh boy this story is so transparently lol.  All the progs commenting on this story bemoaning the poor victims of Goldline, or laughing at the gullibility of supporters who might’ve used it.  Only it’s always them who are behind the constant attacks; Anthony Weiner, the lawyers he sent after the company, press folk who otherwise have nothing positive to say about Beck.  Nobody from “the base” who transacts with them has a problem with their business practices.  And nobody but yourselves are fooled to think this is anything but a broadside against Glenn Beck and an open threat being made to any business thinking to advertise on Beck’s shows.

Keep attacking the sponsorship, fools, or the man, or the listeners, or the venues, (or occasionally, though I don’t mean to say you should keep doing it, his family),… everything but engage honestly the arguments of the man himself.  We realize you don’t have the right stuff to engage on a battlefield of ideas.

BTW, Goldline wins this, and anyone who looks more than a centimeter deep into this story can see your ugly, bullying tactics.

why track something that is worthless?

I think Beck is a flaming idiot, but  as a spokesman he was probably not aware that company was scamming consumers. It is not really fair to include him as an accessory.

Sounds like you bought some too.

http://ptmoney.com/done-with-goldline-theres-more-than-one-way-to-buy-into-gold/

It’s called research.  There is this wonderful tool called google. 

You’re right.  No difference then telling someone the end of the world is coming and they should give all their money to them.  Or bank loaning out more money than an individual or group could afford, then using that loan as leverage in a bet that they couldn’t pay it off.  Or some guy (maybe a successful car maker) buying three kilos of cocaine, then cutting it with baking soda, rat poison, and flower and turning it into 12 kilos.  It’s all business right?

*LOL* This is what constitute a “crime” in California, a good sales pitch? What a screwed up state.

If luring customers in with one product and then convincing them to buy something more expensive were a crime, wouldn’t nearly every retailers be breaking the law?

Sounds like you bought some too

Fallacious, circumstantial ad homimen thinking and immaterial – not to mention out and out wrong.

“worthless gold” – priceless!

It’s called research.  There is this wonderful tool called google.

Your links do not prove the statement.  Further, you’re linking to the very story that’s up on top, genius.  And no, diagrammed tear-downs with a certain talk-show host’s face plastered all over it is not research – Its an obvious partisan attack.  Only a fool would think they weren’t agenda driven.

Yes… use the court systems to attack political opponents.  Very American of you to gleefully agree!  Maybe we should have a congressional investigation as well!

What are you talking about?  Oh.  A politically based prosecution.

OK, lets remove the Glenn Beck part out of it…

A company comes to you saying that the only good investment is gold.  They predict that the dollar will fall, inflation will rise, and stocks will crumble, thus the only long term asset is this precious metal.  This mean that you are basically placing a bet on all of these things will happen.  If they don’t, the price will either stay the same or fall (as it did in the early eighties), and you will make a bad investment.  In turn, this company is betting that these things will not happen, as they are collecting the currency that may or may not be useless in a few years.  That means they would have made a bad investment.  Therefor, instead of pure gold bouillon, they sell you possibly clipped “collectors” coins at the same rate as bouillon.  Now these coins are not pure gold and their value is subjective due to the “rarity” value.  Therefor, the investment of the company is much less than the one you are doing.  This is known as hedging a bet, therefor this is a hedge fund. 

Now legalities aside, if that seems like a good investment to you, than have at it.

I totally love your post. Can´t have anyone destroy your bubble, can you. And that´s exactly what Beck can count on while he counts his money. This has nothing to do with Beck´s political views.  Order you Goldline coins if you trust them. Support Beck and his sponsors. Just don´t whine when you lose money doing it.

He had a reputation to protect — albeit a sleazy one — and owed it to himself to investigate this scam operation thoroughly. I won’t give him a pass on this. He took their money for years and should have been much more vigilant. 

Some gold dealers are more equal than others.

What are the first two words in this article’s title again?  What are the cracks of half the progs who’ve posted to the thread?  Nobody’s buying what you’re selling, you know. Facetious ignorance doesn’t suit anyone with an ounce of self-respect.  Not when it’s been a several year ongoing battle.

I think this image is fitting:

You do realize that an A+ rating from the BBB is worthless, right? You do know that all it takes to get an A+ rating from the BBB is to pay them a large sum of money, don’t you? If you don’t pay them a large sum of money, then they trash your business in their listings of business’…So, it’s basically like a mob shakedown, but atleast the BBB won’t kill you. So, that’s a plus I guess…  And if you had read up on anything about Goldline, you’d know that they mark up the prices of the gold coins by atleast 40%, when you buy them. So, the price of gold must increase by 40% before the customer breaks even…So, no, Goldlines customers are not making a killing off their gold… I just don’t understand why normal, everyday Americans who lean right politically would rather believe everything people like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity tell you, without doing your own research, and then if people like me try to tell you whats going on, you’ll just say its a liberal conspiracy

Hey, if the Santa Monica Daily broke this blockbuster it must be HUGE!!!

Tin foil hat itch today ?

 I don’t get it never have and never will. Gold has increased in value about 100% since 1979. In that time it has gone up and down but I could find 10,000 stocks that have done far better than that since 1979. What is the big deal? Its a scam period. Its artificially inflated by fears that are unfounded and they convince you to buy more so the price continues to rise. But mark my words there will be a bust in this boom don’t get caught up in the moronic hype.

Yeah, because that’s the ONLY reason that Goldline is being taken to court. Because they are aligned with right-wing talk radio host. It could NEVER be that Goldline defrauded their customers, and then the DA where Goldline is based did an investigation after recieving numerous complaints from customers of Goldline, and found evidence to back up the complaints of their customers

I really don´t get why you are so stuck on defending Beck and obsessing about a factual correct headline. Telling you again a fraud endorsed a fraud. That´s how the game is played.

“This game is rigged, man.”

I’m totally PRO-GOLDLINE!!!

The more money they take from you TeaBagger Death Cult Zombies, the better!

This is f&cking HILARIOUS!!!!

yep
awesome

Not to mention ALL of the people telling him so.

You just commented on this dumba$$

Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Shultz, Randi Rhodes.  All Hawking Gold

Commodities, precious metals in particular, are classic hedges against an unstable market; such has been the reality for a number of years now and well explains the gold sellers’ (and we buy gold) ads everywhere, not just those related to Goldline.  Everyone knows that going in, or ought to.  Also when they sell coins, the content of the product is specifically quantified; there is no allegation that these companies sell “possibly clipped” coins; instead, they’re marked up.  That’s where their profit margin resides.  Everyone also ought to know that going in – just as they should know certain things about what they purchase in other sectors.  You also make the suggestion (elsewhere) the dealer doesn’t smoke the product; that it is just screwing folks and pocketing cash they know will retain value.  But then, you realize what their inventory is, no?

Get real.

Some gold dealers are more equal than others.

 You know it’s a scam when you see Beck, Hannity, Boortz, Levine, and all the right-wing Con men pushing it.

Ok chief.

Pablo….When purchasing US gold coins, the government does, in fact, know of these purchases. Unless paying under $10,000 in cash, to a local broker, who won’t report the sales to the government.

Coin dealers have to, by law, report selling and buying of coins to the federal government.
 
In 1933, US citizens were informed by the FDR administration, that they would have to turn in their coins and would receive  monetary compensation at an amount set by the government.

The ONLY gold coins exempted, were semi-numismatic and numismatic.( collectible coins.)

 

Why would you link to a months old story, about a FORMER congressman??? Oh, wait…I get it now… Because Anthony Weiner tried to go after Goldline, months ago, that is proof that this is a Liberal Conspiracy, to use the courts, to bring down a company because it associates itself with Glenn Beck. Right?  

In 1999, gold was selling at $297 an ounce. Today, the price is $1700+ per oz…

Now, who would that fool be, that didn’t diversify and  invest “some” cash in gold?

BTW- Soros bought billions in gold within the past two years, along with China. In fact, Hugo Chavez has repatriated gold in Venezuela…

I suggest…..YOU do your research!…….Look back to the last 50= years and study the causes and affects of gold increases. Why gold climbs, why it falls, when to buy, sell and what reasons to hold gold and/or silver. You don’t just buy gold hoping to make a financial killing. You hold it to protect against inflation, uncertainty, etc.

All you need to do, is compare prices. The best site to compare Goldline to, is Apmex. Goldline sells the semi-numismatic and numismatic coins, many other brokers do not.

During the Carter presidency, gold hit a record $880 per oz….In order to reach an historic high, gold would need to reach $2200+, adjusted for inflation.

Gold hit $1900+ earlier  this year. Most analysts expect gold to hit $2500 within the next 2 years..

Which means, this country is heading for hyper-inflation.

To show the legacy of this concerted partisan attack, launched by the arguably highest profile partisan attack dog of the progressive wing (now known to be a proven liar) from a congressional district across the entire country from where the company is based.  And to show, just as now, that the causality is plainly evident as Glenn Beck’s name, then as now, is all over articles regarding investigations into Goldline.  The conspiracy is the supposition that this is not politically motivated – even as this subthread is contained in the context of a partisan poster gleefully giving evidence to it (as a quick check of his profile reveals it’s not consumer protection which motivates him) – and your evidence… …is?

You are kidding,right? 

‘The BBB is a shakedown outfit.’

Conspiracy much? Oh yes. I see that you do.

Yep, just keep betting on the dollar. LOL

Wait, what about the liberals who advertise it?

Not fair?  It’s the motivation. He’s not the ‘accessory,’ (to business practices that isn’t a crime); he’s the target.

They pushed people into getting overly inflated gold coins that are not worth as much as they claim.  BTW- I don’t care what Soros or Chavez have done.

… in bed with Wiener? Pablo, did you have to… really?

EYE BLEACH PLEASE!

You just crossed the line to official dumb ass!

You picked out that line to make an intelligence crack?  Congratulations.  You just proved yourself an illiterate.

Is this a good time to remind the widdle gNOpigs which country has been the top gold producer for about the last 4 years?

For all his bitchin and cryin’ ‘cuz he loves ‘Murkha sooooooo much, has the Baboon EVER pointed out this little fact?

Keep buying gold, widdle gNOpigs; even in your paranoid nightmares you are making money for others SMARTER than you.

is Col.Buzzcut still selling Bomb shelters and Survival Kits too????

China is NOT buying gold.

China has been the world’s gold top producer for about the last 4 years and selling it in the INTERNATIONAL open market.

Chavez begun repatriating gold and currency reserves in fear of a dick move by the USA or the U.N. seizing such assets and crippling Venezuela’s ability to trade with other countries NOT participating in the sanctions.

Obviously you don’t see why China and Chavez would do that. The cost of running a mining operation can be calculated and included in a budget. As the sales price of the product keeps rising, the profit keeps increasing.

George Soros Dumps Nearly $800 Million In Gold

He also liquidated a 5 million share stake in the iShares Gold Trust
(IAU.P: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the filings showed. His
total holdings in gold-backed ETFs was $774 million as of December.

I fail to see where Geore Soros is peddling gold coins.

Goldline is also a sponsor of the Music Choice cable channels, based on a few times I watched one of them recently.

“The complaint charges theft by false pretenses, false advertising, and conspiracy”

Glenn Beck involved in, in…falsehoods?

I can’t beleve it!

Hey, Pablo…

See that guy in the tree across the street? It’s ATF.

They’re coming for you: WACO STYLE!!!!

HA HA!

I, for one, would hate to see Pablo “creatively destroyed.”

If you need a bailout–come see me…

I got you!

See?

The GOP scams their own people better than anybody! How about Palin?

And when Obama got elected, the gun and ammo industry floated all that bull$hit that Obama was confiscating ammo and was against the 2nd Amendment. What happened?

Record sales of, you guessed it, guns and ammo!!!

Ha Ha!

The GOP should be declared a terrorist organization: send those folks who are on stage everyweek to Guantanamo, and send all the red states a few cruise missles for good measure!

Looking at your 15 posts on this page have you realized that you only have 2 other nut jobs that like what you have posted?

Boo!  The sky is falling!!!

LOL.  You have no idea how the BBB works.  Typical liberal.  No sense of money, economics, or how the real world works.

Here’s the crucial information Mediaite won’t tell you.

The price of gold the day Obama got elected = $652 per ounce
The price of gold today = $1,726 per ounce

In other words, the people who followed Beck’s advice and bought gold have made a huge return.  And Beck was right to predict that Obama’s disastrous economic policy would end up trashing the dollar and spurring a run on gold — that’s all proven by the facts.  But don’t expect to see any of the real facts about the performance of gold during the Obama era on this web site.

Appeal to Popularity.

Seriously, what’s the point of your comment?  Mediaite constructs articles and headlines to receive pagehits; pageshits are ad revenues.  The easiest means of achieving this is to focus on perceived controversial figures onto whom derision is meant to be heaped; such an article is this.   For the vast majority of articles, the intended audience is progressives, as is in keeping with Dan Abrams politics.  I write what I write to make points to neutrals or those of fair mind that might lean slightly left who read without commenting.  I don’t intend to change the minds of folk who’re so rabidly partisan that they take to commentary pages to dump their partisanship (most of whom are of an older crowd and set in their views) but they’re occasionally useful as foils.  If I were shooting to rack up likes, all I’d do is insult the other side with snappy insulting one-liners – as a good many progressives who post here do – on pages targeted towards conservatives. But that doesn’t change people’s minds, now, does it?

Clear thinking?

Felix, you ultimate ignorant cat turd.

The price of gold and currencies is SET by the global trading market, not by one paranoid moron selling gold coins and survival seeds.

How stupid are you to ignore the Wally St crash started in early October, 2007, due to Wally St. announcing they could not meet their responsibilities.

Congratulations, Felix you cat turd. You’ve reached a sht flinging Baboon low for such amazing display of stupidity. Have you seen the returns on underground shelters and survival seeds?

What run on the dollar, you moron gNOPigs. The USA dollar keeps trending up and down in a steady channel. If the whole world were in a panic, ALL OTHER CURRENCIES would be worthless too.

Let me explain it again for you MORON gNOpigs. If the gold prices were directly connected to the USA dollar performance, 3 years ago and today the USA dollar would have been considered WORTHLESS in the INTERNATIONAL markets. Along with OTHER WORLD CURRENCIES.

GUESS WHAT, gNOpig MORONS. Bich about cents up and down, but the USA dollar remains THE BENCHMARK, along with the Euro, along with the Yuan, and the Yen, and the CA dollar.

For the last slap, Felix, CHINA has been the world’s top gold producer for about the last 4 years.

By your, and the Baboon’s, stupid logic China ought to be demanding payments in gold for their merchandise and paying in WORTHLESS USA dollars.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Gold was at $600 in 2007 and I invested then.
Now, gold is at approximately $1800, I guess whoever suggested that I invest should be given kisses.

By the way, you lefties STILL going to suggest that the dollar is STILL stable? Frelling MORONS!

If you think about it this explains why Beck is moving to Texas, conservaligious rethugs will protect him from being held accountable when he is brought before a judge, in a state where he will be innocent of all charges (except being a cult driven Mormon of course) because he is a card carrying conservative Whacko. Talk about a mentally tainted jury pool.

From the minds of leftists, where conservative views are crimes.

Let ‘em tell you how tolerant they are again!

Your ignorance is overwhelming.  You couldn’t even read my comment successfully.  Where do I say that Glenn Beck sets the world gold price?   I could refute every statement you make in your mindless post, but it would hardly be worth the trouble.  Just correcting your spelling and grammar would be a full time job.

Actually, Dustin & Paleoconservatarian, I do know how the BBB works. I have my own Home Repair & Remodeling Business. I looked into the BBB to see what they look at when giving a business their ratings. I also know how economics work, and have a great sense of money. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to keep my small business going. And I hate to break this to you, but i’m not a liberal. I’m fiscally conservative, and socially progressive. So, I don’t fit into any specific ideology. I research and research until I flesh the facts out, and then make a judgement based on facts. Maybe that’s something you both should look into, because you both look dumb just going off of your pure emotions, and preconcieved notions of people based off of what they say in a post. And Dustin, I did want to thank you for confirming what I expected to be said by people like you. It’s a natural reflex by many(not all) conservatives to blame any negative story about a conservative on liberals, or the liberal media, or to just call me a liberal b/c I don’t agree with you. And if you want to see that I was right about the BBB, watch the clip i’ve posted below      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo8kfV9kONw

What are you? an employee of Goldline? Maybe you didn’t read my whole post, but I never said anything about gold being a bad investment. What I said is a bad investment is to buy “rare” gold coins that are marked up 40% when you buy them. Would you not agree that it’s better to buy gold bullion, or bars, rather than buy gold coins that are marked up 40%???

Wow. Godwin’s law. Who would have expected that?
