Top 5 five Liberals

This is an excellent analysis of Ricardo

 Rick Sanchez of CNN is one bizarre character. He talks to the audience like they’re mentally disabled (though it is CNN, so perhaps this is forgivable) and he has this annoying habit of narrating what he’s going to do on the show: “Coming up, I’m going to show you a picture of the BP oil well. You will see oil seeping from the well; it will frighten you; it will be awe-inspiring. Producer Joe, why don’t you bring up that picture on the screen for my audience.” Hey, Rick, just show the damn picture.

Beyond his amateur news delivery, Sanchez is a liberal who is notorious for presenting half-truths and innuendo to his (meager) audience. In an effort to demonize Republicans last month, Sanchez tried to tie big oil to the GOP—but, of course, he omitted the fact that President Obama in 2008 received mega-bucks from BP. 

And who could forget Sanchez’s attack on Latinos who work at Fox News. On his Twitter account, Sanchez wrote: “do u know how much money i’d make if i’d sold out as hispanic and worked at fox news, r u kidding, one problem, looking in mirror. if i didn’t believe in doing right thing, i’d be rich anchoring at fox news.” 

The implication, of course, is that Latinos who work for the evil conservative Fox News are sell outs. Do you trust a man who thinks like this to accurately analyze the stories of the day?

Of course… Sanchez and Weiner aren’t really all that interested in them or that particular company. And when they do it, and interview gold spokespeople… it’s not political, and there’s no “fear” to be had. Sure… it’s yet another double standard. But what else did you expect from these folks?

FOX NEWS: WE NEVER PERMIT A HALF TRUTH. THE WHOLE LIE AND NOTHING BUT THE WHOLE LIE.

Swinish Democrats at work:

Starting Jan. 1, 2012, Form 1099s will become a means of reporting to the Internal Revenue Service the purchases of all goods and services by small businesses and self-employed people that exceed $600 during a calendar year. Precious metals such as coins and bullion fall into this category…
This provision…was included in the health care legislation ostensibly as a way to pay for it…
So every time a member of the public sells more than $600 worth of gold to a dealer, Piret said, the transaction will have to be reported to the government by the buyer…
With spot market prices for gold at nearly $1,200 an ounce, Heller estimates that he’ll be filling out between 10,000 and 20,000 tax forms per year after the new law takes effect.

Of course the melt value of a collectible coin is a hell of a lot lower than the value of a non-melted coin, you moron. What sort of idiot finds that surprising?

Stupid Weiner or Lying Weiner? You make the call.

And timy hits the stupid lottery again

Bootleghaircut’s Rule #4 of Dealing with Unihnged Conservative posters-”they will eventually call you gay”.

Eventually after having lost an argument using all available talking points, but sometimes used at the beginning of an argument to forstall looking completely stupid -conversatives without fail will insinuate in some way that you are a homosexual. This is their tertiary attack and a reliable fallback. Sometimes they wil single out another poster who agrees with you other times they will create a “boyfriend meme”. the best of these kind of attacks are actually related to the topic at hand. Once a conservative has gone this route its best non to re-engage with them as they have exhausted the sum total of their knowledge and are now relying on feudian aspects from their subconscious which they project onto who ever has gotten under their skin and or publically embarrassed them. If a female goes for this line of attack do not attempt a rejoinder as clearly the female conservative is no “real lady” and should be left alone. If a male conservative attempts this you are allowed a certain allotment of posts to either refute of counter attack with slurs about his linage, ancestors, and or lack of intelligence but the best course of action is simply to walk away from such a cretin.

And Rick, nobody else cares about this. Even MSNBC saw that there was no there there.

Give me a break…It’s not about Goldline, there is a smear campaign from the desprate radical left against Sir Glenn Beck that is successful exposing their faltered agenda. God bless Glenn…God bless America… God bless capitalism.” Rules for Radicals” is for a small minority and the Majority is winning. Move to Venezuela or Cuba and you may find success in your efforts and you will be much happier but not in AMERICA.

Yes, and it’s coming from a sitting Congressman and a sitting District Attorney and a sitting City Attorney. It also involves the completely deceitful tactic, that even Rick Sanchez figured out, playing mix the lousy company with the good one and “investigate” both while citing “total complaint numbers” of the two. All to pressure a political voice they don’t like, with the full power of their respective taxpayer funded offices.

Whereas Andrew Breitbart posts a truncated video on his privately owned website, and he’s the devil himself.

Why must you “gay bait?” Always throwing around the “you’re calling someone gay,” even though they’re not.

For someone who rails against alleged “race baiters,” you’d think you’d be more careful.

Weiner is nothing but a hot dog who has mustered up the nerve to catch up with the worst of his obnoxious cohorts . He does this with relish , while acting like the brat he is .

Via Weiner Facts:

ABC is continuing its Weiner inspired Goldline-jihad today with a story heavily relying on a reporter from Consumer Reports, Noreen Perrotta. Wow–that seems pretty credible, no? I mean, it’s not like the reporter at Consumer Reports is some sort of left-wing lunatic…right? A Weiner-tipper says otherwise…

Let’s examine the quotes given to ABC next to the likes on the Facebook page belonging to Noreen Perrotta and see what we find!

“Maybe if you’re worried about Armageddon you might consider it good advice,”

Noreen Perrotta LIKES: ”Barack Obama”

“I don’t think in this case that Goldline offered the best deal.”

Noreen Perrotta LIKES: “Media Matters for America”

Consumer Reports initiated its own look at Goldline after seeing the company’s television ads in heavy circulation during 24-hour news broadcasts on CNN and Fox News, and hearing about initial concerns raised by Rep. Anthony Weiner, a New York Democrat.

Noreen Perrotta LIKES: ”I would rather have immigrants living here than racists.”

“Most financial advisors say five to ten percent of your portfolio in gold is a good inflation hedge,”

Noreen Perrotta LIKES: “REPEAL THE BAN – END “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

“Is it good advice? I don’t think it’s good advice.”

Noreen Perrotta LIKES: “Consumer Reports”

Is this really Noreen Perrotta from Consumer Reports’ Facebook page?? We here at WeinerFacts have no reason to doubt it, but doubt it we do. After all, we know Weiner and Weiner-loving reporters would NEVER let their hardcore ideology get in the way of honesty.

Surely, its a coincidence–just another Noreen Perrotta that likes Consumer Reports. And, there’s no way ABC News would write an entire article based on her opinions and not mention she has an ultra-left wing ideology. I mean, that’s impossible!

Plus, a Consumer Reports reporter can’t possibly be this hot. So–we consider this myth: busted.

*Update: After this WeinerFacts investigation, Noreen has mysteriously hidden her Facebook likes from the public. I wonder why? Luckily, we took the screenshot below!

IF you lefties are actually interested, you may want to take a gander at Weiner Facts:

I defy Glenn Beck to dispute the premise of the report.” -Weiner- part 4

http://www.weinerfacts.com/weiner/?p=442

Please feel free to point out anything Glenn got wrong.

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

http://www.weinerfacts.com/weiner/?p=344

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

http://www.weinerfacts.com/weiner/?p=369

There’s been alot of talk from you lefties condemning Glenn, so I’d love to get your thoughts on his rebuttal.

i’m kinda torn on this one…i saw the report on nightline and really feel for those older people loosing their life savings…i bet those goldline reps spend a lot of time on the best way to get someone to buy the lesser quality commemorative coins…deception 101?

John,
What’s pitiful, is you can’t refute one thing from it, so you resort to shooting the messager, as you ALWAYS do. You’d do better to just pretend like you just didn’t see my post. Now everyone knows you aren’t able to actually argue against Glenn’s total dismantling of Mr. Weiner.

And there goes good evidence and a good point flying by… missing them completely. And their hate walks on.

“I mean good grief, anyone that idolizes Glenn Beck can’t be in their right mind.”

John you have to think long term-Beck is critical to continued democratic victories because of two key factors which will become clearer as we get to 2012.

1. Beck is actually a libertarian who will in the end will split the GOP by trying to purge moderate republicans. The more people he drives from the big tent in seach of ideological purity the better for us.

2. Beck is critical to the Tea Party’s media success and we as liberals need the tea party more than Republicans realize. We want to encourage the Tea Party Liberatrian to take the GOp reins out of the hands of social conservatives and run the GOP.

Think of it this way would you rather have a tea party controlled GOP focused on making government more efficient or would you rather have a GOP run by social conservatives bitching about abortion and the culture war? The Tea Party small goverment rhetoric is a welcome change from the jerry fallwell bullshit they were trying to push on us through the moral majority and compassionate conservatism(although I do miss compassionate conservatives).

I love it when people(in this case myopic conservatives and Anthony Weiner driving the stupid bus) think there is “something to debate” in what is obviously a NON-ISSUE.

Really? You think that elected officials abusing their offices to attack a private citizen they don’t like is a NON-ISSUE?

Oh, they’re Democrats. Silly me.

1. If a liberal says something then every liberal thinks it without question

while on the other hand..

2. If a conservative says nonsense three conservatives will leap up to affirm it no matter how stupid.

A smart liberal, if you’ll forgive my oxymoron, would want the latter. That way, they can scream about Godhumping racist warbots who want to dominate every uterus in the nation. It’s worked for all these years.

Remember folks… a Democrat foolishly attacking a private citizen (like Beck) isn’t worth talking about, and anyone who does talk about it, is dumb. Nevermind the Democrat doing the attacking… they are to be left alone.

The same goes for Democrats who are in big trouble with bi-partisan committees, like Rangel. Don’t talk about them either.

And if you do talk about any of that… you’ll either be a racist, or race baiting. In other words, unless you agree with John T or Bootsy, you probably shouldn’t talk ever. It’s agreeing with them that’s important… your opinion… not so much.

That strategy is just to disrupt all conversations, insult people who disagree with them, and name call without facts. They just want to annoy, that way nobody really talks about the issues.

By golly, you’re right. They are.

Are they really sponsors, or do they run commercials during those hours on your cable provider? There’s a big difference. I get commercials for local gold selling “investments” here when I watch just about any channel.

But about Sanchez, I don’t personally think he’s a very good communicator of news. Nor do I find his segments poignant or usually even informative. This clip reinforced that for me.

Just goes to show how tastes vary – there are obviously plenty of people that enjoy his show and find him interesting.

If anyone who thinks this company and Beck are out to confiscate their savings they should listen to one of Glenn’s spots. He spends a large amount of time talking people out of purchasing, it seems. He states it should only be a portion of their porfiolio, they should only buy if they feel it is right for them, do the research first, and pray on their decision before purchasing. Plus, I don’t know that I have heard anything in a Goldline ad that I have not also heard from numrous other gold sellers. So why single out this company? As Weiner has said, it’s not about Glenn, of course.

Well precisely, buying gold coins from Goldline is so expensive that it negates the point.

Hmmm…. Buying gold from Gold line=Getting ripped off.

Sounds like someone is Jealous in the fact that they can’t compete with relieving the masses of their hard earned money….

Well, the regime is at it again:

SEC Says New FinReg Law Exempts It From Public Disclosure

Under a little-noticed provision of the recently passed financial-reform legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission no longer has to comply with virtually all requests for information releases from the public, including those filed under the Freedom of Information Act.

The law, signed last week by President Obama, exempts the SEC from disclosing records or information derived from “surveillance, risk assessments, or other regulatory and oversight activities.” Given that the SEC is a regulatory body, the provision covers almost every action by the agency, lawyers say. Congress and federal agencies can request information, but the public cannot.

That argument comes despite the President saying that one of the cornerstones of the sweeping new legislation was more transparent financial markets. Indeed, in touting the new law, Obama specifically said it would “increase transparency in financial dealings.”

The SEC cited the new law Tuesday in a FOIA action brought by FOX Business Network. Steven Mintz, founding partner of law firm Mintz & Gold LLC in New York, lamented what he described as “the backroom deal that was cut between Congress and the SEC to keep the SEC’s failures secret. The only losers here are the American public.”

Buying gold coins is expensive, period. And that’s what Weiner’s complaint is, that coins are an expensive way to buy gold. But they’re not the only way Goldline sells gold. I still don’t see how you figure Beck has some obligation to provide financial advisory services.

No, Goldline marks up their products and inflates them with “value added” “perks”. I was pointing out that you can invest in gold without buying the overpriced products they’re pushing (which happen to be coins).

Also, I never suggested that Beck, or any spokesperson, should act as a financial advisor in these maters. If I suggested such a thing, believe me, I didn’t intend to. What I did suggest is that if they really cared about the financial well being of their viewers, they would not mislead them.

Gold has always been a sound investment, but if Glenn Beck says it is, then it must be a lie. If Glenn Beck said people need water to survive, the left would argue that they don’t.

No, Goldline marks up their products and inflates them with “value added” “perks”.

Such as?

I was pointing out that you can invest in gold without buying the overpriced products they’re pushing (which happen to be coins).

Sure, you could buy bullion from them as well. But “overpriced” is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to collectible pieces. They’re worth what the market will bear, and if you can get a particular coin at a better price elsewhere, well, you’ve done your shopping properly. The fact that I can get stuff cheaper on Ebay than I can at Best Buy does not mean Best Buy is a ripoff.

What I did suggest is that if they really cared about the financial well being of their viewers, they would not mislead them.

Which insinuates that Beck has done so. On what do you base that insinuation?

No, Goldline marks up their products and inflates them with “value added” “perks”.

Oh, any company that doesn’t mark its products up doesn’t stay in business. Do you have an expectation that there’s no profit packed onto the price of anything you buy?

Sigh

One of Weiner’s moronic contentions is that GoldLine dares sells collectible coins at a price that exceeds the current gold market value. In other words he believes that a coin minted 100 years ago should be priced the same as a coin minted this this year if the content is the same. If that dolt cannot grasp the concept of a collectible market then he has no business questioning the pricing of the company.

Any commodity has inherent risks. I think it’s just that GoldLine happens to sponsor Mr. Beck’s program that has Weiner’s panties in a twist. It’s like huffpo calling for a boycott of all of Mr. Beck’s sponsors. It’s not that I believe GoldLine is the best or only way to purchase gold–it is merely ONE way to do so. The wise investor shops around and makes the most prudent decision. “Caveat Emptor.”

But, we have the royal queen babbling incoherently.

Wasn’t there a Goldline advertisement on Mediaite?

in case any of you haven’t seen this:
http://i.imgur.com/Hbwq1.jpg

there definitely is a connection between glenn beck’s fearmongering statements about inflation, and the coming ‘hard times ahead’, and his promotion of goldline.

which is what makes him such a valuable sponsor for goldline,
and such a ‘target’ for the left.
