2. So a 90% markup on gold coins is a good thing?
I'm confused.

4. So, perhaps you could explain?
I'd appreciate it. I've seen these ads on liberal and conservative shows, and I watched Olberman's clip. What's up?

6. A 90% "premium" is insane
A one ozt gold American Eagle should have no more a $50 to $70 premium over "spot" (melt) value, less for good shoppers. A $1000 premium (about 90%) is what Goldline allegedly charges. They are charlatans taking advantage of unsophisticated buyers.

13. That seems pretty clear to me.
I've heard gold ads on Ed and David Sirota's shows too. I wonder how their companies stack up?

20. do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate
Edited on Wed May-19-10 10:11 PM by liberation
flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, dude, children's ice cream. And why are they putting them chemicals there for? Mind control dude. And the best solution is a strong gold backed currency or something. Why gold? Because Gold has anti-commie magical powers, is the only way to restore our once glorious, and fairest of them all, free market!

(maybe that is what's affecting him?)

ZOA Praises Democratic Members Of Congress For Publicly Opposing Obama's Pressure On Israel

April 30, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Morton A. Klein
Phone: 212-481-1500 Print | Email

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has praised several Democratic Members of Congress for speaking out publicly in opposition to President Barack Obama and his Administration’s exerting relentless and inappropriate pressure on Israel.

Following the Obama’s Administration’s public repudiation by White House spokesman Robert Gibbs of criticism over its policy towards Israel from Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) issued a statement saying, “Israel is our closest ally in the region, yet they continue to receive more criticism than deserved and less support than is required. Instead of continuing to lash out publically at our closest ally, the Obama Administration should be listening to what Senator Schumer says. Schumer is right, and the White House is wrong on Israel” (‘Weiner: “Schumer is Right, White House is Wrong on Israel,”’ Weiner News Release, April 23, 2010).

17. Not a thing. It has to do with Weiner's religion.
Apparently if you are Jewish, you have no credibility on any issue.

18. I wish they were more specific about the markup.
Edited on Wed May-19-10 06:01 PM by AtheistCrusader
On what? I just called for a quote just to see, and they wanted $1,245 for bullion like a SA Krugerrand, which the spot price is two bucks less than the price from NorthWest Territorial Mint, $1,246.97.

Is it a gold fund or something? What are they selling that is overpriced? The collectors coins? Overpriced by what measure, it's a collectors thing.

I don't understand what's overpriced after watching that.

Edit: To be clear, I get the immoral nature of the way the commentators are fomenting over-valuation of gold, when their business partners sell gold, and advertise gold with them.

19. A brilliant political strategist
Edited on Wed May-19-10 08:40 PM by HisTomness
Anthony Weiner is taking on Goldline, et al under the auspices of consumer protection, and rightly so.

In the process, he threatens advertising revenues mainly for conservative commentators, hence Beck's crybaby routine. He also casts serious doubt on those commentators' motives toward their listening audience. Finally (and a little poignantly), he ends up fighting to protect people many of whom probably cannot stand him and his ilk.

This guy doesn't just fire bullets - he lines up his shots.
In ten years he will be one of the most powerful men in America (for what that'll be worth).
