Fool's Gold

All those right wing nuts who tell you that America's streets are paved with gold, that with only a bit of gumption and effort you too can be a millionaire, are pushing this scam:



Glen Beck should be in jail. He is preying on the stupid and the vulnerable.

Is is any surprise that "Republicans" are pro business? They are pro-fill-their-own-pockets by treating everybody else as a sucker.

Think of the line-up of big shot "pro business" Republicans who push this scam? Glen Beck, Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee... a rogue's gallery of right wing parasites.

Congress Formally Opens Investigation into Goldline & Other Shady Gold Dealers

New York, NY – Rep. Anthony Weiner (D – Queens & Brooklyn) and House Commerce Subcommittee Chairman Bobby Rush (D – Chicago) formally announced a hearing of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection to investigate the business practices of Goldline International, a precious metals dealer that uses aggressive sales tactics and conservative spokespeople such as Fox News’ Glenn Beck to sell overpriced gold coins. Weiner and Rush sent a letter to Goldline requesting information in preparation for the hearing.

In May, Rep. Weiner’s office released a report outlining problems with Goldline

Among the Key Findings of Rep. Weiner’s Report: (Full Report CLICK HERE)
  • Goldline Grossly Overcharges For Their Coins

  • Goldline Falsely Claims To Offer “Good” Investments

  • Goldline Salespeople Misrepresent Their Ability To Give “Investment Advice”

  • Goldline Plays off Public Fears of Government Takeover and Has Formed an Unholy Alliance with Conservative Pundits to Drive a False Narrative
