    Lol John Stewart is on point lately...this is too much

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/1..._n_388362.html

    With the value of gold on the rise, Jon Stewart was determined to get to the bottom of what may have caused the increase. The likely fanner of these flames: yep, Glenn Beck.

    After noting that gold goes up when people are panicked or concerned, Stewart sat back and enjoyed the greatest hits from "Beck's hour-long nightly fear-cast." That alone wouldn't be enough to credit Beck for initiating this gold rush, but his role as spokesman for Goldline, an internet site where you buy gold, surely sealed the deal. Stewart recapped:

    "Glenn Beck is paid by Goldline to drum up interest in gold, which increases value during times of fear; an emotion reinforced nightly on Fox by Glenn Beck."
    Calling Beck's ethics into question, Stewart finished by stating, "You can't spell 'gold' without G-O-D."



    Check the clip from the show on the link, good stuff.

    Wow. What a scandal. Next thing you know famous basketball players will start taking money from local supermarkets to try and persuade fans to shop there.

    Nobody cares because it's not a big deal. You are only pretending to care here because it involves a source that you don't like.

    he said it didn't matter to me because i just don't like the guy.

    1. it does matter to me. i buy gold every week.

    then he says "so"?

    2. i never mentioned the guy (beck). i commented on the tactic. they use fear to promote their agenda.



    some people never learn.

    By "source", I was talking about Glen Beck, not the gold. You apparently have a problem with Beck using fear to promote something, but not anyone else. At least not that I've noticed.

    Lot's of people use fear to promote an agenda. Any particular reason why you've waited until now to single out Glen Beck for using it?

    i didn't wait until now.

    any opposition to the empire is labeled "terrorist".

    and i saw a guy at the UN that used a vile of baby powder and some cheap ass grade school animation to promote their agenda.


    some people can't find comfort without fear.
