Talking Points Memo reports that Bill O’Reilly has defended the gold seller Goldline from accusations by Congressman Anthony Weiner that the company is largely a scam:
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) went head-to-head with Bill O’Reilly last night over the Democrat’s attack on Goldline and conservative pundits like Glenn Beck who have ties to the gold seller.
“Defending someone that gouges consumers? You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” Weiner scolded O’Reilly.
Last week, Weiner (D-NY) released a report that said Goldline “uses aggressive sales tactics, conservative spokespeople and rhetoric to sell over-priced gold coins to unsuspecting consumers.” He also excoriated what he called the “unholy alliance between Goldline and conservative pundits.”
Beck had appeared on O’Reilly’s show last Friday, chomping on a hot dog and defending Goldline against Weiner’s charges, citing the company’s A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau. “It’s almost like Weiner is going after something else,” Beck said, before adding “maybe” and pointing to himself.

Sure O’Reilly is always “looking out for you.” But hey–Corporate Sponsors FIRST, then the viewers! As Beck proved-high ratings–without sponsors and you’re on borrowed time.

Years ago I bought from Goldline when a newbie to gold. Yes – they are great sales people for the naive. That was my first purchase and knew nothing. Its been a few years and I’ve gotten better about where to find the best price and value. recommend calling 3 companies and asking questions. If your looking for overall great company check our RegalGoldCoins.

If you want to hedge or speculate with gold, do yourself a favor and use a gold ETF. Something like the SPDR Gold Trust. It is far safer, cheaper and more convenient than owning physical gold.
