In a sign of just how much class the guy has, talk show host and treason clown, Glenn Beck, has lashed out against Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) by making fun of his name, in a campaign that drips with thinly-veiled anti-Semitism. Tuesday, the Jewish congressman had the gall to release an investigation into one of Beck’s biggest sponsors, Goldline International. The report claimed that the company has violated federal law by using misleading and deceptive practices to sell unwitting consumers overpriced gold coins. Weiner has asked both the FTC and the SEC to investigate.
Since then, Beck has been on something of a rampage. Beck has accused Weiner of engaging in McCarthyism and conspiring with the Obama administration to shut him down. And on Wednesday during his radio show, Beck asked his listeners to send in doctored photos of the congressman showing him with “his nose as a wiener.”
Now THAT”S a real “Weiner nose.” Feel free to send these images to www.weinerfacts.com
He said he welcomed any “Weiner facts” or photos of the congressman “in front of the wienermobile in front of his house, with his wiener dog, with his little wiener children.” (Media Matters has the clip here.) Submissions could be sent to a new website Beck just set up, www.weinerfacts.com, which seems to have crashed almost immediately after he called for the photos; it is no longer online.
Beck’s official limp-dick portrait.
Goldline is one of the few companies that still sponsor Beck‘s shows after most of the mainstream advertisers fled in the wake of his suggestion last year that President Obama was a racist, and Beck seems intent on protecting his sponsor regardless of how many of his listeners say they were ripped off by the company. But as a Mother Jones investigation also shows, Goldline has generated a host of complaints to the FTC about its business practices that indicate it was only a matter of time before the company ended up going the way of many of Beck’s other sponsors: in trouble with the government. Just last week, in fact, the Texas attorney general announced that he was charging TaxMasters, another Beck sponsor, with multiple violations of the Texas consumer protection and debt collection statutes.
From the AG’s press release:
“In the midst of a national economic downturn, TaxMasters used a nationwide marketing campaign to offer services for distressed taxpayers who needed help dealing with the IRS,” Attorney General Abbott said. “A state investigation and nearly 1,000 customer complaints indicate that the defendants routinely misled customers about the nature of their tax resolution service agreements— and worse— attempted to enforce those improper agreements through unlawful debt collection tactics. The state’s enforcement action seeks to prohibit the defendants from continuing to violate the law and seeks restitution for the financially struggling taxpayers who were harmed by the defendants’ unlawful conduct….
TaxMasters’ advertisements encourage taxpayers to call its toll-free number for a “free consultation” with a “tax consultant.” Court documents filed by the state indicate that callers are not connected to an employee qualified to give tax advice, but rather with a TaxMasters salesperson who recommends a “solution” for between $1,500 and $9,000 or more.
According to court documents, many callers were offered an installment plan so that they could pay the defendants’ fee over a specified period of time. However, callers who asked to see written terms and conditions prior to making a payment were informed that a credit card or bank account number is necessary to generate a written TaxMasters service contract. As a result, TaxMasters customers were unaware— and the defendants’ personnel did not have a practice of disclosing— multiple aspects of the TaxMasters service agreement that were harmful to taxpayers.
At this point, you have to really wonder: Which of Beck’s advertisers aren‘t running some kind of scam.

Great Job Dennis! You are absolutely right on regarding every point. Unfortunately, the idiots here who follow Beck will never understand the truth even if it introduces itself to them. This nation has too many red necked idiots who love to be let around by the nose and Jeff fits right in with them. These are the very same people who are doomed to repeat the mistakes of history. Your graduate degree servers you well and empowers you with the truth. People like Beck and his sychophants are part of what is wrong with this national as opposed to the solution.
Dennis is on the left wings payroll. He has posted his same rant word for word across the internet using different names in an attempt to slander conservative voices.
Americans need to wake up the fact that Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology and he mixes this with his personal make up as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian.
As someone with a graduate degree in religion, I can say with all qualifications that Mormonism fits all parameters of a cult and has none of the parameters of a religion. A cult is any group (regardless of its size) that interprets the doctrines of a religion in an unorthodox fashion. The problem here is the fact the most Christians do not understand the difference and they easily fall for the lies of Mormon missionaries when they come to one’s door.
On Beck’s radio show and Fox Network program he consistent demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD and indecisiveness. Alongside that reality, Glenn Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, has no college degree, has no qualifications and he is definitely not a true conservative. But then, what can anyone expect from someone who can’t find anything filthier than their own personal reflection. Since people like Beck cannot survive on the basis of any personal merits, they survive by putting others down with lies and half truths in order to feel good about themselves.
The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. To further complicate things and confuse people, Beck flippantly throws around Christian terms like “God”, “Jesus”,”Holy Spirit” as well as voices of other so called “Spirit Powers” on his radio talk show. Beck is a mormon in active standing with the mormon church and is not a Christian. Mormonism teaches many gods, that the god of the earth was once a man who attained godhood status, there is no trinity, the cross of Christ means nothing and that Jesus Christ and Satan were brothers.
Because Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, he is the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. The people who love what Beck says are no different than the impressionable sheep who loved every speech made by Adolph Hitler in his early years when he brought Germany into an era of economic prosperity These same sheep also blindly followed Hitler into one of the darkest chapters of world history.
Beck and the Fox Network both cater to the same lowest common denominator of demagoguery. Beck would not know the first thing about God as he is a mormon. Someone should ask him which of the many mormon gods he kept talking about during his argument with himself on Saturday on the square in DC. Like a typical dry alcoholic, Beck even lied on national television when he spoke about holding a document signed by George Washington. That event never took Place.
Unfortunately, people who love being led around by the nose do not realize that Beck is talking about a different god than that of Christianity, Judaism or Islam and that he has been a product of mormonism cultism from the day he started doing a radio talk show as an opinion pusher. You don’t have to have a degree in psychology to see that he exhibits all the signs of a dry alcoholic. The only reason this unstable impressionable idiot fell into mormonism was because the woman he wanted to have sex with would not do so unless they got first got married and from that point, they joined the mormon cult.
Glenn Beck is as big a charlatan as Joseph Smith or that 5th grade graduate (Charles T Russell) who started the Jehovah’s Witness cult. This is Glenn Beck in a very accurate and concise nutshell. Considering the fact that Becks personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. It will not surprise many of us when Beck’s next big thing is to come out of the closet and announce his homosexuality to the nation.
Simply put…he is just another predatory neocon who is pushing the buttons of very ignorant & impressionable people who love being told what to think and believe. We live in a period of history where it has become very socially acceptable to be stupid and follow extremist idiots like Glenn Beck, Adolph Hitler, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Chicanery and lies are their middle names.
Beck warns that we’re all going to burn.
And hypocritically Spits on Spitzer after his reported hiring by CNN. I mean, how can you trust a dude who has confessed to moral turpitude?
“I am the slime from your video oozing along on your living room floor…”
Mr. Beak, er, Beck certainly has a nose for self-serving outrage – One wishes that he might pick his scabs in a more seemly manner, of course.
;>)
Sheeeeetttt, Terry.
You scared me!
But, really, friend.
You deserve the special Photoshop award for all-time rendering of the male member in perilous conditions.
heh
S
Sorry, love. I’ll have to share that PS award with the turkey that sacrificed it’s neck for Beck’s sake. 👿
google ‘goldline scam’ or ‘goldline international scam’ and you’ll see that they’re nothing but ripoff artists.
I’m so … shocked.
Shocked. I. Say.
Terry, you’re scaring the children!
Goooowed! (Spoken Like Sonny Chiba in Kill Bill Volume I)
The children need to be scared. Beck is an anti-Semite, racist pig and doesn’t deserve to have a forum provided by the American people. Wake up, children.
