Turnow Pooh-Bah Registered: 12/03/08 Posts: 1950 Loc: Xalapa, Veracruz Mexico	Here's a link to an LA Times report. The money quote from the report. Quote: Buying into fear But even some of those who have been making lots of money selling gold concede that the appeal goes beyond mere reason. Peter Epstein, president of Merit Financial Services, told Politico that his firm had advertised on CNN but that the gold message resonated more with Fox's viewers "because it's the angry white man audience -- it's the conservative audience. . . . They are distrustful of the government, of the regime." That sort of thinking might not lead to the soundest decisions, some gold professionals told me. "When people buy into the fear and flock into one thing, it's only a matter of time before it turns," said Matt Zeman, a metals trader at Chicago-based LaSalle Futures Group. Indeed, since last week's high of $1,218, gold had dropped Tuesday to $1,143, Zeman noted, adding: "I think the wheels could really come off the gold bandwagon." It really is no surprise that Beck is a pimp and a whore. Edited by Turnow (12/12/09 12:37 PM) _________________________ Strive for the ideal, but deal with what's real.

It's pretty obvious. But it was still funny. I loved the "gold has gone up $50 just during this show!" line. He's such a hack. _________________________ "If a 'right' exists for me, but not for thee, then it's not a right but a privilege.' - Fred Clark

funkycamper Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/08/08 Posts: 4992	And carpetbagger? The other day I re-watched an old favorite movie, Andy Griffith playing totally against type...and, wow, he could act!...in the compelling A Face in the Crowd about a guy who fools everybody with his folksy humor and political commentary. But the man behind the mask is evil, manipulative and almost achieves the role of president-maker before he's unmasked. The character, Lonesome Rhodes, really does remind me of Beck. Anyway, it's an amazing Elia Kazan film just a tiny notch below "On the Waterfront" and well worth seeing as it was made in 1957 before TV had attained the sophistication we see today and is prescient in that it shows how celebrity can be manipulated with a good public relations team and handlers so that people appear to be what they're not, and the power of TV to do this particularly well. _________________________ "If a 'right' exists for me, but not for thee, then it's not a right but a privilege.' - Fred Clark
