Glenn Beck / Sean Hannity - backed gold fraud?

http://www.salon.com/2012/11/29/more_legal_trouble_for_beck_backed_goldline/

"Goldline specifically targets vulnerable consumers with sales tactics designed to pressure those consumers into buying products that would often result in the consumer losing over one-third of his or her investment the instant the purchase is made meaning that, even when the price of the precious metals increases, because these consumers were deceived into purchasing coins with mark-ups exceeding 50 percent, it could be years, if ever, before the consumer recoups, much less makes any profit on, the investment.”

Ouch! Hopefully Glenn and Sean are not personally endorsing this nonsense.....oh wait....

Incredibly easy people to deceive. If they weren't they wouldn't be listening to Hannity or Beck.
I can hear their sales pitch to advertisers ...
" Now Listen. We have the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet buying the bullshit we sell every day. How could you lose money selling your product to our listeners? Our entire audience is comprised of suckers. You can't lose."

Don't know the name of it, but it is different from the one Glenn and Sean advertise for.
