The Big Cat Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Jim Cramer get totally pwned tonight by John Stewart? I'm not saying Stewart was 100% right with all his attacks (though I agree with most of what he said). But MAN, Cramer had his tail tucked and acted ashamed the entire time, at some points he even sounds like he's on the verge of tears. I'll provide the link tomorrow once it's available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Ha, I just watched it. There was definitely a lot of Jim Cramer saying "you're right". I don't see what tears you are talking about though. I think that is exaggeration. I've never watched his show, but I don't see how he can go back to doing it without completely changing the format.

RkFast Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 You idiots have such a hard on for demonizing people, now youre demonizing DEMOCRATS, which Cramer is. But...he dared give Dear Leader a hard time on a policy issue. What a terrible thing to do! So Im sure there will be a derogatory billboard about him throw up in the heartland any moment now.

Wacka Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Cramer's ratings will shoot up. Rush got the preliminary ratings after they started attacking him and they're way up for him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Where was he being demonized? Everywhere. A very smart, but goofy TV stock guy is all of a sudden the poster child for whats wrong with the stock market, which is completely ridiculous. And worse is the notion that he "duped" everyone. Good God....I know NOTHING about the markets. I know how to piss off my wife, feed my kid and tune up my bicycles. Thats it. And even I was able to take that show and Cramers act for what it was. And be honest...he is now in this position becuase he and his cohort publicly came out against Obama's policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 And be honest...he is now in this position becuase he and his cohort publicly came out against Obama's policies. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. It's a one-way ticket to an extra 15 minutes of fame. Criticize Obama, get called out by Gibbs, make the rounds on TV and radio. Cramer is an idiot, not because he is a self-described lifelong Democrat, but because he let himself walk onto a set where he knew he was going to be ridiculed. But I do love the Democrats. They sure know how to piss on their own. And it makes for fun viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will GLADY stand corrected if the Bushies ever did it, but what is downright SCARY is the fact the WHITE HOUSE is going after Cramer, and Rush and anybody else who dares say a bad word about them.

There were specific calls that Cramer made (in his over the top Cramer way) which back-fired horrifically. Stewart also played footage of him saying how the system can be cheated. STEWART: You've become the face of this thing and that's incredibly unfortunate. Why is Cramer the face? Not because anyone forced it upon him in a devious act to eliminate dissenters, believe it or not. If anyone forced Cramer into it was his NETWORK--whom STEWART ATTACKS MORE THAN CRAMER. Furthermore, by adopting his persona, Cramer was CLEARLY trying to cater to the dollar dummies out there, aka 90% of Americans. So, if he's going to have that audience/influence, he better get his sh-t right, and not even HINT at his possible participation in nefarious financial activity. Please watch the segment or else refrain from commenting on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be good. And "everyone get on board the Obama train" qualifies for deep thought in that little head of yours. So why dont you and Cat go bang your heads together. It will sound like a bowling alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Anyone who based their investing on a television show got exactly what they deserved and to call Cramer out for it shows how easy it is to be a Monday morning quarterback. Why wasn't Stewart saying anything during the bull market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in CA Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I watched it, it was entertaining and all.... but I CANNOT stand the sycophantic applause that Stewart gets every time he makes a statement. For the love of God, let these two guys "debate" or talk or whatever, and save your orgasms- I mean applause for Stewart at the end of the segment.

Well lets start with your statement that "the fact the WHITE HOUSE is going after Cramer". Do tell, what White House rep or employee or anyone having anything to do with the White House has attacked Cramer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
