Like all rightwingers, Jim Crymore can dish it out - but he sure can't take it. By being such a jerk, he's just making it easier for Jon Stewart to make mincemeat out of him. Quit crying, Crymore!

Crymore will be on Jon Stewart's show tomorrow March 12th Thursday .. Be sure to watch it... It should prove interesting.

Cut him some slack

Jim Cramer is actually on record as being a Democrat. He's simply caught up in a job where being a goofball is in his job description. Being a stock "guru" is much like being a meteorologist. Neither knows what the f*%$ they are talking about. IMHO, all he's guilty of is being afraid to be on Jon's show which is understandable. Jon is sharp and has a fantastic way of making someone look stupid. Just ask Tucker Carlson.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hey Golfmonkey,

I've seen Jim claim his Democratic credentials.

I've watched him now and then over the years.

His tag line has always been: If only MY Party (the Democrats) would be REPUBLICAN, I would not have to hang my head so low.

Watch him a little longer and you may puke. He pushed Bush's economic policies both overtly and with subterfuge.

Jim

P.S. Miss ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you're right

It's been a while since I've watched his show because I can't take the cheesiness of it. Maybe he's turned for the worst. I just remember him during the '04 election doing interviews claiming that Bush was a disaster back then. If that's different now, then I stand corrected.

BTW, missed you all too...

I don't think...

...he believes the earth is 4 days old, but .............

Maybe that makes him a moderate?

But not in the Rush Limbaugh kind of way.

Name-calling makes you look juvenile

Look, I don't like Jim Cramer any more than the next guy, but calling him "Jim Crymore" makes you look like a 12-year-old. This "change-his-name-to-something-demeaning" tactic reminds me so much of the right-wing blogger attack posts, and I really don't think we should stoop to that level. Furthermore, it only ends up demeaning the name-caller and elevating the target in the eyes of anyone reading the post. Please don't do it.

Dvinas, is this true?

(I'm not trying to start a fight ;)

I just wonder if "theater" is not a part of the good fight?

I would hazard that the majority will NOT be reached with overt intellectual arguments alone (and we need a majority to get anything done in this country). Instead, if a particular personality trait causes some folks to gravitate to the Right, then that same trait must be used to bring them back.

I agree that such a tactic will then turn off those with opposite personalities. I would argue however that a balance, which yields a majority for positive change, involves SOME forays into non gentile techniques.

We will of course, all disagree about the details.

Jim

P.S. Welcome!

Lighten up for crying out

Lighten up for crying out loud. Called names in school were you? Big deal -- we have all been called silly names from time-to-time, and dealing with it is a part of growing as a person.

On his show, Crymore acts like a kid throwing a tantrum, so he is deserving of being called childish names. After his "woodshed" moment with Stewart, his co-workers are probably calling him poopy-head.
