Hardball: Cramer and Buchanan on Gramm's Remarks

[KidA452]

Pat Buchanan is smart in regards to politics but dumb with economics

[tomrdee]

We do not have free trade.

We have managed trade.

Managed in favor of global corporations and against the people.

[tworag]

As others have commented - I usually abhorrently disagree with Pat Buchanan on his politics but he nails it here. Great commentary from Buchanan. Jim Cramer is an obnoxious joke.

[eagles0515]

I still cant believe people are against free trade. Read a fucking economics book for god's sake

[dchasse12]

Wow, that had to have been the most epic catfight ever between Cramer and Buchanan. Too bad it had to end. :'(

[renaldo999]

McCain: phony, unprincipled scumbag.

Jim Cramer: illiterate drunk moron at the local bar

Buchanan: greatest political commentator in America

[nobuyukinyuu]

Pat Buchanan, you set aside partisan politics for 10 minutes and then all of a sudden I find myself agreeing with practically everything you're saying. What's this world coming to?

[UGOTDAJACK]

I can't believe I'm actually doing this but...5 stars for Pat Buchanan

[hollyhoodjoe123]

I wonder when the media is going to question Gramm's patriotism for his disparging comments against America.

I forgot. You're patriotism only gets questioned if you are Black or a Democrat!!

[Torbon8372]

"aready"? What kind of word is that?

[LaneganMan1]

Pat Buchanan is a badass. Plain and simple.

[brawnymike]

Cramer offends the ears.

[BKDevious]

I have to agree with Pat on this one and I'm quoting this from him: What the hell is Jim Cramer talking about? Did he even mention about Anheuser Busch at all?

The stocks in the Retail sector has been hit hard and the result: Steve & Barry's filed for bankruptsy.

There's little to get back jobs from airline to banking sectors and everyone is feeling the pinch and what the hell Cramer said: Jobs will come back. WTF!?

Bottom line: Gramm and Buchanan is right. Cramer and McSame is wrong.

[swaggajee]

How the fuck does Jim Cramer have any credibility at all? He was one of the idiot douchebags that said to stick by BearStearn then like the next day it folded. Fucking retard.

[unmarkedX]

buchanan is wrong on the war and israel

thst's it

he is consistently right on on everything else

[RedShirtArmy]

Pat's exctly right. "Free trade" = the outsourcing of our jobs and industrial base. McCain's a fool.

[EchelonMonitor]

Yep--we need Fair Trade, not "Free Trade."

"Free Trade" means never having to say you're sorry--if you're Chinese.

[emilyek1]

One of the best exchanges on HB in quite a bit.

I'll be honest and say that it's depressing that Pat is totally untenable as a candidate, the 'Hitler should have won WWII' stuff notwithstanding.

[xxashyy]

He didnt say Hitler should have won WW2. If youd listen to what he's saying he was talking about Britain and the US shouldnt have been in the war. I have to agree because after WW2 Britain and US have become self proclaimed "World Policeman" to prevent another Hitler. Hitler is more dangerous now because of these policies, all because of WW2. If you listened to Pat maybe you get it.

[tomrdee]

I agree.

Look at what happened to the world we were to free from Germany and Japan. Eastern Europe fell to the Soviets and most of Asia fell to the Comunist. What was left? We had to protect what was once under the contol of Germany and Japan from the Comunists.

[drunk3director]

Pat Buchanan is the only famous Republican I like. He has a lot of pro-labor ideas, mainly on how free trade hurts us.

[ogjimkenobi]

Damnit Pat Buchanan, you keep saying things I actually agree with, which is very strange. Pat makes more sense than anybody in this piece.

[Wendy62]

True, very true. That says a lot about the piece, doesn't it?

[ho2cultcha]

when he he said 'we've never been more dominant', he was referring to corporate bosses and other republicans. and it's true, unfortunately.
