Jim Cramer Calls Democrats "Bolsheviks," House "Pelosi's Own Little Politburo" (VIDEO)

CNBC's Jim Cramer decided Friday to 'speculate on Washington' -- specifically, the Employee Free Choice Act. He says he has no doubt the bill, which makes it easier for workers to form unions, will pass the House, which "might as well be Nancy Pelosi's own little Politburo." He also calls Democrats "Bolsheviks" before correcting himself. Cramer goes on to claim that passing the legislation would set us back "who knows how many months" in fighting the recession.

Cramer knows these things. He's Lenin's great grandson after all.

I love that your last name is Weiner, you are cute AND smart, yet I am still able to be distracted by how ignorant Jim Cramer acts to get ratings..

NOt that I've ever put any stock in this cheerleader, but this just proves he's a lackey of the corporations. They don't want EFCA, so neither does he. Show me evidence that it will set us back. Is it because it will require Wal-mart (or whomever) to pay livable wages? That will extend the depression, huh? What, by putting money in the pockets of those who need it most instead of the rich people he supports (and who support his standard of living)?
He is, effectively, an embedded "journalist" and the financial industry is the group of soldiers keeping him alive. There will never be objective analysis (or journalism) under this system.

CNBC is rapidly disintegrating into a hotbed of disloyal right wing extremists. They've become the Joe McCarthy network

This network is going to unleash some totally unglued right wing nuts, who are going to end up causing tragedies.

As the saying goes, have they no sense of decency and honesty?

I fail to understand why anyone takes his advice. He just questioned IBM's deal to buy Sun- calling Sun a hardware company. Sun is more than just hardware- Java code and Open Office are also a part of the deal.

Wow Jim, employees who bailed out your Wall Street heroes trying to form unions? Oh my, there goes the neighborhood. In Cramer we trust. NOT!

Aren't "workers" taxes bailing out these miserable failures?

Corporate welfare from the collective is acceptable so long as these entitled losers aren't required to give anything of worth back to the drones they receive it from. I get it.
A little Bolshevik ethic goes a long way only if the financial high echelon is on the receiving end. Otherwise it's the work of the devil.

I saw a memo on on a cab company's wall the other day advising dispatchers that "...you don't have to put up with complaining drivers." These drivers are not employees, per se, but "independent contractors" and the backbone of this particular business whose only true "customers" are the drivers that lease the cabs. That is the mentality we are fighting here.

Ah, at last! They've tiptoed around it for weeks and now someone has finally played the Bolshevik card. Next stop, "Nancy Pelosi's momma wears combat boots!"

Alrighty, then. Where were we?

Worker rights might 'set back the recovery for months'. And how much did Wall Street, Banking, Rating Agencies, Insurance and ,Cramer's favorite, Hedge Funds set back 10's of million of families retirement funds?

My thoughts exactly. I guess we should all just work in a sweat shop so we can manufacture the goods in the U.S. that Walmart imports from China?

I have often had the feeling that Cramer uses loudness to mask a lack of brains, his latest
moronic statement confirms my suspicions.

Condemnation from Cramer should be considered high praise. After all, his opinion is so wrong that if he dislikes you then you must be doing something right.

Hey Jim, how do you see the future of Bear Stearns now? Still rosy? Still too early to give up on them?

Epic Flail, Epic Fail Jim.
