Regarding their infamous head-to-head earlier this year, Cramer said:

No one wants to suffer a beat-down. No one wants to be humiliated or embarrassed. I was shocked at [host Jon Stewart's] behavior. I wish he knew about my background, and I wish he knew about a lot of things that I had done, because I think he would've thanked me instead of attacked me...I think the attack on CNBC and the attacks on me were gravely misplaced. It was rather remarkable in that it was so clear that his goal was to just destroy me. One day he'll answer for it.

Cramer has been vocal about his displeasure with Stewart since their March meeting, but this excerpt is the first in which Cramer implies that he will be seeking payback for the treatment.

Jim Cramer is a snake oil salesmen. He is worse then Bernie Madoff because he tells lies on the air every day for his Wall Street handlers. Bernie ran a Ponzi scheme but wasn't in anyones face peddling it. I have watched CNBC for 20 years and for the last 8 years I watch it to do the "opposite of what they recommend" if I wanted to make money. They are a infomercial for Wall Street and our partly responsible in cheerleading for "changes to regulation" that nearly brought down the world financial markets. When will people realize that Wall Street has destroyed America for 95% of Americans and they are making billions. The top hedge fund manager in 2007 made 3.7 billion for himself and paid only 15% taxes(his name is John Paulson). When you make hundreds of millions it is not capitalism but STEALING. If the government taxed all income over 10 million at a 95% rate in the financial system, we would stop all the stealing because it wouldn't be profitable to skirt regulations to make obscene profits.

Does anybody actually pay attention to this guy anymore?

[Marcospinelli]

Cramer still doesn't get it. He was on the payroll and hawking Bear Stearns, "Trust me" he told his audience about Bear Stearns solvency, while he was making money off of those "trusts".

If there was any justice, he'd be facing charges and off the air for life.

Quit while you're behind, fool.

Does this guy not own a suit coat? I know the trader look is what he is going for but when you go on another show you try to look your best.

And Jim, John will eat your lunch any time you are ready.

GO BACK ON THE DAILY SHOW OR SHUT UP.

Don't make us run tape #212 again!!

Looking beyond Mr. Cramer, the real issue is CNBC. Beyond the bulls and bears, there are the sheep. This mouthpiece for GE has become Fox Light and, sometimes, Fox Not-So-Light in its often virulent Republican slant on the economy and the stock market.

Cramer and the rest of the sheepherders, the beautiful and intelligent Erin Burnett plays Little Bo Peep, spin their financial advice and comments through a political prism that shifts economic news to the distorted right.

Good luck to the suckers.

Cramer, why don't you go back on The Daily Show for another go-round?
Whiner.

Awwww....looks like someone's you-know-what is still stinging from that whooping he got from Stewart a while back.....I never see Cramer sit down anymore.......

[Arleen1]

Jim dear, this is about you not warning the American people. You have been touting your expertise in public, encouraging people to act based on information that you shared. The truth is many people believed what you said the facts were at the time without doing their own checking of the facts. If you did not place a disclaimer about the information that you share or if you didn't state that your show was just for entertainment value, you are responsible for many people's lives falling apart financially. Face it, what Jon said about you is true. It just hurt your feelings in a public venue. Look, some people are not around anymore since that time. You are still here. Lay low, regain your sense of pride in private. Going after Jon is not the answer to your pride. You will still be humiliated; still in public. Leave it alone. Get a life- a different life... a private life.

Ok, so he thinks that Stewart should have done a better job looking into his (Cramer's) history.

So does that mean that Cramer didn't see those clips that were an obvious sign that his history was investigated in full? Or that there is more that is hidden? Or what?

Cramer thinks he should have more of a 'self preservation instinct?" Wow

[Lisamiamoore]

Sniff...mean Jon hurt my feewings...He's gonna get it!

[smg007]

Lol! Cramer should just grow up, but that might be too hard for him - just sayin'.

[dtghope]

Mr. Jon Stewart is better at critiquing and challenging the corporate and governmental powerful elite and the bought-and-paid for media talking heads --- than any of the so-called 'real-news' journalists are.

He makes it look easy; though perhaps it is, when you are just about the only one doing it.

Long live Mr. Stewart and his excellent Daily Show!

This is about Cramer's fragile little ego. If Cramer was as smart as he'd like everyone to think he is....he would've been warning his viewers about the upcoming economic disaster. Suze Orman knew it was coming and so did her viewers.
