Once again, someone has squared off against one of CNBC's star personalities, and this time it's a liberal economist taking aim at the old standby, "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer.

An April 8 Associated Press story reported that, on the heels of "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart taking Cramer "to task for trying to turn finance reporting into a game," New York University Professor and Huffington Post contributor Nouriel Roubini blasted Cramer in an interview. Predictably, Cramer responded.

"Cramer is a buffoon," Roubini said to the AP. "He was one of those who called six times in a row for this bear market rally to be a bull market rally and he got it wrong. And after all this mess and Jon Stewart he should just shut up because he has no shame."

How long until the left-wing attack machine gears up to go after Cramer this time?

“”The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart taking Cramer “to task for trying to turn finance reporting into a game,”

I forget, does Jon Stewart purport to be a comedian or a reporter?

Cramer is a buffoon...

Sometimes Cramer's right, but he's still a buffoon.

Cramer on Obama's Anti-Wall Street Comments:

With all the populist sentiment generated from the economic slowdown by politicians, CNBC "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer is seeing eerie similarities with the comments of President Barack Obama and the words of a communist revolutionary..."

Cramer, a big Liberal, is finding out what happens when you stray from the party line.

...does Jon Stewart purport to be a comedian or a reporter?

Yes.

[The Electrician]

Stop the presses!

Catfight between two attention whores...

Oh, the humanity...

[roses of sharon]

Clown nose off.

Clown nose on.

Roubini is a hell of alot smarter than Cramer any day. He predicted the current financial collapse years ago. Hardly part of the attack machine. Cramer is a showman, a market manipulator, and in it for the ratings.

[Mase]

Yeah, so what? Roubini is a perma-bear. Eventually, given enough time, he'll be right. Cramer stated the truth by comparing Odumbo to Lenin. For speaking truth to power he's being excoriated by the Marxists. Cramer may be a liberal loud mouth but he isn't an anti-capitalist. The Obamunists are making an example out of anyone who dares to take issue with dear leader. Roubini doesn't have the sand to do it. He doesn't have the time either. He's too busy screaming about the end of the world.

Making news funny. It's all the rage these days.

Wow! Who would have thunk it. They’re eating their own on the left. Cramer was/is a dem, and was excited to see Obama run for president. And the left was complacent with that - until Obama’s economics clashed with reality. And Cramer has the audacity to point it out! I think they’ve already started gearing up to go after Cramer, the first was just a round fired over the bow to see if he’d back down. Incredible. Go Cramer!
