ABC‘s Klein: Tank the Market to 'Shake' Republicans

Political Director of ABC News, Rick Klein pleaded with investors today to tank the stock market in order to “shake things loose” in the GOP ranks.

In his ABC’s The Note piece today, Klein seriously proposed a stock sell-off designed for the express purpose of breaking the will of Republicans.

When does Wall Street cast its vote? Bipartisan meetings are nice, and new plans that depend on the other side budging certainly can’t hurt at this stage of a standoff. But there may be only one way to jolt the system: SELL.

Klein’s rationale: recent talks with beltway strategists suggest the GOP is dug in so deep, only an earth-rattling disaster could force them out. Klein’s solution? To avoid one manufactured crisis, we should manufacture another in the form of a market collapse.

Conversations with Republican strategists in recent days suggest that only a major event, most likely in the form of a major southward turn in the markets, could shake things loose inside the GOP conference enough to push away from the current crises. That’s what will draw constituent phone calls, and what will turn anger into action – more so, certainly, than vague threats of primary challenges engineered by business interests.

As Breitbart’s John Nolte puts it in his reaction piece:

Klein made clear that his desire to see the market slide to a point where a national panic sets in has nothing to do with budging a president who refuses to negotiate.

Here's hoping no one takes Klein's proposal as seriously as ABC apparently does.

Boycott ABC and tank their stock.

Later Klein has a problem and goes to an ER. He was told by the ER doctor:

good point, but the bubble was popped at the most optimal time by those who wanted Baracka Obama

Hey little Ricky. Your economic treason backfired so far today:

Sick, twisted, b@$+@rd

Well, not just that, but also, Ricky boy's a bit late to the party with yesterday's idea.

George Soros already pulled that one in 2008. Been there, done that, got the shirt, Ricky. Sorry, babes.
