Quote from turkeyneck:
Are Cramer's audience really that stupid? If he says jump off the building, will they do it for him?
I think a lot of americans for whatever reason are heavily influenced by the media. I really do think that if Cramer says buy or sell or hound aig employees.. there is certainly a number of people who will become obsessed by it.
Look at whats happening in todays politics. We ridiculed Clinton for being a pot user who didn't inhale. But here are obama's own words "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though" But since the media has stressed how much of a role model he is.. .
Again, like i said before, many of Obama's supporters are literally on the fringe of society. Many are either uneducated, jobless, or welfare recipients. Middle class families need to make at least 200k to survive..
If he happens to lose, his supporters will make the la riots will look like kids play.
