The Most Dangerous Man on TV, Larry Kudlow

[louis c]

This is a premier dope. Larry Kudlow is a first rate economic asshole and has no understanding about the real economy, yet is allowed to continue to spew misinformation and poor advice to an unsuspecting American Public on CNBC.

The Bush tax cuts, continued deregulation, unrestricted free trade, union busting, interest rate cuts and on and on. Trickle Down Economics and a capital gains tax cut to zero, that's what this country needs. That's the Kudlow way. Except he was wrong. Dead wrong. Kudlow was a cheerleader for the worst economic disaster in America in the last 70 years. His economic philosophy of "let the market police itself and get the government out of the way" has now been tried twice. From 1921 to 1930 and from 2001 to 2007. How's that philosophy doing, asshole.

I would watch this economic idiot every night tell people that we would have a booming economy from now until doomsday. That Bush was an economic genius. "The Ownership Society" care of the brilliant Republicans. Two years of his bullshit, until that bullshit hit the proverbial fan. What amazed me is how so many average "Joe's" ate it up. As I was telling my friends and co-workers about an inevitable economic collapse, they would just laugh and quote Kudlow. In June of this year, when I told all who would listen, that Obama would win the presidency, and they laughed. My line was this "the party in power never wins a general election during a depression". Laughter was the response. Not in October, though. By November, everyone stopped laughing.

Please read the link below, which was written by Kudlow in April of 2006. "...the boom will continue as far as the eye can see." Economic malpractice. If a doctor made a public declaration that caused a medical catastrophe, we would want his head. CNBC, instead, let's Kudlow continue his idiotic economic prescriptions as if no one noticed.

1. Jim Cramer is more fun anyway...

Kudlow is an ass.

[katanalori]

2. You are SO RIGHT!

How can anyone take this idiot seriously? I cannot listen to him anymore.

[louis c]

3. Thanks, newby

and Welcome to DU.

[Oceansaway]

4. that michele,melissa and dennis are the

idiots i cant stand....i do like jeff and dylan at times...

they are all shills tho.....and its fun to watch them wiggle and

fidget when bad news comes along....jmo...

[gravity]

7. They don't compare to Kudlow

He is the only person that forces me to change the channel.

[louis c]

31. I agree (NT)

[Celebration]

18. I really like Dylan!! He actually has some sense

Jeff is fun to watch, but way too "free market." At least he's getting it now I think. Dylan is pretty relentless critisizing just the right things.

[CatholicEdHead]

5. He is also on the board of Ave Maria Mutual Funds

so he belongs to the rich form of Catholicism.

[navarth]

12. Ave Maria Mutual Funds? Is that connected to Tom Monaghan?

You know, the religious nut case owner of Domino's Pizza? Funder of 'Ave Maria University'? Every time I drive by his complex at the intersection of US 23 and M-14, I flip him the bird out of principle.

[CatholicEdHead]

16. Yes it is

And one of their chief investing planks is to invest in companies who do not give domestic partner benefits.

:puke:

[navarth]

29. Oh my, my, my.

The puke icon you included is MOST appropriate. Agh.

I remember once I was on a stage with Monaghan (it's a long story) and I remember thinking how cool it would have been to reach forward and give him a pie in the face. Alas! The moment passed.

Kudlow's definitely an asshole, then

[Double T]

6. Larry has got to be bush's blood brother.

Larry is an ass kisser extraordinaire. Wimp with a dangerous mouth.

[spanone]

8. i choose to turn him off. he's repulsive in many ways.

[louis c]

10. I listen to the other side

Maybe I'm a masochist, but the only way to defuse a position on any issue, is to know how the other side arrived at it.

I'll admit, that rush is tough to bear, but I listen to the other side and I find it completely misinformed.

[spanone]

21. i understand and i applaud your stamina !!!

[louis c]

24. It's not easy

I'm listening to some asshole substituting for Michael Savage now.

On second thought, maybe I am a masochist

[louis c]

25. Self delete (dupe)

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. If I'm not mistaken, he's one of the originators of the "black folks caused the mortgage meltdown"

That's where I heard if first.

[louis c]

11. He's the one

My response to those who quoted him, as Kudlow was blaming Barney Frank for the economic disaster, was this. Let's see, the SEC, the Justiice Department, the council of Economic Advisers, the Federal Reserve Board, the Treasury, the Sec. of Commerce, the trade emissaries, OMB, CAO, none of these groups or agencies, all appointed by the president, have anything to do with the economy. The minority ranking member of the House banking committee runs the American economy. Now I get it.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. Yes. I'm in the mortgage business. I watched the disaster unfold....

.....before my very eyes.

[gravity]

13. He is the Bill O'Reilly of CNBC

He has a mantra he is sticking to no matter what the facts say. I hope no one take the guy seriously.

[mnhtnbb]

30. You are so right. I can't stand to listen to the guy.

[mooseprime]

14. you might want to consider easing up on

the "recovering drug addict" bit. addictive disorders are health conditions, not moral failings. it detracts from the rest of the argument, which is spot on in and of itself.

[louis c]

15. You're right, of course

Corrected the OP on edit. I don't need that. Thanks for your constructive criticism.

[mooseprime]

17. And look how

great the post is anyway!

[indepat]

26. The putrid and rancid extreme RW ideology Larry spouts is a moral failing imv

:P

[MazeRat7]

19. My SO "forbids" me to watch him... says she cant stand to hear me and its bad for my health..

The man makes me weave a tapestry of profanity that hangs over the house like a dense fog...

Peace,

20. Kudlow is batting a big, fat zero just like

William Kristol and James Glassman. They have never hit a single, much less a home run, on any major issue. They are all batting .000 with their predictions. Didn't Kudlow once predict (or was it Glassman) that the DOW would hit 20,000 under the brilliant leadership of George W. Bush?

[louis c]

23. Jonathan Lang at Barron's made that prediction in March of 2008

he just missed. What morons.
