I asked the question at the time if Glenn Beck contributed to the collapse of Bear Stearns in 2008, and today’s radio show forces me to ask it again more forcefully.<\/p>\n
Glenn had a guest on GBTV last night spinning all kinds of theories “connecting” short selling, Osama Bin Laden, China, Ghadaffi, George Soros and Islam working together to commit financial terrorism to cause the collapse of Bear Stearns – a theory worthy of Coast to Coast.\u00a0 It’s no wonder the US Government is not responding to his crackpot theory.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kudlow started his professional career at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he worked in open market operations and bank supervision.”\\<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kudlow has been doing a show at WABC-AM since 2006, which is also where Glenn Beck was doing his show since 2001.<\/p>\n Here is some additional interesting reading:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.theburningplatform.com\/?p=5485<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I asked the question at the time if Glenn Beck contributed to the collapse of Bear Stearns in 2008, and today’s radio show forces me to ask it again more forcefully.
