I KNOW HE'S AN OLD FUNDIE WACKJOB

But Pat Robertson is the only major Fundie I know of who's lambasted the banksters:
Pat Robertson: We Need To Jail The Bankers Who Caused The Financial Crisis

On The 700 Club this week, Pat Robertson discussed the banking crisis and glowingly spoke about how Iceland jailed many of the bankers who devastated their nation’s economy by taking out fraudulent loans. Robertson hailed the Nordic nation for its actions and said that Americans should deal with the financial crisis in the same way.

“Guess what country is getting itself out of a financial problem by some draconian measures?” Robertson asked his co-host Terry Meeuwsen. “Greece?” she asked. “No, not even close. Iceland!” Robertson exclaimed. “They are putting people in jail. Prime ministers are being indicted. They are going after banks. The people said the banks are ripping us off. We don’t like what they did, and they brought our country to ruin. Suddenly, Iceland is turning around and they look like a big success story!”

Strictly speaking, Robertson is Pentecostal and/but he does wander off the approved "Christian Zionist" reservation occasionally.
