Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Tuesday evening:

Forest Oil(FST): "We might as well go with the big dogs. ... On a pullback, we got the Exxon (XOM) down a buck. ... That's my gift to you."

Respironics(RESP): "If I'm gonna do medical technology ... I like the Becton Dickinson(BDX)."

Smith & Wesson(SWHC): "The government is owned and operated not by the corporations, but by the NRA. ... I'd own that stock up to 10."

Tyco(TYC): "I suggest that you sell Tyco, if not totally boycott. ... And literally, on any other conglomerate, you'll make money."

Cytyc(CYTC): "Down 17% for the year. ... If you want the safety, I'd go to Becton Dickinson. ... But I like this stock down here."

Qwest(Q): "What is not to like about Qwest? ... Every time I mention that stock , the Denver Post picks it up like I am the Pied Piper of Qwest. ... Next stop, $10."

Bema Gold(BGO): "I think you should be in Yamana Gold(AUY). "Cheaper, better and more fun."

"Countrywide Financial(CFC) is too cheap. ... I like this stock under 35. Two thumbs up, way up."

"Disney(DIS) was formerly run by Brezhnev, and then Gorbachev came in. ... The Kremlin has been destroyed. Long live freedom. ... I meant that Michael Eisner is no longer running Disney. Bob Iger is."

EuroZinc(EZM): "A call [options] on the base metals."

EZ Corp.(EZPW): "I would rather see you in Capital One Financial(COF). ... They can even make more money than a pawn shop."

Deere(DE): "John Deere that was a monster quarter. ... I like Deere. You should stick with Deere to 75."
