Alex Cockburn is such a demented leftist that his support is of no use to conservatives, ever. It is one thing to welcome the periodic rays of sanity from a Christopher Hitchens or a Joe Lieberman, but Cockburn is the kind of hateful, delusional leftist nut who makes Michael Moore-on look almost sane.
Cockburn’s actually 2 fer 2 lately - he also called for arming teachers or principals in the wake of the VT shootings and absolutely ripped into school adminstrators.
