Cockburn has said many times that his aim is to increase the level of chaos in the system. Anything that increases chaos is good; anything that decreases it is bad. Therefore Jerry Brown is good. Ron Paul is good. The Michigan Militia is good. Presumably, by this standard, Kerry is worse than Bush.
