[lbo-talk] Marc Cooper's flipping out over Churchill

"You do realise that you're talking to someone who actually criticised
Churchill for that in the days following his remarks? However, I didn't do
it from the lazy man's easy way out approach that Cooper follows, calling
Churchill "hateful" and screaming him down. I laid out why I thought that
this approach, which, sorry Nathan--ain't a whole helluva lot different
from Marcuse even with the timing taken into account *if* you actually
read what Churchill wrote--is not capable of moving beyond the Horowitz
model of critique."

--I meant that Cooper's approach is not much different from Horowitz's
model of criticism. Thoughtless, sloppy, and utterly contradictory.
