And of course Coop responded in his typically childish way. There's no way 
to seriously criticize Coop without him getting shitty or tossing out 
extraneous crap. Not long ago, on my blog, I wrote that Coop had a soft spot 
for David Horowitz, which led him to mail me an angry reply, saying that he 
thought that Horowitz was pathetic and that he'd have nothing to do with 
anything Horowitz sponsored, etc., and then he challenged me to retract the 
statement. I did, since it wasn't the main point of my post, only to later 
see Coop appear on a panel at Horowitz's Restoration Weekend, H's annual 
gathering of reactionaries and rightist libs. So don't expect an honest or 
even cogent reaction from the guy.
