groups freekpfk list -
I tried three times - each time there was an

There are many posts on the kpfk board: http://disc.server.com/Indices/165346.html
Cooper moved from the kpfk board to the wbai board. The marathon of posting ending when ed revealed that Cooper had submitted a number of nasty anonymous posts:

Let me see if I got this right: You-- who are
anonymous-- suggest that
others have been deceitful about posting
anonymously. Now, that makes
sense doesn't it? Why don't u disconnect from
this worthless board and
read a book or two and at elast attempt to
increase your knowledge
base? Anything I have written here or anywhere
else is signed with my
name. Period.

Well, being revealed as a liar is not slowing him down at all - he's still posting on bai goodlight.
are you a marc cooper stalker or something, or just the same jackass without a life posting flames about marc cooper?
who cares?
instead of the nation i guess you would have us read the national review? southern partisan?
some quick advice: edit your own national weekly and get your own radio show then show us why we should not read marc cooper. if not him, then who, you? in a country of falwells, horowitzes, and limbaughs, you could find someone elso to take out your little adolescent vendettas on.
this is a site for news. as far as i know, marccoopersucks.com is still available as a domain. get to work!

Marc Cooper has a great deal of influence and power on the left, and for some time, he used it to shore up the position of the Pacifica Board, which has proven itself to be more concerned with being DC insiders than political progressives for activist media. This has caused many longtime activists severe grief, and has led to the rapid depoliticization of Pacifica programming. In other words, Marc Cooper has made enemies, and he probably deserves them.
Now, if he were on the up-and-up, his reputation wouldn't be tarnished by incidents like this. But, he's the one screwing up. He's the one claiming to not post anonymously, but it looks like he's posting mean messages anonymously.
You can check it yourself. The browser information is visible when you "view source". Probabalistically speaking, the odds excellent that Cooper's posts are from the same machine as Anon's.
Remember, when you sling shit, everyone ends up stinking.
I'm watching this dialogue and I find myself asking - why would anyone feel a need to defend Marc Cooper? After all we need only listen or read the man (when he is correctly identified) to understand that he is way more arrogant than we typically allow on the left (arrogance being a charachteristic we associate with teh right). His contributions to leftist rhetoric are minimal. I wouldn't promote his apparent 'success' as the equivelent of legitmacy either, after all the NYT is successful but we don't care to read that shit either.
As for why anyone would want to critique Marc, well that should be evident. I don't imagine one person would have to masqarade as different personalities to make that point - all the otehr people standing in line would get too impatient.
this is hilarious and sad! People (or at least one person --are you sure youre not marc cooper 'not marc cooper') defending this arrogant hosebag. The best that can be come up with as strategy for his defense is that he is successful in his media and that he is neither falwell or robertson. Well, let me fill you all in. Cooper may not be falwell or robertson but he is rather and jensen. how tired i am of hearing talk on all the same old topics from cooper that is broadcast ad nauseum on the corporate media. Cooper is so mainstream on his topic selection even if he is a little left in his rhetoric (though not that left). It just seems as if he were striving to make his own personal mark in the news commentator industry. He wants to gain award, win accolades from his peers even if it must be gained by shunning real news in favor of mirroring the repetitious topications of corporate media punditry.
