Words are failing me right now. Cockburn was probably the most influential lefty thinker on my life after Chomsky and Zinn.
It's extraordinarily sad, however, I can't pass over the fact that in the past years, actually for most of the (almost) four years of Obama's presidency, Counterpunch.org has veered more and more to the right in a way I consider to be very negative, for instance publishing works by Israel Shamir, a person from Sweden who has traded on an imitation Jewish identity to publish anti-semitic articles.
