BushCo wants you to know: Caring about the environment is for pinko terrorist idiots

SF Gate / SF Chronicle ^ | 01/28/04 | Mark Morford

As if 600-year-old redwoods give a damn for your politics.

As if struggling salmon care a whit for the Catholic Church's sneering homophobic stance on gay marriage. Like Alaskan elk think your viewpoints on war are far too lopsided to hold sway in the national dialogue.

[Jinjelsnaps]

Wow. I mean ummm...wow. Makes me embarassed to be living in the SF Bay Area. I hardly know where to begin with this one...

[aviator]

Typical. Lots of emotional-impact words and no facts.

He really should inquire about a French work permit.

[TheBigB]

You're either with us 100 percent, or you're a commie hippie homo who should move to France

Yes...and his point is?

[leadpencil1]

Yes...and his point is?

Takes some creative thinking. Lets just say Mark uses a couple of cases of this stuff every week.

[JoJo Gunn]

Another dime-a-dozen estrogen crazed girlie-man screed, available 24/7 on the various Leftist and "bareback rider" sites. Yawn....

[m1-lightning]

Wow. This guy is some liberal tree hugging hippie whack job. I agree with the GOP's labeling of these eco-terrorists.

Oh my God! My face is melting when I go outdoors! Bring back the Kyoto treaty before it gets any hotter! Oh wait, it's like negative 16 degrees WCF here in Illinois...

Because when that beautiful bitch Mother Nature really begins to strike back, nothing else will matter.

Moroford is arrogant enough to think we can control nature. When the time comes, we will go the way of the dinosaurs, and there is nothing to pre-empt that or change it. You hear that whingin eco-wackos? Short of leaving Earth itself, it's INEVITABLE we will be extinct. I vote to leave Mark behind with the other commie hippie homos who should move to France.

Im sending this article to "Commie Hippie Homos for Bush"

The truth is, no matter which party you align yourself with, nowadays it takes more guts, more outright nerve, to care about this planet, to work to strip your life of the plastic and the poisonous and minimize your waste and your impact, eat more consciously and support local farming and cherish the flora and fauna, than it ever could be to load up the Escalade with Malaysian-made crap you bought at Wal-Mart that's now 89 cents cheaper because it's made in a sweatshop and not at the local factory that was forced to shut down.

Hey Mark, the dinosaurs did not have Wal-Marts or Escalades and they aint around. The lame attempt to blame all our problems on SUVs and Wal Mart is the sign of a deranged out of touch entrenched San Franciscan.

Morford is such a gaybay (retro 80's slang)...

[Jonah Hex]

He has openly sodomized the Clean Air Act. He has given the green light to clear cutting the nation's largest old-growth forest, Alaska's stunning Tong-ass National Forest.

Ms. Morford, your panties are showing....

[finnman69]

omg I'M MELTING.....

[onedoug]

Hitler worshipped nature, too.

[Coyote]

Bush is the worst environmental president in the nation's history. Period. The proofs are irrefutable, and the list of his administration's sinister assaults on the pale blue dot we all call home is painful and tragic and punishable in the afterlife by seven billion years of listening to Lynne Cheney being scraped across a chalkboard.

I'm sorry, but where did he list those proofs that make this raw, emotional assertion "irrefutable?"

And as far as "listening to Lynne Cheney being scraped across a chalkboard for a billion years," somehow, as colorfull as that remark may be, I think I'd rather be near Lynne Cheney for a billion years than spend five minutes in SF with this author trying to slip his greasy finger up my butt.

GLOBAL WARMING.....LOLOL

[tdadams]

Seeing a Mark Morford article is like seeing those videos on America's Funniest Home Videos where some kid is lining up in front of a t-ball stand ready to swing the bat and his dad is standing just to the side, with the bat at crotch level.

You know what's going to happen, you don't really want to see it, but you watch anyway, and despite your best effort to think it's juvenile, it's still pretty funny.

[finnman69]

IF ONLY.....

[smith288]

Carrboro, North Carolina... Global Warming turns moderate temps to scorching temps.

As a matter of fact, I have to agree that conservatives make a mistake when they allow themselves to be seen as anti-environmentalist. Instead, conservatives need to take back the environmental organizations that have been kidnapped by leftist idiots and extremists.

Clean air, clean water, preservation of nature, are things we can all agree on. Where we disagree is that conservatives should pursue these goals rationally.

But the truth is, Mark Morford could make absolutely any argument, no matter how sensible, into pure trash just by the way he writes. He's Maureen Dowd on steroids.
