From the Morford interview:

Q: How much feedback/mail do you typically get after a column is published? And what's the ratio between mail from your fans vs. those who hate you?

A: All depends on the column. A particularly pointed anti-Bush anti-war column will get me gobs of sneering hate mail, mostly from the delirious, hardcore psychopatriots at freerepublic.com or lucianne.com or andrewsullivan.com, et al, where they post chunks of my column in their discussion forums, along with my e-mail address, and encourage each other to flame me, usually in the cutest sort of monosyllabic, ragingly homophobic, horribly syntaxed, misspelled sort of way. Makes me proud to be an American. My girlfriend loves the anti-SF gay-bashing they aim my way, I might add.

Folks, resist the urge to respond to Ms. Morford. She thinks it validates her bi-weekly humor column. Oh, and BTW, her "girlfriend" is named Larry.

What makes me really flummoxed is that the San Francisco Chronicle -- the largest selling newspaper in Northern California, no less -- thinks that there is nothing wrong in printing this type of ranting.

This is not journalism, editorial writing (Mark Steyn, Charles Krauthammer, Ann Coulter)... this is 9th grade gay-locker room trash talking. The San Francisco Chronicle ought to be ashamed of themselves... (but they are not, because the editors probably agree with ole Marky boy)

The way to respond and drive Miss Morford batty is to send him copies of your small donations to George W Bush for the 2004 re-election campaign.
