When fear wins: Brexit, the vicious cautionary tale
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 24, 2016 | Mark Morford

Posted on 06/24/2016 5:50:49 PM PDT by artichokegrower

This is what happens when you enflame and provoke to the point of vicious irrationality. This is what happens when you make vague and heartless, crass, openly racist, fear-based, hyper-jingoistic promises that are impossible to deliver and will actually only make things far, far worse. And quickly.

Sorry but it was the “remain” that was doing the fearmongering. Oh if Britain leaves it will be the end of the world...

Insanity.

A nation hat has existed for almost 330 years and the kingdoms that unified to form it another 700 or so years, will collapse of it leaves an organization it’s been part of for 23 years?????

The remain used nothing but fearmongering to argue staying.... And they lost.

Thank you for posting this. It’s been a long time since anyone has posted something written by Ms. Mark Morford, and I missed the comic relief.

Marcie Morford stopped biting the pillow long enough to clutch the pearls, I see...

I didn’t read the article, but from the excerpt, it sounds like Marcie soiled herself... :)

Miss Morford was big on FR way back when.

We're talking throwing up chunks of stomach lining:

Has AIDS not killed this fool yet?

As usual, leftists project. The fearmongering was on the remain side.

Interesting comments at the article, and they were running about 100 to 1 against Morford The Fool.

Ironic that almost all the fear being tossed around was what would happen if they voted to leave.....in this case, fear lost.

Reminds me of something a friend used to say,

Fear knocked.
Faith answered.
There was nobody there...

...heartless, crass, openly racist, fear-based, hyper-jingoistic...

Out with the labels in the first paragraph. The idiot author forgot to mention "homophobic".
