Morford's problem isn't his writing.
That's pathetic enough. Any asshole can string run-on sentences together and call it a column. Indeed, post-modernists do it all the time. No, Morford's crimes are not his own. Rather, it's the fact that his editors give him any space at all that is the true offense against humanity.
Granted, his is an opinion column, but there is no appeal to reason, nothing save hate and disdain for those who disagree with him, based on nothing more than his opinions of the issues of the day. But I sense no editorial control here, as if the Online Chronicle has an absentee editor who, like the Maytag repairman, is always asleep.
Face it, people, Morford gets a rise out of us because he is very inventive in calling us names. That is all he can do. That is all he knows how to do (well, that and inventing more bad names to call us). He couldn't argue his way out of a paper bag. But you have to understand, he doesn't need to. He lives in the Republic of Hate and calls it tolerant.
Mark Morford is yelling into an echo chamber filled with like minded people who only know how to vote yes. You know them, don't you? They were the ones purchasing The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion from the dudes from A.N.S.W.E.R. at the Peace Demo last March.
Be Seeing You,
