If the intent of your article is to persuade, then sarcasm is rarely an effective tactic. Overt sarcasm will cause those who already agree with you will snigger along with you, while those who don't agree will be irritated. Subtle sarcasm runs the danger of being misinterpreted as sincerity. In either case, sarcasm is rarely an effective choice for an editorial.

You'll notice that printed media very rarely use sarcasm in their editorial pieces. It is somewhat more common on blogs and other online media, where the standards of formality are lower, but the best bloggers still use it sparingly. My recommendation is to stay away.
