RE: SEIU Arson, We Didn’t Start The Fire

Kari Chisholm is a (self-described) political hack in my home state of Oregon. Chisholm is so bad that even the liberal Willamette Week has called “foul on Democratic media consultant Kari Chisholm, who runs the blog BlueOregon.com, for excessive use of bullshit in his mud-slinging.” Now he has crossed the line and taken to slyly implying in this recent post that Tea Party activists may have been involved in an arson at the offices of SEIU Local 49.

Here is the guilt-by-insinuation:

I checked in today with a spokesman for Portland Fire & Rescue, Lt. Alan Oswald. He confirmed that the arson team is investigating the fire as a deliberately-set fire. Other than that, he wasn’t able to discuss any of the details, of course.

I noted for him that there’s a lot of folks asking if there’s a connection between the SEIU arson and the teabagger rally. According to Oswald, “anything and everything is on the table” for the investigators – as it always is – until they’re ready to announce their findings.
