J'accuse

Sometimes hypocrisy smacks down the hypocrite. By flaming a "pile on" the SEIU mentality, this blogger cannot see she is engaging in the very shameless exploitation that she claims the SEIU is doing. So the SEIU posts about food safety at the Olympics. Possibly a legitimate concern, perhaps not, but certainly a legitimate topic for discussion. The shameless blogger then takes after the SEIU for posting about food safety, in the wake of the tragedy involving the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili. It is not the SEIU that exploited this tragedy, nothing in the SEIU post relates to the luge event or safety surrounding the event. It is the shameless blogger who invoked the tragedy as a platform for criticizing the SEIU for raising food safety concerns. Its pretty clear that the safety concerns about the luge track are completely unrelated to labor/management relations.  I'm no fan of the SEIU, or its tactics but this is the football equivalent of hitting a player out of bounds then engaging in excessive celebration over the cheap shot hit.
