Portland's own "Rush" Lars Larson in some heat
Local "personality" Lars Larson--a conservative commentator who is Portland's own Sean Hannity--appears to be in a bit of a spat with Portland City Commissioner Randy Leonard. KGW's Abe Estimada writes this:
Pretty clear here that Portland city commissioner Randy Leonard and conservative radio talk show host Lars Larson are no longer friends.Larson got quite mad when Michael Moore announced his personal cell phone number last year, so it's quite hypocritical of him to publish Leonard's email address to harass him. It's not too surprising, though, because Larson is not the most honorable man in the city.
The two engaged in a nasty e-mail battle that was transmitted for all to read in city politicians’ and journalists’ inboxes on Tuesday afternoon.
The gist: Leonard accuses Larson, whose show airs on KXL radio in Portland, of stirring up his listeners and getting them to send harassing, even “inappropriate,” e-mails to the commissioner. Someone also left what Leonard called a “threatening” phone call message at his home.
Leonard said he’s received multiple e-mails on gastric bypass surgery, babies with multiple parents and a solicitation to buy land in Alaska. Leonard also enclosed copies of the e-mails sent by strangers as proof.
“This is an obvious attempt by you to harass me,” Leonard wrote.
