The hypocrisy on the Left is just unbelievable sometimes. In fact, one can't even point out their hypocrisy anymore without being accused of...you guessed it, hypocrisy.
Take the whole "F'word" business. The media, except a few right-wing publications, completely ignored John F. Kerry's use of the word when describing Bush's handling of the war in Iraq. When Cheney, in a fit of anger, used the word against a Democratic senator, who can only be described in profane terms anyway, it was front page news. Nobody dared to point this out, however, because the media was quick to cry, "Hypocrite!" if anyone suggested Kerry should be censored, at least as much as Cheney. The idea was conservatives are hypocrites because they would excuse Cheney for something they condemn Kerry for. But they in the meantime can excuse Kerry and condemn Cheney. And no one can say anything without being called a hypocrite. See how it is with these people? The only thing a Republican official can do to please them is get assassinated.
Their latest merry-go-round centers on conservative Alan Keyes' decision to seek a senate seat in Illinois despite being from Maryland himself. The parallels to Hillary's 2000 run are pretty obvious...even to reporters. But instead it's front page news that Keyes blasted Hillary for doing the same thing he's doing...by reporters who cheered Hillary and now condemn Keyes. But no one accuses them of hypocrisy. Takes one to know one, I suppose.
