scaeagles, I believe you're talking about the hypocrisy of the observer, of those who judge, not those who are guilty of the offense.
Where is the hypocrisy of Clinton's blow-job? Poor judgment? Yes, certainly. Not hypocrisy. Harrassment of women? Perhaps, but there was no outrage in the Lewinsky case because we all knew better. The handsome, charming, most powerful man in the world has to fend them off, not harrass them into sleeping with him. But improper? Absolutely. Hypocrisy? Um, no.
Yes, it's hypocritical for lefties to apply different standards to rightwingers. But that's not my point. I'm just explaining why I personally don't do that, and I'm pointing out why it seems I take more issue with rightwing fukups than I do with left's. It's the element of hypocrisy. Theirs, not mine.
