Why is it hypocrisy for a liberal to have wealth and still advocate for policies that benefit the poor?
On the face of it, it's not. But when you follow the presidents lead and use the word "rich" like a four letter word of the nasty variety, it is.
If he were at a benefit concert, I would not have posted this. He was at an event that shut out the poor and padded his own pocket. If you don't see this as hypocrisy then I can't help you.
Is it also hypocrisy for someone like Ted Nugent, Limbaugh, Romney, Cheney et al who advocate for military force all the time yet actively avoided service themselves?
Could be.
If someone avoided the military then it would be. If they simply chose another path like many of us, then it wouldn't be. I am not familiar with their history in regards to military service.
Springsteen AVOIDS taxes, but cries foul when others aren't forced to pay more of them.
This is pretty basic stuff, Fuzz.
I smoke. I tell my kids not to. Am I a hypocrite or am I speaking from experience?
Too much grey area on this one.
I smoke cigars and am of legal age.
"smoke" is a vague term.
Smoke cigarettes? Cigars? Pot? Habitually or occassionally?
But I wouldn't get on a stage and tell kids not to smoke cigars when they reach a legal age. Because THAT would be hypocritical.
