"...makes ME look inside MYSELF for hypocrisy..." Was George Washington a hypocrite for leading a revolution against an army in which he had honorably served?
Is the plaintiff in Roe V. Wade a hypocrite because she now vocally opposes abortion?
The liberals love to toss out the word hypocrite at people who have learned the error of thir ways. If I once touched a hot stove, and learned not to do so, would I be a hypocrite for advising people to not touch a hot stove?

lol. Pretty darned good, as always, Joe. One difference, though, is that those cases you mentioned were where opinions were subsequently changed. But, as LaRochefocauld said (and I know it's now trite), "Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue." That statement has served me well over the years.
