I am confident that I would not like or approve of that aspect of Fluke's life, but I do not think Limbaugh's choice of that word was wise. But worse than that, he went on to say that she should sell sex tapes to pay for birth control, and in so doing, dragged himself at least temporarily down to the level of Letterman and Maher. If you approve of Limbaugh's "sex tape" comments, and disapprove of Letterman and Maher, that is hypocrisy.
I hope Limbaugh snaps out of it and returns to his old self, which was not helping Obama hold on to power.
At a minimum, ignoring a very important part of my post, you tried to smear me. Either you are a careless reader, or your post was dishonest. That's a shame, because I think you really hate Obama and his gang as much as I do.
“But worse than that, he went on to say that she should sell sex tapes to pay for birth control, and in so doing, dragged himself at least temporarily down to the level of Letterman and Maher.”
Wrong. Once again, lying about a virtuous woman is not on the same moral plane as making appropriate remarks about a depraved woman.
“If you approve of Limbaugh’s “sex tape” comments, and disapprove of Letterman and Maher, that is hypocrisy.”
Wrong.
“Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie.
Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches. Samuel Johnson made this point when he wrote about the misuse of the charge of “hypocrisy” in Rambler No. 14:
‘Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to others, those attempts which he neglects himself.’
Thus, an alcoholic’s advocating temperance, for example, would not be considered an act of hypocrisy as long as the alcoholic made no pretense of constant sobriety.”

The vast majority of people who make false accusations of hypocrisy based on an erroneous definition of the concept are leftists.
“At a minimum, ignoring a very important part of my post, you tried to smear me.”
There is no very important part of your post which I ignored. I tried first to explain why it’s not hypocrisy to agree that a slut is a slut while holding that a virtuous woman is a virtuous woman, then I expressed my judgment that, based on what you say and how you say it, you are not a conservative, but an agent provocateur.
It now occurs to me, though, that it could be that you simply haven’t gotten as far as this concept in your struggle to free yourself from the toxic nostrums of the popular culture or the college campus.
It is long past time for decent people to wake up and realize that when dealing with scumbags, civility is nothing but a self-imposed handicap. If it’s true, say it. If it’s a lie, call it a lie. No hypocrisy is involved.
