Yawner of the Day
Whenever you hear the H-word, check twice, and a third time. Usually it’s some liberal screaming “hypocrisy” whenever a conservative proves to be human on an issue where liberals and conservatives generally agree (and where liberals are every bit as prone to failure as conservatives, but somehow their hypocrisy doesn’t count). When the right plays the H-card, we generally at least try to limit it to issues where the left and right disagree, e.g., when anti-gun zealots like Carl Rowan or Roland Burris end up owning the same guns they say no one else should be allowed to have.
Unfortunately, “try” does not always equal “succeed.” Insty links to a forum alleging that “anti-gun” State Senator R.C. Soles had shot an intruder in self-defense. What a hypocrite! Maybe, if by “hypocrite” you mean “guy whose record on guns is ‘not excellent’” according to NC’s leading gun group (whom Insty pooh-poohs as “these folks”), even if he is good enough to warrant an A rating by the NRA.
Move along, people. There’s nothing to see here.
