How many right-wing hypocrites can we name?

[NightTrain]

I'll start:

LYNNE CHENEY, wife of Vice-President Dick Cheney; in the early '80s, wrote SISTERS, a lewd and lascivious (not to mention very badly written) novel about a lesbian love affair.

RUSH LIMBAUGH, right-wing radio talk show host who opined that all drug addicts should be put in prison. Of course, when he himself was outed as an Oyxcontin addict, ol' Pigboy didn't exactly beat a path to the door of the nearest police station to turn himself in!

ZELL MILLER, "Democratic" senator from Georgia who supported the re-election of ultra-right-wing President George W. Bush, openly attacked Bush's Democratic opponent John Kerry, and delivered a vicious, mean-spirited speech at the 2004 Republican convention.

BILL O'REILLY, self-described political independent whose Fox News show, THE O'REILLY FACTOR, always seems to bash liberals. In October 2004, a female Fox producer sued O'Reilly for sexual harassment, alleging that he frequently spoke to her of "phone sex, threesomes, and dildos." Lawsuit came within days of publication of O'Reilly's new book, THE O'REILLY FACTOR FOR KIDS.

DAVID SMITH, C.E.O. of Sinclair Broadcasting; in the spring of 2004, ordered his 62 TV stations not to carry the NIGHTLINE episode that named all the U.S. war dead in Iraq; then, less than a month before the 2004 election, ordered the same stations to broadcast a 90-minute anti-Kerry film. Was arrested in Baltimore in 1996 for consorting with a prostitute; police report called Smith's actions with the hooker "perverted."

JIMMY SWAGGART, moralizing right-wing preacher; caught with a prostitute in the 1980s.

5. Let's not forget Strom Thurmond!

Democrat-turned-Republican seantor from South Carolina; ran for president as a segregationist in 1948. After his death in 2003, the world found out that the 100-year-old Thurmond had a 78-year-old African-American daughter.

[FlemingsGhost]

9. To be fair, the left has more than its share.

We are all hypocrites in some way, shape or form.

[NightTrain]

13. No, no, no, no.

Yes, there are corrupt, hypocritical liberals, but the right-wingers have honed corruption and hypocrisy into a fucking art form!

When it comes to pure sleaze, the left has nothing--and I mean NOTHING!--on the right.

[FlemingsGhost]

16. Personally, I don't believe in levels of hypocrisy.

To differentiate degrees is, in itself, hypocritical.

[fairyduster]

17. I don't want to be fair about this regime in power right now

they do not represent this country in any way, shape, or form. imo

[Momgonepostal]

10. Dr. Laura!

"Women who are mature and love their husbands don't keep their own last names."'

And lets not forget how much time she spends on her moral high horse, after having posed for all those nudie pics.

[earthside]

11. It Would Be Easier ....

... to just name the radical Republicans that are not hypocrites.

I cannot think of any.

[NightTrain]

15. Yeah, but I thought it would be cool to come up with a detailed list.

You know, something you can throw in the face of your freeper co-worker, relative, or neighbor!

[never_get_over_it]

22. That was my thought too

and I was thinking I can't think of one right winger that isn't

[AntiFascist]

28. Pat Buchanan, talk about a flip-flopper!!!

He's against the right wing when he promotes his book (Where the Right Went Wrong), but he certainly supports all the Bush policies. Where does this one stand, or does it depend on who's watching?

[daleo]

29. John Fund

"Fund went and impregnated the daughter of an old girlfriend of his -- and then John Fund, that staunch pro-lifer, looked the other way when she aborted his child."

http://www.americanpolitics.com/20010905BakerFund.html

His irksome mock-sincere voice always gave me the creeps during the Clinton-Lewinsky brouhaha.
