It's really the hypocrisy which makes me ill

[mreilly]

... I mean literally ill. I get a stomachache from rage when I encounter right-wing hypocrisy. It is absolutely endless. Mind-bogglingly endless.

Whatever MSNBC/CNN/NYT says is a lie. Whatever Breitbart/InfoWars/Fox News/Hannity/Limbaugh/etc. says is automatically the God's honest truth.

The economy/jobs were horrible under Obama and magically turned wonderful on January 20, 2017.

It's perfectly fine for Trump to spend most of his time golfing but they screeched to the high heavens when that horrible black man Obama did it.

All those women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct were truthful saints. All those women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct were evil paid-off whores planted by Democrats.

Even so, Bill Clinton had an affair so it's OK for Trump to cheat on multiple wives, molest or rape whomever he wants and nobody dare complain.

"There's no evidence to support Russian collusion," they yammer endlessly. Meanwhile they kept crying and screaming in rage after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation after investigation into the Clintons produced nothing, so they just made up nonsense instead.

"Liberals" (meaning anyone who opposes these idiots) are anti-American traitors, but there's nothing wrong with Trump colluding with Russia to rig the election even if he did it.

Hillary ran an email server which was the biggest security leak ever. It's perfectly fine that Trump gave out state secrets to the Russians.

The Clinton Foundation was an evil, horrible scam despite what anyone else says, but there's nothing wrong with the fact the Trump foundation funneled $100K intended for kids charity back into the Trump bank coffers.

Michelle Obama disgraced this nation by appearing in a sleeveless dress, but there's nothing wrong with Melania Trump having appeared in pornography or nude pictures.

Obama "mocked" Republicans and Fox news but there's nothing wrong with Trump acting like a crying little brat tweeting utter nonsense all day, every day.

Democrats are "obstructionists" now but it was perfectly fine for the GOP to spend 8 years frantically trying to block every move Obama made.

People criticizing Trump are just "sore losers" but it was fine for right-wingers to howl, shriek and bitch and moan endlessly over Obama's every single move, including wearing tan suits for Christ's sake.

Bill Clinton/Obama started military conflicts to boost their poll numbers, but there's nothing wrong with Trump doing the same now with his approval ratings in the toilet (oh, and that's "fake news" of course).

And on and on. Like I said, there is literally no end to the hypocrisy. The bald-faced, shameless hypocrisy. In a nutshell, these screaming spoiled brats believe "Our side gets to do and say WHATEVER THEY WANT. Your side is wrong no matter what, poopy-heads." The "standards" change as convenient (criticizing Obama was patriotism, criticizing Trump is treason).

They belong on a playground, at the kid's table, or sitting on a smacked red ass in the corner with a dunce cap on, not in power or any reputable discussion or debate.

EVIL LIARS !!!!!!!!!!

3. To quote my 83 year old dad from two weeks ago,

"Republicans are greedy hypocrites". My parents are wise, experienced and can give me a very clear view of the world in a few words.

4. You said it !

They are total hypocrites. Always it's OK for them to do it but not others.

5. For me the hypocrisy

puts me teetering on the edge but it is the smug arrogance that pushes me over, especially from the leadership. There is no humility. Their positions, wealth, and power are god given and well deserved and the rest of us serfs should just shut up and let them do what they want.

6. It's gone on for so long - it has worn me down.

I don't even debate with them anymore because it's pointless.

7. Good list

Big heartburn from me over what you noted.

I would add ...

In the 90s Clinton was using his concern for Islamic terrorism as "wag the dog" to get away from the true scandal of him getting a blow job and lying about it - and it was a MASSIVE security risk because what if the Russians had found out! They would have him compromised (and this was a REALLY big talking point at the time).

W sleep walks through his first 9 months, and 9-11 and all of a sudden it is all terrorism all the time for the next 7 years.

You could not dare to so much as question the commander in chief while troops were in the field while W was POTUS, those words never to be uttered again once BHO moved into 1600 Pa.

It goes on and on ... We could spend days just going off the top of our heads.

8. Bravo.

Well said.

9. A party platform completely at odds with reality demands this behavior of its adherents.

We can compare it to any run-of-the-mill cult, where leaders demand more and more ridiculous behavior from the rank and file, whether to cover for the dogma's failings or simply to train followers to obey any command.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

10. the hypocrisy

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. And the worst hypocrites of all IMO are the gawd fearing evangelical fundies

I grew up in that kind of cult like atmosphere. But even then, I cannot fathom my dear departed father ever being hoodwinked by this charlatan. It only drives home for me that I would never go back to that religion. A cult like that that can be so blinded by and gullible to obvious pandering to get votes. But that is just the usual Republican playbook. Pence would be even better at it. But to swallow that somehow Donald fucking Trump is on the side of the pious Christians of America, that he is there by gawd's hand. That this sexual deviant, corrupt, failed businessman, perpetual liar, foul mouthed egomaniac who has stated in the past that he doesn't need to ever confess sins because he hasn't committed any. That he can leer at a 10 year old girl and say on camera that he is looking forward to dating her one day...is perfectly ok with the 'family values' sect. As is 'grabbing p****' just because you are a big star.

That all that is of no consequence whatsoever as long as he will help reverse Roe vs Wade and appoint an anti-choice SCOTUS justice. And stop more brown people from coming in as refugees. And stop the LGBT community from gaining any rights THEY have. Because that's what Jesus would have wanted. Or so their pastors tell them.

12. I used to bartend at a country club.

Trust me, there are still people who think black people should not be on a golf course.
