Shouldn't this article really just be titled "hypocrisy" with a note that liberals often engage in this type of behavior? It could be its own category - blended together with deceit, the occult, etc. --LiteratiChamp 19:07, 20 July 2007 (EDT)
- Too early for that. Let the articles develop separately first; we can always generalize later. --Ed Poor Talk 19:22, 20 July 2007 (EDT)
Isn't calling someone a hypocrite for the actions of the characters they play a bit of a stretch? I mean, is that the best you can do? There are surely much better examples than that. It just seems desperate. Are we going to see an article saying that Anthony Hopkins is a hypocrite because he does not believe in genocide, but in The Bunker he played Hitler, a man who is one of history's greatest perpertrators of genocide?

- It depends on what they say and do after they leave the set. Anthony Hopkins isn't going around saying Hitler was a kind man while he was a dictator. You see, I don't like PETA screaming that dolphins are dying in tuna nets while not saying anything about the tuna. I don't it when Al Gore demands we stop polluting the atmosphere, yet it's OK for him to drive huge gas-guzzlers and giant jumbo jets. Get the picture? Karajou 22:27, 21 July 2007 (EDT)
This all started for me when I had an on-line conversation some years ago in one of the Dalnet channels. A man appeared and wanted to talk about the environment, specifically oil production and how he can get people against it. He revealed himself as a member of Greenpeace. When I badgered him as to what car he drove, he told the other members of the group it was a Honda, one of those gas-miser cars. Then I said something that got that hypocrite to voluntarily get out of the channel:
- "So, you can protest all the oil companies you want, yet you have the gall to put their products in your own car?"

Shouldn't there be an article on conservative hypocrisy to keep it fair? --9820 14:34, 22 July 2007 (EDT)
