#using non sequiturs in argument, such as responding to the point above that [[liberals]] over-rely on accusations of hypocrisy by citing an example of conservatives' observing [[liberal hypocrisy]].  But their example does not help their argument.  Quite the contrary, use of that example tends to prove that [[liberals]] do over-rely on accusations of hypocrisy (relativism).  Think about that.
