Oh hey religious hypocrisy isn’t limited to the right!

Although I’d argue it’s more prevalent on the right, or at least more obvious given how much more obvious people are about their faith in general on the right.

I thought there was a different hypocrisy on display in that story.

Didn’t say it was the same, just that it’s a supposed religious person being hypocritical.

Your post definitely reads as saying this is an example of religious hypocrisy on Clinton’s part. I’m not sure I see that nor how that is relevant to the hypocrisy on display. What I see is someone who was supposed to be standing up for women and for what’s right, doing the exact opposite for no good reason that I can discern.

If the past few months have taught us anything, it’s that people can stand for the right things but do the wrong things at the same time. I think we saw this with Franken. There’s a whole societal complex to protect these people.

I think people of both political parties in the U.S. feel similarly about their own politicians who are hypocrites (ie those who profess values they do not actually hold) or are merely weak people who fail to consistently abide their values (ie everyone in varying degrees). I think Clinton falls into the former category. I see absolutely no good reasons for her choice there and millions of bad ones.
