This sort of stuff isn’t confined to one party or one ideology or one whatever. Anyone who thinks that is dearly mistaken.
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.
The blue elephant in the room.
I wasn’t talking about Clinton.

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.

A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred, but was heartened the young woman came forward, was heard, and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.
I called her today to tell her how proud I am of her and to make sure she knows what all women should: we deserve to be heard.
Ugh.
That’s a non-response if I’ve ever seen one.

I’ll admit it to you, you need to be sitting down when you read this next tweet. I didn’t and I was so shocked I fainted. This news will shake you to your bones, it’s that radical.

BREAKING NEWS:
President Trump has declared he is NOT a feminist.
He tells me: ‘No, I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist. I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far. I’m for women, I’m for men, I’m for everyone.'
Full interview, Sunday, ITV, 10pm.
Piers Morgan is a fuckstick.
Whoops I meant a RoboStick.
(just happened to notice that)
JEDIT: Fantastic avatar!

“Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.”
Trump: No, I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist.
That pretty much covers it.
ALLOL!
Don’t you just love the smell of anti-vaxxxer in the morning?

“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade is spreading misinformation about vaccines as this year’s particularly deadly flu epidemic spreads across the United States.
Dr. Marc Siegel, a practicing internist and Fox News contributor, joined Monday’s show to explain why this flu season is especially dangerous, and to encourage viewers to get flu shots.
“The flu shot, which I still say everybody out there should get, is about 30-percent effective, but it actually decreases spread around the household, it decreases severity, and it’s very smart to get it,” Siegel said during the show. “Of the children that have died, 80 percent of them in the past hadn’t gotten a flu shot.”
But Kilmeade dismissed the medical professional’s advice, instead echoing a debunked talking point of conspiracy theorists known as anti-vaxxers.
Here’s how it went down: As the segment wrapped up, Siegel asked the show’s hosts if they’ve had their annual flu shots. Steve Doocy and Ainsley Earhardt confirmed they did. But their colleague, on the other hand …
I knew everything I needed at “Fox & Friends.”
Well, if he gets the flu, he’s got nobody to blame but himself.
Where were you in '77?
Well, if he gets the flu, he’s got nobody to blame but himself.
I envy your innocence.

As I just read about another kid dying from the flu that was probably preventable, this is what morons like Kilmeade deserve.
Where were you in '77?
I was making the joke that you saying he would have nobody to blame but himself if he gets the flu was naive, as in somebody should intentionally give him the flu.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/us/politics/senate-abortion-ban-20-weeks.html
WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected a bill on Monday to ban most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a largely symbolic vote aimed at forcing vulnerable Democrats to take a stand that could hurt their prospects for re-election in states won by President Trump.
By a vote of 51 to 46, the measure fell well short of the 60-vote threshold required for the Senate to break a Democratic filibuster. The outcome was not a surprise, and the vote fell mostly along party lines.
The Senate voted on a similar measure in 2015. At that time three Democrats — Senators Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia — voted in favor of it. All three are up for re-election this year in states that Mr. Trump carried, and all of them voted in favor of the measure again on Monday. Two Republicans — Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — voted against it.
The bill, which has the strong backing of the Trump administration, is identical to one that passed the House in October and similar to legislation that has been adopted in 20 states. It would make nearly all abortions after 20 weeks illegal; anyone who performed the procedure could face a potential prison term of five years, fines or both, though exceptions could be made when the life of the mother was at risk, or in cases of rape or incest.
“To those who believe in this issue, we will be back for another day,” Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and the chief sponsor of the bill, said in advance of the vote. To his colleagues who supported the measure, he said: “You’re on the right side of history. You’re where America will be. It’s just a matter of time before we get there.”
The Senate floor debate offered supporters and opponents of abortion rights an opportunity to speak expansively about Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion — and they took it.
“Forty-five years after Roe v. Wade, abortions are safer today than getting your tonsils out,” declared Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts. “A lot of women are alive today because of Roe.” She called the ban “part of a broad and sustained assault by Republican politicians on women’s rights to make decisions about their own bodies.”
On the right side of history? Fuck you Graham.
