Liberal ultimate sin, hypocrisy

Palin and Gingrich's Shared Hypocrisy - Jonathan Tobin, Commentary

“In a posting on her Facebook page on Friday, Palin took aim at Gingrich’s critics with the sort of language that says more about her own lack of judgment than anything else. She claimed former Reagan administration officials who noted this week Gingrich was anything but a loyal soldier of the 40^th president were engaged in a “Stalin-esque rewriting of history.” This is not merely nonsensical, it is illustrative of the defects in her own character and intellect that have led many of us who once cheered her rise to conclude that she has no business ever putting herself forward for high office again.” I see here, the author understands “Alinsky tactics”, he uses them here. -?? Did the author once cheer her, or is this a fiction to persuade others of his own credibility?

“For her to go on in the same piece to say Gingrich’s critics were employing “Alinsky tactics at their worst” shows again she understands little about either Saul Alinsky’s writings or history.” Maybe neither are advocates of Alinsky. To say someone does not understand Saul “Alinsky’s writings or history” could be true, but the tactics of a community organizer involve deception and slander.

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.

-- Saul Alinsky

”

“While Palin and Gingrich have little in common, the one characteristic they do share is hypocrisy.” This appears to be the worst name to call anyone. I think the serial prevarication is a greater sin.
