Liberal Hypocrisy
Examples detailed by Catherine Seipp and Peter Schweizer:
A “progressive” San Francisco bookstore with a “proud history of supporting banned books” refuses to carry The Force of Reason by Oriana Fallaci. Fallaci, an Italian journalist, was an “antifascist partisan during World War II.” So, she presumably knows a little something about the real, old-fashioned fascists when she uses that term to describe Islamic extremists. By contrast, the clerk at the City Lights bookstore seems to have been a little less informed about Fallaci when explaining, “we don’t carry books by fascists.”
Al Franken complains about businesses not employing more minorities, but Schweizer could find no non-white research assistants for Franken’s book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, no non-white writers for Saturday Night Live when Franken was an executive producer, and no non-white producers for Air America radio. Schweizer jokes, “Al Franken’s staff is whiter than Bob Jones University.”
Nancy Pelosi and her husband are supposedly environmentalists, but lobbied to lift regulations protecting endangered species when the critters were delaying their plans to build a golf-course. By the way, I’m reminded of a story former Congressman Bob Dornan told about Pelosi coming up to him on the House floor during an abortion debate. She challenged his pro-life views by saying, “What if your daughter were raped by a black man?” Wow. That’s class.
Michael Moore claimed not to own any stock because corporations exploit workers, but he actually owned quite a bit. His portfolio even contained some defense contractors, including shares of Haliburton, on which he made a fifteen percent profit!
Noam Chomsky called capitalism a “grotesque catastrophe” and yet has set up elaborate asset protecting trusts for his children and grandchildren.
