As long as you’re asking, can anyone post a link to Palin calling for abstinence-based education as a preferred policy? So far as I’m aware, the only time she said she favored it was in a “pick one” survey where the other choice was put-condoms-on-the-banana sex ed. ---

They are fundamentally different types of moral failures. The context here - for those who’ve lost track - is whether she’s a hypocrite for condeming other people for things she’s done herself (if the allegations are true). There is no inconsistency between criticizing a political leader for “palling around with terrorists” and enjoying some sex & drugs. This is beyond obvious to anyone not blinded by hatred (or a complete moron). ---

Wrong tack to take. We’re not having a debate as to the meaning of hypocrisy, although it’s been a valiant effort to derail the thread. You asked for cites where she condemned people for moral failures. Cites provided. You’re the only moron in this particular conversation. ---

As a matter of fact it _was_ obvious. Semantic lawyering is a refuge for intellectually bankrupt losers. > [@zoid](#): > > Does it have to be a specific person? To me when Fred Phelps says “God hates fags!” it’s pretty clear where he stands even without calling out an individual. I agree. What do you have along those lines for Palin?
