Hypocrisy

[proud2BlibKansan]

If you're a conservative and you're
selected for a job over more qualified candidates you're a 'game changer.'

Black teen pregnancies? A 'crisis' in black America.
White teen pregnancies? A 'blessed event.'

If you grow up in Hawaii you're 'exotic.'
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you're the quintessential
'American story.'

Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you're 'unpatriotic.'
Name your kid Track, you're 'colorful.'

If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the
individual you're 'reckless.' A Republican who doesn't fully vet is a
'maverick.'

If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your
organization fr om a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000
to $400,000, then become the first black President of the Harvard
Law Review,create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000
new African American voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
professor,then spend nearly 8 more years as a State Senator
representing a district with over 750,000 people, becoming chairman
of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, then
spend nearly 4 years in the United States Senate representing a
state of nearly 13 million people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving
on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's
Affairs committees, you are woefully inexperienced.

If you spend 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor
of a town with less than 7,000 people, then spend 20 months as
the governor of a state with 650,000 people, you've got the most
executive experience of anyone on either ticket, are the
Commander in Chief of the Alaska military and are well qualified
to lead the nation should you be called upon to do so because
your state is the closest state to Russia.

If you are a Democratic male candidate who is popular with
millions of people you are an 'arrogant celebrity'. If you are a
popular republican female candidate you are 'energizing the base'.

If you are a younger male candidate who20thinks for himself
and makes his own decisions you are 'presumptuous'. if you
are an older male candidate who makes last minute decisions
you refuse to explain, you are a 'shoot from the hip' maverick.

If you are a candidate with a Harvard law degree you are
'an elitist 'out of touch' with the real America. if you are a
legacy (dad and granddad were admirals) graduate of Annapolis,
with multiple disciplinary infractions you are a hero.

If you manage a multi-million dollar nationwide campaign, you
are an 'empty suit'.If you are a part time mayor of a town of
7000 people, you are an 'experienced executive'.

If you go to a south side Chicago church, your beliefs are 'extremist'.
If you believe in creationism and don't believe global warming is man
made, you are 'strongly principled'.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a
Christian.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years with whom
you are raising 2 beautiful daughters you're 'risky'.

If you're a black single mother of 4 who waits for 22 hours after her
water breaks to seek medical attention, you're an irresponsible parent,
endangering the life of your unborn child.

But if you're a white married mother who waits 22 hours, you're spunky.

If you're a 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton, the right-wing press calls you
'First dog.'

If you're a 17-year old pregnant unwed daughter of a Republican, the
right-wing press calls you 'beautiful' and 'courageous.'

If you kill an endangered species, you're an excellent hunter. If you have an abortion you're not a christian, you're a murderer (forget about if it happens while being date raped).

If you teach abstinence only in sex education, you get teen parents.
If you teach responsible age appropriate sex education, including the
proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

3. Wait, there's more!

If the worst terrorist attack in world history occurs after a Dem leaves office, it's his fault
If it happens when a Republican is in office, he's defending his country

If a black Democrat inspires millions to support him, he's possibly the Antichrist
If a white Republican is practically worshipped by brain-dead followers, it's because God hand-picked him to be president

If a Democrat served his country, his opponent can hire people to paint him as a traitor
If a Republican "served" his country, it automatically puts him above criticism

If several men are caught with a cache of weapons and a plot to assassinate a black Democrat, it's "not a credible threat"
If someone sends a threatening letter and non-lethal powder to a white Republican, they get arrested

If O'Reilley, Savage, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc. encourage listeners to kill Democrats and succeed in provoking one of them to shoot up a UU church, it's freedom of speech
If Michael Moore criticizes Bush without calling for violence againse him or other Republicans, he's an anti-American traitor and should be silenced, if not arrested
In the same vein, if a school shooter played violent videogames, the 1st Amendment "shouldn't protect the makers of the games from lawsuits"

If a black person does it, it's called "looting"
If a white person does it, it's called "foraging for supplies" (saw this on Mind of Mencia)

If a Democrat has a consentual affair, he is crucified for it and becomes the "liberal media's" Emmanuel Goldstein
If a Republican solicits sex from minors, or from another man in an airport bathroom, he gets a slap on the wrist, if anything

If a black Democrat claims to be a Christian, people question it because of his name, skin color, and because he's pro-choice and doesn't want to oppress gays
If a white Republican claims to be a Christian, it means God chose him to be president and nothing else matters

If a black Democrat's pastor makes bitter remarks about white people, it's all over the news
If a white Republican's pastor says that if you disagree with him or Bush or vote Democrat you're going to hell, no big deal

Did I leave any out?

6. "If a white person does it, it's called "foraging for supplies""

You may have seen it in Carlos Mencia's stand up bit, but a lot of us saw, and heard it, LIVE on teh MSM - both versions, in fact.
