If there's anything more hypocritical than selective outrage
I don't know what it is. And there's prodigious amounts of it in GDP. If you're going to outraged at candidate X, and you excuse candidate Y for the very same thing, you're full of it, and you deserve to be dismissed as simply a partisan hack or someone overcome with dislike who can't be even be honest.

after all selective outrage on DU happens about so many more topics than candidates, but yes I certainly agree in principal that it's a sign of a dishonest or stupid person.
