I've recently been annoyed by conservatives who do something awful, and then when called on it, say it's the other side doing it. The classic example is massive shifts of money to the wealthiest people in the country, but if you talk about that, the GOP accuses you of "class warfare." It's not "class warfare" to actually shift the money, just to talk about it.

More recently, it's been the furor over new Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson, who is openly gay. The conservatives in that church say that confirming Robinson will "split the church." Why? Because they'll walk out. They're the ones who will split the church, and yet all you hear is them accusing the others of doing it.

Now the Baltimore Sun has more on Fox News Channel's Roger Ailes. Fox News Channel is incredibly biased towards the GOP agenda and always has been. Even The Simpsons made fun of it. How does Ailes respond?

"As long as there is an unfair journalist, that question will be asked." In other words, if you dare question Fox's bias, you're biased. It amazes me how often this crap works on people. [Jim Romenesko's MediaNews]

I'm not a fan of Signorile's "outing" philosophy of the late 1980s and early 1990s (or if he still has it), but this is an absolutely fantastic summary of conservative hypocrisy that you must read if you've wondered what the heck I'm talking about.

And, by the way, the IFD that he writes about isn't just trying to mount an ultra-right takeover of the Episcopal Church. They're also focused on the United Methodist Church and my own Presbyterian Church (USA).
