EXPOSED: Stunning Moments in Liberal Hypocrisy

Do As I Say (Not As I Do)
by Peter Schweizer
Hypocrisy has proven to be a wonderful weapon for liberals in their
war against conservatives. When a pro-family politician gets caught
cheating on his wife, or a conservative pundit turns out to have a
bad habit or addiction, their enemies use the charge to good
effect. Fair enough. But what happens when the spotlights are
turned on liberals themselves? Do the supporters of progressive
taxes, affirmative action, strict environmental safeguards, and
unionized labor practice what they preach? In a word: NO.
"Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy" is
Hoover Fellow Peter Schweizer's hard-hitting exposé of the
contradictions between the public stances and real-life behavior of
prominent liberals like Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore, Al Franken,
Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Ralph Nader, Barbra Streisand, and many
more.
Some of the shocking hypocrisy Peter Schweizer reveals:
* "I don't own a single share of stock," Michael Moore declares.
No, his tax returns show he has owned hundreds of thousands --
profiting from some of the very companies (like Halliburton and
Boeing) he viciously denounces
* Hillary Clinton supports the right of thirteen-year-old girls to
have abortions without parental consent -- yet she forbade
thirteen-year-old Chelsea to pierce her ears and enrolled her in a
school that would not distribute condoms to minors
* The Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel, ultra-left class
warrior, defender of the inheritance tax -- and trust-fund heiress
fought the IRS all the way to the Supreme Court to avoid paying $2
million in estate taxes
* During the 2004 campaign, John Kerry complained that the
"super-rich" don't pay their fair share in taxes. Care to guess
what percentage of their income Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz
Kerry -- who are worth over $700 million -- are paying in
taxes?
* Noam Chomsky opposes private property and calls the Pentagon "the
most vile institution on the face of the earth" -- yet he has made
millions in contract work for the Pentagon, owns two luxurious
homes, and set up an irrevocable trust to protect his assets from
Uncle Sam
* Ted Kennedy favors racial set-asides on federal contracts -- but
when it came to his own investment in an entire city block of
Washington, D.C., he got his political friends to help him waive an
affirmative action set-aside
* Al Franken habitually calls conservatives "liars" and "mean and
nasty" -- yet as a writer for "Saturday Night Live" he penned jokes
and skits so mean-spirited they appalled even his colleagues, and
he uses brazen lies for his bestselling books all the time
Schweizer makes it clear that when it comes to the things that
matter most in our lives -- protection of family, property and
privacy -- even the most outspoken liberals jettison their
progressive ideas and adopt conservative principles. In short, he
writes, "these do-as-I-say liberals don't trust their own ideas
enough to apply them at home ... Which can only make one wonder: If
their liberal prescriptions don't really work for them as
individuals, how can they work for the rest of us?"
