Hypocrisy is bad enough. The self-righteous notion that only the other guys exhibit it is dishonest. We should not blame all members of a group for the shortcomings or excesses of a minority of the group, although I think it's appropriate that the group at large to try to either get its outliers into the fold or cut them out of the herd. A group like conservatives or liberals is not a herd with any enforcement powers. Anyone is free to call themselves or anyone else a member of one of these groups. A group like Democrats, or Republicans would find it hard to achieve its aims if it kicked out any member who was ever hypocritical and/or excessive. I agree with the idea of condemning unjust actions or unwarranted excesses but I'm not sure it is easy or in some cases even desirable to be kicking everyone "out of the herd". Tim
