When you criticize someone for doing the same thing that you do. That's hypocrisy.

hy·poc·ri·sy [hi pókr?ssee] (plural hy·poc·ri·sies) n 1. feigned high principles: the false claim to or pretense of having admirable principles, beliefs, or feelings
It would be sheer hypocrisy for them to turn around and do what they criticize in others.

2. hypocritical act: an act or instance of hypocrisy
After his hypocrisies became widely known, he decided not to run for re-election.

How close can you get to the actual definition of hypocrisy? Encarta even gives you a perfect matching example.

Free speech? What the hell are you bringing free speech into this for? Last I heard "free speech" wasn't a free pass from criticism. ...I'm using free speech, therefore you can't call me a hypocrite. Nah, nah, nah, nah.

The dems were...I'm sure...happy as h**l to out fund the repups.

I'm sure they were.....and the DNC member that complains about GOP fund raising would be......you guessed it...a hypocrite.

Why do we do this h**l spelling? Do you believe that the fine people of SI are so stupid that they won't figure out that you mean hell? I think they might just figure it out. Even without any help. If you think someone should get tossed off SI for using "hell" then they should get tossed off for using "h**l"
