Hypocrisy Alert: Guess which climate alarmist is heavily invested in fossil fuel companies...

It's Lurch.

Via Heartland Institute:

In a March 12 address to the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C., Secretary of State John Kerry warned that climate change outranks terrorism, epidemics and poverty as the worst threat facing the world today. Our only salvation, he asserted, lies in an energy policy that replaces fossil fuels with solar, wind and other “clean energy.”
However, at the same time he gave this crisis speech, public records indicated that Secretary Kerry personally owned an estimated three to six million dollars in stocks of more than 50 oil and gas-related companies. Records from 2004 show that he’s been constantly and deeply invested in fossil fuels for at least a decade, and is still injecting millions in working capital into the very industries he condemns. What is the public to think of a cabinet-level prophet of climate doom who says one thing and does such another? Read it all...

Hypocrisy: Harry Reid criticizes Republicans for not allowing more debate on Democrat's amendments...

Sen. Mitch McConnell has already allowed more amendment votes this year than Harry Reid did all last year.

I've never seen debate shut down as aggressively as when Sen. McConnell refused to allow Dems to debate their own amendments for just 1 min.

Man of the people alert: Mayor Bill de Blasio has privacy fence built around Gracie Mansion.

Mayor Bill de Blasio is a flaming hypocrite.

Via NY Post:

Mayor Bill de Blasio, a self-declared progressive “man of the people,” has erected a massive new “privacy fence” to keep his constituents from looking in on Gracie Mansion.
The new fence — constructed just inside an existing red brick wall and a wrought-iron fence ringing the historic property — was actually dubbed a “privacy fence” by de Blasio and first lady Chirlane McCray, sources told The Post.
“So much for being mayor of the people. That brick fence was good enough for Rudy Giuliani and his family, and for Ed Koch and all the mayors before him,” a law enforcement source said.
Sources said the increasingly thin-skinned mayor demanded the extension because he was sick of nosy people in Carl Schurz Park peeping in while he hung out in the yard.

It seems Michael Moore likes capitalism more than he has let on.

Central Lake — A lakefront mansion. Dueling movie producers. Super agents joining the fray. A drunken driving arrest. The possible hiring of private investigators.
The divorce of Michael Moore has this normally sedate community northeast of Traverse City all atwitter.
The filmmaker, 60, who split his time between a home here and one in New York, is leaving his wife of 22 years, Kathy Glynn.
The breakup is scheduled to be finalized in a settlement Tuesday at Antrim County Circuit Court in nearby Bellaire. [...]
Moore and Glynn own nine properties in Michigan and New York, including a Manhattan condo that once was three apartments. CelebrityNetWorth.com pegs their wealth at $50 million.
In legal pleadings, Moore blames his wife for the expansion of the 10,000-square-foot home on Torch Lake, which has a value of $2 million.
He listed six media reports from 2011, which poked fun at the defender-of-the-poor for owning such a big house, as exhibits in the divorce case.
“He criticizes capitalism, but capitalism made him rich,” said Gary Tracy, owner of Bellaire Bait and Tackle. Keep on reading...

Journalist confronts hypocrite Mayor Bloomberg about his armed guards...

Journalist Accosted By Security Over Mayor Bloomberg Gun Control Question 


Via PJM:

Jason Mattera caught up with New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg at the US Conference of Mayors on January 18. Bloomberg has been making headlines lately for pushing gun control, and New York State passed one of the most sweeping gun bans in the nation earlier in January.

Mattera confronts Mayor Bloomberg and asks him to disarm his praetorian guard, in the spirit of gun control. Bloomberg balks.

“Uh, we’ll get back to you on that,” Bloomberg says. Bloomberg’s five visible, and very large and armed, bodyguards get between Mattera and the mayor.

But that’s not where the story ends.

Hypocrisy: President Obama has taken nearly $120,000 in donations from Bain Capital employees

How does President Obama look himself in the mirror in the morning?

TPM:

The Romney campaign is accusing President Obama of hypocrisy for accepting campaign contributions from Bain Capital employees while attacking the firm’s investments.

“President Obama has based his entire reelection campaign on a vicious, dishonest assault on Mitt Romney’s business career,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement. “The real question for President Obama is this: if Bain Capital is so bad, why have you taken nearly $120,000 in donations from them? President Obama’s actions are the height of hypocrisy.”

President Obama wants to have a “highbrow debate,” but releases ad mocking Romney's singing of “America the Beautiful.”

President Obama, hypocrite is thy name...

Via The Hill:

The White House said Saturday that President Obama wants to have a “highbrow debate” with Mitt Romney, even as it touted a new ad hitting the GOP candidate’s business record and mocking his singing of “America the Beautiful.”

Deputy Communications Director Jen Psaki told reporters in a gaggle aboard Air Force One that Obama wanted to focus on issues “the American people actually care about.”

But Psaki said the Obama campaign’s attacks on Romney’s business background as former head of private equity firm Bain Capital were fair game.

“Of course the President wants to have a highbrow debate about these policy issues and what the American people actually care about,” she said.

Now and Then: Obama Takes Credit, Then Shifts Blame on Solyndra (Video)

 The sad part of this isn't that Obama is a mind-exploding hypocrite. He is. The sad part is the mainstream media, in their desire to see Obama re-elected, have abandoned journalism and won't call him on it.

Hypocrite Obama tells GOP to "stand up" for military; allowed prosecution of Navy SEALS for allegedly punching a terrorist

President Obama, speaking to a gay rights group last Saturday night, said this about GOP candidates lack of reaction to a very small portion of the crowd booing of a gay soldier's question at the Florida debate:

“You want to be Commander-in-Chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it’s not politically convenient.”

 

When it was "politically incorrect" with his liberal base, President Obama refused to support three Navy SEALS who were accused, by the Falluja contractor massacre mastermind, of punching a him during his capture. The terrorist wasn't even injured. The SEALS were also accused of a coverup. If President Obama really supported the military, he would have given these SEALS a medal. Instead, he let them suffer through a several months long prosecution before all three were exonerated.

(CNN)- Three U.S. Navy SEALs face criminal charges after the alleged mastermind of one of the most notorious crimes against Americans in Iraq accused them of punching him after his capture, the military said Wednesday.

Ahmed Hashim Abed -- thought to be behind the slayings and mutilation of four U.S. contractors in Falluja in 2004 and captured in summer -- made the accusations against the three servicemen, said Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, a spokeswoman for U.S. Central Command.

A civilian lawyer for one of three SEALs said his client and the other SEALs declined a nonjudicial resolution to the case, a step sometimes called a "captain's mast." The servicemen say they did not harm the detainee in any way and they want their names cleared in a court-martial so they can continue their careers in the Navy, said the attorney, Neil Puckett.

Hypocrisy: AARP Now Worried About Cuts to Medicare

Where were these hypocrites when President Obama and Democrats cut $500 billion from Medicare? Oh, they supported that plan.

AARP:

Right now, President Obama and Congress are considering a deal to pay the nation’s bills that could cut the Social Security and Medicare benefits seniors have earned through a lifetime of hard work.

Astounding Hypocrisy: Obama Holds 4 Closed Door Meetings Before Accepting Award For Transparency (Updated)

(Photo via Wikipedia)

Has President Obama no shame? Update: Event postponed after flaming hypocrisy alert.

(Politico)- According to his public schedule, Obama has four behind-closed-doors meetings from 10 a.m. to 3:05 p.m.: his daily briefing, a talk with the USAID administrator, a session with senior advisers, and a huddle with his defense secretary. All of the meets are in the Oval Office, and all of them are “closed press,” the White House says.

But at 2:55 p.m., Obama will emerge to “accept an award from a coalition of good government groups and transparency advocates to recognize ‘his deep commitment to an open and transparent government—of, by, and for the people’ in conjunction with Sunshine Week,” the White House said in guidance to reporters.

Mind-Bending Hypocrisy: Obama Tells High School Grads To Not Blame Others For Their Failures

President Obama told High School graduates it’s easy to blame others when problems arise. His hypocrisy is astounding. I can't beat this snarky comment posted at Weasel Zippers.

George W. Bush unavailable for comment…

Breitbart reported:

President Barack Obama is telling high school graduates in Michigan not to make excuses, and to take responsibility for failures as well as successes.

In excerpts of remarks to be delivered Monday evening at Kalamazoo Central High School, Obama said that it’s easy to blame others when problems arise. “We see it every day out in Washington, with folks calling each other names and making all sorts of accusations on TV,” the president said.

The 1,700-student high school in southwest Michigan landed Obama as its commencement speaker...

Al Gore Increases His Carbon Footprint

Al Gore wants to reduce CO2 emissions as long as it's someone else making the sacrifice. As for Al, he just bought a $9 million, six fireplace, five bedroom and nine bathroom villa on the California Coast. Saving the planet from global warming has it's privileges. Just saying...

The LA Times reported:

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal.

The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Obama: The Wall Street Hypocrite (video)

Obama received $994,795 in donations from Goldman Sachs employees in 2008 and was visited 4 times in the White House by Goldman Sachs executives, but he calls Republicans the party of Wall Street. President Obama is refusing to give the donations back and hasn't complied with Republican demands to see White House contacts with the SEC during this time period. Obama "categorically denies" any contact with the SEC about Goldman Sachs. Can anyone say "Son of Enron?"

From the The O’Reilly Factor:

Mind Exploding Hypocrisy From The Left

Here is another example of the mind exploding hypocrisy of the left. Joan Walsh on MSNBC reams Sarah Palin for using the term "un-American" to describe some of Obama's policies. In December, Walsh called Republicans "un-American" and "traitorous."

More Head Exploding Hypocrisy By The Left

Chris Mathews got his panties in a bunch over the use of the term 'regime' to describe the Obama administration. Matthews said, "I've never seen language like this in the American press."

(Byron York)-

Matthews didn't stop there. "I never heard the word 'regime,' before, have you?" he said to NBC's Chuck Todd. "I don't even think Joe McCarthy ever called this government a 'regime.'"

Matthews is either senile or competing for the title of 'World's Biggest Hypocrite."

It appears that Matthews has suffered a major memory loss. I don't have the facilities to search for every utterance of Joe McCarthy, but a look at more recent times reveals many, many, many examples of the phrase "Bush regime." In fact, a search of the Nexis database for "Bush regime" yields 6,769 examples from January 20, 2001 to the present.

It was used 16 times in the New York Times....
