The point of the thread was to show general hypocrisy that occurs in politics, in this case on the left. It would be similar to hearing Mark Foley (16 year old page scandal) proselytizing about moral Christian values.

I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but you must also lead by example if you are to get your message across.
