A great case study would be telegangelists.
They preach Christ while driving around in limos, employing hookers and taking meth.
They are the living embodiment of hypocrisy.
Second to them would be any right to lifer who is anti-environmental. Or Christian who espouses love while praying for a global apocalypse.

Name a country which does more for other countries than the US. Name a country which has historically stepped up after a natural disaster like the US. Name a country which has come to the defense of other countries as the US has.
You want a poster child for hypocrisy...HIllary "I am proud to have voted for the war effort...er which Bush misinterpreted as authority...oops...I stand by my decision...I er mean...the troops were mistakenly told to dispose Saddam...uh...What was I talking about?" Clinton

I've been wondering where you were hiding. You couldn't stand the heat on the palistinian issue so now you are attacking the US directly. Once again I point out that the UK has done NOTHING to address the issues you so piously point out as American failures. Clean your own house before you point fingers you hypocrite.

You had better examine your own nation before you cast the first stone. Everyone is a hypocrite and every nation has hypocracy whether they admit it or not.
Oh if you are an American citizen I would say examine any nation and try to come up with one that is blameless. Its just not gonna happen.

Please read history - The real history of this nation and you will find out how hypocritical we have been - We have ransacked, stolen, raped and murdered - Not nice at all -
Something you will not be taught in school - Starting with the so called " American" (?) West, Hawaii, The Philipines, Mexico. And numerous interventions in South America.

It seems you know a little about using a dictionary. The USA is not a person. It, therefore, cannot be hypocritical.

Do you believe all 300 million Americans have any single unified opinion, about anything ? If not, there is no hypocrasy.
I disagree ;-)

Actually the subject should be narrowed down to the far right conservatives.
