Name calling

Excellent post...

My experience with people such as your coworker is that they use those insults trying to portray conservative hypocrisy. Conservative's think divorce is wrong..."AHA!!! Rush is divorced you hypocrite!!" What they fail to understand is that someone could be divorced, but still see it as wrong, or perhaps something they regret, or something they are trying to rectify, or something they hope never to do again. It's the same with drug use, drinking and other moral failings. Conservsatives tend to understand that life is a daily struggle to live virtuously, and sometimes one suffers setbacks. What matters is how one handles or makes amends for those setbacks.

But on your larger point...you're right that we could all step back and see if we engage in the same behavior. I know I've been guilty of it.
