141. So essentially, it's okay to ignore hypocrites....
....whose actions and votes get gay people relegated to second class citizenship?

Where do we get to draw the line? Is it just sexual orientation? Race, religion, ethnic background? Behavior?

Should Newt's affairs been off limits to discuss publically while he was simultaneously spouting about Clinton's behavior and persecuting him for it?

Should we just give a Rush a pass and hope he gets treatment instead of hard jail time that he advocated for drug users?

These are difficult question and it deserves better than an "always wrong"/"always right" answer.
