I just discovered "Jon Swift's" smart, satirical weblog. A la Stephen Colbert, "Jon Swift" assumes the identity of a rightwing nutjob blogger in order to skewer far right conservatives.
The first post I ran across uses the Ted Haggard incident to juxtapose conservative hypocrisy with liberal amoralism. The fundamental thesis is that
Conservatives set very high moral standards for others, which they are not always able to meet themselves. When they invariably fall short, liberals call them hypocrites. Liberals set very low moral standards and believe that when they uphold them, they should be congratulated for that.
