WorldNetDaily managing editor David Kupelian devoted an entire Nov. 8 column to complaining about how liberals like to make people feel guilty. Then he adds this:
Such is the warp and weft of current American politics – all day, every day, to the point that America has grown used to it. The left advances a shockingly destructive agenda; the right complains; the left accuses the right of being fascists and Nazis … and the right shuts up.
[…]The left’s guilt-tripping mania has gotten so bad – with constant attacks on President Trump as “Hitler” and his supporters as “white supremacists,” and violent antifa assaults on the constitutionally protected free-speech rights of others (while calling them “fascists”) – that some progressive activists have had enough and are finally sounding the alarm.
It seems that Kupelian has forgotten how many times the website he operates likened President Obama to Nazis in general and Hitler specifically. He clearly had no problem in using his website to hurl that smear around as a cheap, crass political attack; in fact, Kupelian’s WND was proud to do so.
Does this mean that he and WND were trying to guilt-trip America into … something — you know, the same thing he’s spending an entire column railing against? Why, that makes him a total hypocrite — you know, just like when he sold out his moral code to back Trump.
Let’s not pretend that Kupelian has had a sudden change of heart and will repent the very behavior he now decries. He won’t, because it served its purpose — just like criticizing the very behavior he engaged in serves a purpose now.
