Double the hypocrisy

The latest Cherniak story just keeps getting better, as the Liblogs administrator is now up in arms over the prospect that anybody would think of comparing him to "Stalin (possibly the worst mass murderer in history)".

Which makes for the following timeline:
- Cherniak claims that doing X makes the NDP "Stalinistic".
- Cherniak does X.
- Cherniak goes into a fit of outrage at the prospect that anybody would compare the act of doing X to anything Stalinistic.

So let's take stock of what kinds of actions are to be considered acceptable in Cherniak's world.

Purging people based on a perceived failure to toe the party line is outrageous. Except when Cherniak does it.

And comparing one's political opponents to Stalin is beyond the pale. Except when Cherniak does it.

This has been today's lesson in Lib principles. Carry on.
