February 24th, 2016 5:17 PM
Everyone knows the meaning of the word "hypocrite" and no one can claim absolute constancy when it comes to living a life consistent with one's stated values. But in this election year, hypocrisy is on full display. It is now being practiced with neither shame nor irony by leading Democrats, who once forcefully argued positions they have now abandoned.

MSNBC's Matthews: 'True Peace' in Middle East Won't Happen Until Pales
