Unintended Consequence of the Hypocrisy Defense

There definitely seems to be some truth to it. [Link]

Well, for the “at least we’re not hypocrites” sentiment to make sense, there must be an agreed-upon starting point — one which the liberals themselves are confirming each time they make this argument. And what must that starting point necessarily be? For conservatives to be hypocrites when they do something immoral, then that means they must profess a moral ideology in the first place. And — here’s the key — for the liberals to be let off the hook when they do something immoral, then that means they must profess an ideology with no moral claims whatsoever.

I don't think those liberals who make hypocrisy claims intend for this interpretation, but this is the logical conclusion.
