(n) - one of the few things liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, and people in general have in common.
If one were to be truly honest with oneself, one would realize that he/she falls into hypocrisy. For example, almost everyone preaches that we should love everyone, but few practice that.

When someone does something openly that is looks good to others, when in reality they have disturbing, disgusting, destructive and nasty intentions
Judas was a hypocrite that sold out Jesus even though he got so much from him. He just wanted money. The government sells people to corporations because of hypocrisy of people at the top.

"Hypocrisy does suck, yes. BUT, it is in our human nature to be hypocrites. If you don't admit that you're a hypocrite, then you're a hypocrite. ALL human beings are hypocrites. Not just politicians and communists. And believe it or not, not JUST women either!.....although women are known to very hypocritical. Nevertheless, you're a hypocrite, he's a hypocrite, she's a hypocrite, and even I AM A HYPOCRITE. It's all about admitting whether or not you are one. If you admit you're a hypocrite, then you could get somewhere in life. The reason people can't admit that they're hypocrites is because of their ego, and for some, they have their ego because they feel that they have a cause to uphold.....this is especially true of being a politician. A politician is basically a bureaucrat in a sense. Hypocrisy can be evident because of bureaucratic structures, such as the fact that bureaucrats are mindless people who only follow orders. And George W Bush is widely considered a hypocrite because of the liberal elite.......well whatever. We're all hypocrites. Got it?"

The act of condemning an act when it is done by other people while not doing so when the exact same act is performed by a person or a certain group of people or organizations.
Recently George W. Bush admitted on tape that he smoked marijuana. The silence from the right is deafing, but several years ago when Clinton admitted that he smoked but didn't inhale the right nearly crucified him.
