Retroactive hypocrisy 

A special case of a strawman argument in which, after being criticized for being hypocritical, one intentionally mischaracterizes the criticism as being an additional layer of hypocrisy.
Person A) "It's pure hypocrisy that after being so concerned with Hillary's private emails, Republicans are shrugging after we find out Ivanka Trump has been sending official White House business emails from a private account."

Person B: "Oh, what? So you were perfectly fine with Hillary doing it, but you care all of a sudden when Ivanka does it? It's YOU who's a hypocrite."

Person A: "Don't pull that retroactive hypocrisy on me. I didn't say anything about my own approval or disapproval of either Hillary or Ivanka."

American Hypocrisy 

Noun

A noun used to describe that special brand of hypocrisy that is oh-so American.

"There's this very specifically American brand of hypocrisy that I think is quite interesting.

The same people that are fanatical about religion, and think it belongs in politics love the constitution, despite that being unconstitutional.

The same people that spout off their second ammendment rights do not see a problem with the government infringing upon it.

The same people who think they are so free accept that they spend most of their lives in offices or factories just to be able to scrape by financially whilst somebody richer than them profits from their work.

The same people who are perfectly fine with trying young black boys as adults don't think anyone that young could possibly be seen as an adult in any other case, especially when voting or even just having valid opinions."

"Freedom for all except the blacks, the queers, the heathens, the sluts, the Arabs, and the disabled."
WHOOOH!!! 'MURICA THE BEST!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!"

"What's wrong with them?"

"Oh, nothing, just their American Hypocrisy."

transparent hypocrisy 

the intentional misrepresentation (or uncanny delusion) that you are supposedly being transparent
Transparent hypocrisy - like preaching temperance from a bar stool; C-SPAN (seen all those televised proceedings that were promised during the election campaigns?);

- like claiming to be a patriot while giving aid and comfort to the enemy (raising a question about whether the Supreme court decision might somehow eventually allow an imbalance in citizens rights while granting a non-citizen terrorist the full legal rights of a citizen)
- is like worrying about global warming, but not about your globetrotting airplane habit or mansion-sized electric bill

not hypocrisy 

The things that ignorant right wing, mainly American republican twats like to use as their arguments against the left wing They accuse us of hypocrisy and here I explain how wrong they are.

1) Apparently we are hypocrital because we hold life sacred in that we oppose the death penalty but are also pro-abortion. They completely mis understand because I for one, DON'T hold life sacred but hold HAPPINESS sacred. look at it like that and we're not hypocritical.
How much unHAPPINESS can a unborn foetus suffer, even in the very unlikely chance that these extremely young foetus have emotions when they don't know their going to die and are killed quickly when COMPARED TO the CONTINUOUS suffering of an unwanted child an unwanting mother whos had her life destroyed OR the unHAPPINESS of an innocent person on death row or even a guilty person who made one mistake for whatever incomprehensable and hence unjudgeable reason (and can we really ever trust humans not to make mistakes enough to allow them power of life and death over someone?)

2) Apparently we are hypocritical because we oppose hatred and intollerance and yet hate and are intollerant of those who aren't left wing. Well, we oppose OFFENSIVE intollerance. Intollerance for no reason other than someones harmless religious devotion or sexual preference. That sort of intollerance is bullying on a national scale. And are you intollerant of a school yard bully's bullying if you stand up to him? Are you not allowing him to express himself through the way he injures and makes miserable that geek kid?
Right winger: You liberal scum are so hypocritical

Left Winger: Read above ^ and aren't you the people who think that people on income support and asylum seekers get more money than they deserve (even though its barely enough to live on) and yet don't seem to mind it that in your anti-tax the rich society kids can get more money they deserve (and this time ITS MASSES MORE THAN THEY NEED TO LIVE ON) just because their parents are rich?

Right winger: um.... errrrr.... I need to rethink.
