You're treating his every statement as suspect by default based on the racial, sexual and political stereotype you are projecting onto him. The burden of proof

You're treating his every statement as suspect by default based on the racial, sexual and political stereotype you are projecting onto him.
The burden of proof for accusations of this nature (or any serious nature) should always be on the accuser, not the accused.
- psykotic 14y agoIt's a blog post, not a legal document, so what do you expect? I have gotten independent albeit second-hand verification of a few of the episodes. Ignoring that, I still see nothing to warrant accusations of whining and lying. People yelling 'hypocrisy' and using it as evidence against his truthfulness are looking to rationalize their gut response, nothing more. Hypocrisy may be a weighty accusation against grandstanding moralists in the public square, but it has absolutely no relevance here.
