Why do people who are outwardly vehemently opposed to something...

[omg_lemurs]

... always wind up in the news for doing the thing they make it their life's work to condemn?

I'm thinking about this because of a recent story about a prostitute in Washington D.C. who was charged with running an escort service. Some of her clients include very powerful politicians one of which who has already stepped down. Randall Tobias was the director of a foreign aide agency that required recipient countries of foreign aide for AIDS to explicitly condemn prostitution or else they weren't entitled to help. Apparently that was a policy that took a lot of heat from the countries and also from relief organizations.

Now this might not be the best example I can think of but have you noticed that whenever a politician, a public figure, or a celebrity gets in trouble for something it always happens to be the something that they have vehemently condemned and judged others in public?

Like Newt Gingrich during the Clinton impeachment. The guy was fuckin' on his wife and lying about it (well... conveniently not saying anything about it) while he was trying to get Clinton impeached for... fucking on his wife and lying about it.

Or that one anti-gay tevangelical who ended up being a big fruit.

Or Rush Limbough and his hillbilly heroin addiction.

I would think if I'm going to do something immoral or wrong I wouldn't make it my lifes work to speak against it in public. I'd save myself the embarrassment, Jesus Christ. Now everytime I see someone speak out against something in public I automatically assume they're doing it themselves and trying to cover for it because they think others suspect them.

You're forgetting that pedo politician who was in charge of that program against child abuse and abduction, but was sending pornographic e-mails and private messages to the high-school-age pages working in Congress.

wow, you use big words

[omg_lemurs]

Do I? Which words are you referring to.

[G The Resurrected]

  I was joking.

Your thread sucks.

[omg_lemurs]

If I see a leader of an anti-gay movement on TV I'm thinking this guy must have sucked some bad cock.

[Ichirou]

Ouch.  Poor Nick. :/

Have you ever appeared on a TV program or on your own radio show and announced that god hates fegs?

If not then you're safe from my accusing finger.

I was referring to G about the fat blob statement.

It's been awhile since I've taken a Psych class, but this behavior is quite normal. It's basically a condition we have inside of us when we are doing something that is socially shameful. We in turn crusade or try to over compensate.

For example, when we are younger and we start to tease the opposite sex (or same sex, think of overly advert gay bashers who turn out to be homosexual) because we aren't sure we should like them yet.  Usually if someone is taking an extreme stance on a particular activity, there is a good chance that they are either actively involved in the subject matter. Or they have been affected in some way in their past by that activity. It's just basically a coping mechanism of someone that is deeply disturbed with themself.
