Cut the hypocrisy

Public disagreement and criticism should never include insulting language or behaviour which of their nature betray a weak argument and insecurity of conviction.

I abhor the public insulting of any person or their beliefs, especially the president of our country. But I also abhor gross hypocrisy when exercised by politicians and media.

I refer to the outpouring of support for the Charlie Hebdo magazine to insult any person and any belief in the interests of free speech. This is a legitimate view held by many but it must be exercised consistently or not at all.
