Al Franken, Hillary, Kennedy, Caught!

Breaking from NewsMax.com

A new book by a top investigative journalist exposes the blatant hypocrisy of

liberals who loudly espouse principles they disregard in their own personal

lives.

In "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy," Hoover Fellow

Peter Schweizer reveals the glaring contradictions between the public stances

and real-life behavior of prominent liberals including Michael Moore, Ted

Kennedy, Al Franken, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Ralph Nader - among

others. [NewsMax has a free offer for this new book - Go Here Now.]

"Hypocrisy has proved to be a wonderful weapon for liberals in their war against

conservatives," Schweizer writes in the November issue of NewsMax Magazine.

"Yet for all the talk about conservative hypocrisy, there has been very little

investigation into the prevalence of hypocrisy on the left."

After two years of research into liberal hypocrisy, Schweizer said, "what I

discovered was just stunning."

Schweizer's well-annotated book, published by Doubleday, has just been released

and its sure to turn several well-known liberals red with anger.

Among the eye-opening revelations of "Do As I Say":

Filmmaker Michael Moore insists that corporations are evil and claims he doesn't

invest in the stock market due to moral principle. But Moore's IRS forms, viewed

by Schweizer, show that over the past five years he has owned shares in such

corporate giants as Halliburton, Merck, Pfizer, Sunoco, Tenet Healthcare, Ford,

General Electric and McDonald's.

Staunch union supporter Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) has received the Cesar Chavez

Award from the United Farmworkers Union. But the $25 million Northern California

vineyard she and her husband own is a non-union shop.

The hypocrisy doesn't end there. Pelosi has received more money from the Hotel

Employees and Restaurant Employees union than any other member of Congress in

recent election cycles.

But the Pelosis own a large stake in an exclusive hotel in Rutherford, Calif. It

has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to

Schweizer, author of "The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty" and a regular

contributor to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other periodicals.

The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900

employees. The chain is - that's right, a non-union shop.

Ralph Nader is another liberal who claims that unions are essential to protect

worker rights. But when an editor of one of his publications tried to form a

union to ameliorate miserable working conditions, the editor was fired and the

locks changed on the office door.

Self-described socialist Noam Chomsky has described the Pentagon as "the most

vile institution on the face of the earth" and lashed out against tax havens

and trusts that benefit only the rich.

But Chomsky has been paid millions of dollars by the Pentagon over the last 40

years, and he used a venerable law firm to set up his irrevocable trust to

shield his assets from the IRS.

Air America radio host Al Franken says conservatives are racist because they

lack diversity and oppose affirmative action. But fewer than 1 percent of the

people he has hired over the past 15 years have been African-American.

Ted Kennedy has fought for the estate tax and spoken out against tax shelters.

But he has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and private

foundations that have shielded most of his family's fortune from the IRS.

One Kennedy family trust wasn't even set up in the U.S., but in Fiji.

Another family member, environmentalist Robert Kennedy Jr., has said that it is

not moral to profit from natural resources. But he receives an annual check

from the family's large holdings in the oil industry.

Barbra Streisand has talked about the necessity of unions to protect a "living

wage." But she prefers to do her filming and postproduction work in Canada,

where she can pay less than American union wages.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have spoken in favor of the estate tax, and in 2000

Bill vetoed a bill seeking to end it. But the Clintons have set up a contract

trust that allows them to substantially reduce the amount of inheritance tax

their estate will pay when they die.

Hillary, for her part, has written and spoken extensively about the right of

children to make major decisions regarding their own lives. But she barred

13-year-old daughter Chelsea from getting her ears pierced and forbid the teen

from watching MTV or HBO.

Billionaire Bush-basher George Soros says the wealthy should pay higher, more

progressive tax rates. But he holds the bulk of his money in tax-free overseas

accounts in Curacao, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

Schweizer writes: "Liberals claim to support affirmative action but don't

practice it. They support higher taxes but set up complicated tax shelters to

avoid paying them. They claim to be ardent environmentalists but abandon their

cause when it impinges on their own property rights.

"The reality is that liberals like to preach in moral platitudes. They like to

condemn ordinary Americans and Republicans for a whole host of things - racism,

lack of concern for the poor, polluting the environment, and greed.

"But when it comes to applying those same standards to themselves, liberals are

found to be shockingly guilty of hypocrisy.

"The media and the American people need to hold them accountable."
