That's nice. Would someone like to point out his hypocrisy? I still don't see it.
Mind you, I don't agree with him on a lot of things, and there is no love lost between myself and the religious right. But be honest here, where is the hypocrisy?
The harder the left jumps on this, the worse they will look.
Hey, if Clinton should've been perfect, Bennett should've been perfect. I love the assinine belief that anyone is perfect. The guy was obviously playing with fire, does that mean everything he ever wrote should be dismissed, no more than it means everything good that Clinton did should be entirely dismissed. People fvck up. Show me someone who hasn't been hypocritical about something in their life and I'll show you a vegetable. The glory of being human...the libs should burn all of his books, yank them out of Barns & Noble stores and never go to his rock concerts again.

Good Grief! How you can defend this wanker blows my mind. I guess when you get an idea in your head you hate to give up on it no matter how ludicrous it is. Bennett is a perfect case of "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" I guess it's up to Bennett to decide what is Moral and what isn't huh? Well if that's the case then it's up to me what I decide is hypocrasy and what isn't and in my book he's a Hyporite no matter what you think (hehe.. like it mattered before)

Red, look at this objectively. As I stated before, I disagree with Bennett more often than I agree with him. I'm not defending him, I'm pointing out the stupidity of this becoming an issue the left is jumping on.
The whole point is, Bennett has NEVER spoken against legal gambling. Therefore, he cannot logically, by any stretch, be labled a hypocrite on this issue. He is not throwing stones at any glass house, because he hasn't built one where gambling is concerned.
Think of it this way: I'm not defending him, I'm warning people about looking like idiot zealots pointing fingers at a non-issue and screaming like the aliens in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
i didn't say teaching, i said preaching. morals are a relative thing in my mind, even though there are certain (very very few)values that should be accepted by any half-way intelligent person. what is being passed as "morality" in this country (and many other countries too) is really not morality, but a set of arbitrary rules with different origins. hence my use of quotes.

Amused: I get it. If I had 10's of millions of $, then I could go to Nevada, spend $8 million on hookers(at a legal establishment), then the wife would have no right to complain. I could then write books on the evils of Gambling, alcohol/drug use, and various sexual practices! As long as I don't mention Hookers in Nevada I'm as good as gold!! woot

had he spent 8 mill in the last 10 years traveling the world, buying fancy new cars and yachts, no-one would say a word. His form of entertainment is slot machines. His family is well taken care of, they have no money problems, he should have just told the media, "None of your damn business" and walked away, instead of acting all wimpy about it.

No, it exists because there is an opposing faction willing to step all over themselves in rabid attampts to shoot this guy down. It's not making him look bad, but it is making the radical left look like loons.
And while I don't agree with much of what he preaches, how is he any different than environmentalists, anti-capitalists, and political correctness fanatics? They are ALL preaching a brand of morality and ALL of them firmly believe going against their morality is dangerous for society.
Save yur damn preaching for Sunday School, Amused. Next week we'll probably find out you been doing bad trades on e-bay. Mr. Look at this Objectively indeed. Ahahahahaha. Try smelling it with your nose.
You are right. I have no moral authority over my children, because I have sinned, and I still sin (mostly in the internet). Therefore, I should not instruct them in morals. Otherwise, I'm a hypocrite.

Ah come on, it's cool to kick those who kick others when they are down. Bennet is like Falwell, Robertson and the rest of those hypocrites and needs to eat a steaming bowl of "Shut the Fsck Up" This is a well deserved come uppence.
You children are your charges. On the other hand Bennett is an artificial Moral Leader as pronounced by the Far Right, another group of morally bankrupt Hypocrites. The fsck was getting rich telling people how they should live and pissing that money away on Gambling. It's totally legal, it just undermines any Authority the Hypocrite thought he had. Hopefully this will ruin his career os the Czar of Morality and we won't have to listen to him blather on about it anymore.
for anyone using the "gambling is legal" arguement, the question is morality, not legality. Prostitution is legal in parts of Nevada as well, while it might be legal, I doubt many would argue how moral it was for a married man to engage in such activity.
It's not for us to judge the morals of another, Alistar, especially a morality preacher's. And any similarities between Bennet and Bush are purely imaginary.

So does anyone here think gambling is immoral? anyone?
OK - I'll say it is moral.
And while I believe gambling is moral I also believe that pron, pre-marital sex, and drug use are immoral. So why is it hypocritical of me to preach my "morals" and gamble? Did I tell anyone that gambling was bad? nope. Did I tell that that is was good? nope. I didn't mention a thing about gambling when "preaching my morals".Now I'm no fan of Bennett but I agree with Amused - this is nothing more than a leftist stunt to try and discredit the right.

Way to shoot down any credibility that Amused might of had with his argument
BTW,I'm not a Leftist and I think that Bennett is a fscking Hypocrite. To me it seems that those on the right (with the exception of Amused who isn't a "Right Winger") are coming to the defense of Herr Bennett because they perceive it as an attack on the right by the left when it is more an instance of a Finger Pointer being shown as a Hypocrite.
Bennett?s Gambling Addiction doesn't make him scum, his preaching to others how they should live does. Frankly I'm glad that this has come out in the open because it shoots down any credibility that he and his supporters had. These Moral Majority fscks need to worry about their own house and should stop telling the others how they should live. Frankly wasting 8 millions Dollars on a Gambling Addiction is sick, no matter whether it is legal or not. Hey it's his money to do with what he wants but an addiction is an addiction, whether it's Porn, Drugs or Gambling and one who is addicted shouldn't be telling others how they should go about their own business.
