There are two ways to understand the concept of hypocrisy. One is to equate it to the idea of "do as I say, not as I do". The other, used by dictionaries, is that it is a pretense, a gap between what one thinks and what one states.

The first is childish. Ex: The fat doctor is unqualified to give health advice, a clueless opinion-writer's past residence in another state taints any useful advice he might have, and public assembly is inherently un-American.

The second is concerned with motives, not actions: where the thought and the expression don't match. A fat doctor is still a doctor; a Southerner isn't an idiot solely because he's a Southerner; public assembly is not always a precursor to torches and/or lynching.

True hypocrisy is hitting people for being chimerical - while espousing outright lies formed of inadequate review.

(I'd also point out that "running off to be a Rhodes Scholar" doesn't really sound like an indictment at all. Sure beats the circus.)
