Personally, I think the best part of the Chick Hypocrisy is how, when one of his tracts gets mentioned on the boards (as they do every few months) there are a bunch of people popping up suggesting that the government should execute him ("how can the government let him keep breathing") or that they should round up a posse and beat him unconscious or torture him with car batteries because he is intolerant.
He may well be intolerant. He may well be a fool. (I don't know about that myself and am not seriously concerned enough to care). But I see nothing in the discussion to make him a hypocrite. (He may think that Tolkein and Lewis's works are heretical and/or anti-Christian which is foolish but there's nothing necessarily hypocritical about it). And every time something like this comes up, I see all sorts of vile bile spouted by the advocates of so-called "tolerance". That's the real hypocrisy.
