People in glass houses

I was intrigued by this post on Hobo Tread in which Skif says he was pleased to see that Daily Mail columnist Peter Hitchens stuck the boot into Robert Kilroy-Silk, labelling him "ludicrous".

Slight problem with your argument there, Pete, old chap - it's your paper and its thinly veiled racist agenda that gives Kilroy-Silk the scant credibility he has.

What's more, you're a fine one to be calling someone else "ludicrous", you with your Middle Englander siege mentality, you who takes every opportunity to spout your the-end-of-the-world-is-nigh, we're-all-going-to-be-eaten-alive-by-gay-asylum-seeking-single-mums schtick.

Or perhaps my viewpoint is coloured by the run-in my good friend He Who Cannot Be Named had with a bunch of foaming-at-the-mouth bigots from the messageboard of Hitchens's website...
