Fallacy: Ad Hominem Tu Quoque
Also Known as: "You Too Fallacy"
This fallacy is committed when it is concluded that a person's claim
is false because 1) it is inconsistent with something else a person has
said or 2) what a person says is inconsistent with her actions. This
type of "argument" has the following form:
The fact that a person makes inconsistent claims does not make any
particular claim he makes false (although of any pair of inconsistent
claims only one can be true - but both can be false). Also, the fact
that a person's claims are not consistent with his actions might
indicate that the person is a hypocrite but this does not prove his
claims are false.
