Since I'm not beating the war drums for invasion of anywhere and have only supported US military action twice in my life-- to restore Aristide and protect the Kosovars from oppression and slaughter-- I'm not sure what the hypocrisy is at all, although the ignorance of the response keeps going on and on.
To repeat, if this is how those who oppose the war get treated, it's no surprise that the fence-sitters increasingly loathe the abuse they receive from self-righteous lefties who don't want to even consider that people of good faith may have arguments on their side of the debate that need to be respected, if not agreed with.
