I'm with Bill Maher. He's been consistent about pointing out that he and many liberals* fully supported the US's aggression against Afghanistan. I'm anti-war, but I support it when it is needed, and there ARE conditions where it's needed. Aggression was needed in Afghanistan. It was not needed in Iraq.
To use a different analogy, vegetarians are anti-meat, but any that own cats are aware hopefully aware that cats NEED meat. For a vegetarian to be anti-meat but feed their cats meat isn't hypocritical, it's sensible.
* Deliberately phrased this way, since I'm not sure if he identifies as liberal
