#2 Dont forget 'Accusing the opposition'. Used often in politics (Democrats particularly). It is where you accuse your opponent of the crime you, yourself, are committing. That way when you are eventually caught doing it you can claim 'well they { are doing it too | started doing it first }'.

Example: The MSM often accuse Fox News of being a 'Conservative outlet' and getting 'Talking points from the white house' (Dan Rather) without a shread of evidence. At the same time the MSM also often simply echoes Democratic positions ('Everyone knows for example Bush lied in the lead up to the Iraq war' for example).
