No, they're hypocrites for condemning others for the very acts that they themselves readily partake in. It's kind of like a policeman who writes you a ticket for speeding and then you see him the next day driving well over the posted speed limit. Sure, he's not perfect. But he busted you for doing something he readily does himself. How does that affect you respect for that particular police officer? If you see this behavior over and over from police officers, how this affect your respect for the police in general?
Christians do this "do as I say and not as I do" thing every day and after awhile it starts to affect one's respect for their beliefs.

Mike, Christians do not condemn anyone. Your analogy with the cop is just a bit off; Christians do not have the authority to "write the ticket". A more accurate analogy would be a couple of us sitting over a cup of coffee, and one of us says "you speed too much in your Porsche. Watch it, or someday you might get caught, and it will cost you". Both are speeders, driving their Porsches faster than they should on public roads. Both know it. There is no condemnation, no ill will whatsoever involved in this conversation. Just two guys that care if their buddy gets in trouble. That is how Christians view, and how they approach, fellow sinners.
