While Hiroshi Sato did become hypocritical by attempting to kill his own daughter, I think he was just confused and was driven to insanity. Ozai and Yakone (especially Ozai) are the real winners as to who's the worst father.

Ozai was driven by power and used his hierarchy to oppress the other nations - even his own people - and banned his son when he actually spoke some sense. There was no paternal connection between the two and he never really was there for his children, only Ursa seemed to express concern for them. In fact, Ozai also tried killing his child and even inflicted a scar on his own son's face.

As for Yakone, I'm sure he actually did love his sons, but his bitter hatred for the Avatar and his lust for vengeance blinded him (similar to Hiroshi), but the difference between them is that Sato never forced Asami and tried to do his best to provide her with life necessities (i.e. self-defense). Maybe I'm not explaining this as best I could, but Yakone lashed out on Tarrlok everytime he screwed up and tried to convince his sons to bloodbend each other. I just didn't see any of this harsh or forceful behavior in Hiroshi. And, besides bloodbending being somewhat of a probable defense, this was for his own intentions and what he did to achieve his goals were evil and sadistic.
