This sounds familiar. Didn't the Pharisees sorta "freak out" when Jesus ate with publicans and sinners? (Mark 2:16)
Oh, and when the woman washed Jesus' feet with her tears and the Pharisee "...spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner." (Luke 7:39)
We're supposed to be like Jesus (1 John 2:6, 1 Corinthians 11:1) and He spent "hours" upon hours with sinners. Would you say he was wrong? That we should walk in His steps but ignore this aspect of His ministry?
Funny to me that the things the Pharisees condemned Jesus for -- spending time with sinners -- are still being used as an argument against Christians.
