Idiocy is the realm of neither the Left nor the Right.
As an example, both sides can be racist. They just show it in different ways.
"Ron" won't hire "Ted" because "Ted" is black.
"Larry" will hire "Ted" because "Ted" is black.
For both, the sole criterion of Ted's employment was his race. "Ron" ignored the fact that "Ted" is the most qualified applicant for that position, while "Larry" ignored the fact that his "Ted" wasn't even in the top half of qualified applicants.
Both "Larry" and "Ron" will lie and say that they aren't racist. "Ron" will say that "Ted" wasn't hired because of (insert lame excuse here). "Larry" will actually advertise that he hired "Ted" and use it to illustrate that he's not racist, completely ignoring the fact that the sole criterion for "Ted's" employment was his race.
