Jay Tea over on Wizbang had a pretty neat observation I thought I’d share:

Recently, I’ve come to an insight on one of the reasons I dislike the Left. It’s one of those things that, in hindsight, is flagrantly obvious, but I don’t recall anyone ever pointing it out.

When something bad happens, or something goes wrong, it is human instinct to try to affix blame. To find out just what happened, and do what they can to make sure it doesn’t happen again. It’s not always the most productive reaction, but it is natural.

The left, though, takes it a bit further. When there are two sides involved, they almost always assign blame to the side that is trying to do the right thing, and utterly exonerates those who actually commit the wrongdoing.

He got it exactly right.
