The irony of Adwords

So I can’t help noticing that at this moment most of the sponsored links off to the right of this page are for the sort of hate-filled anti-immigrant screeds I’ve been condemning. My first thought was that I hate seeing them there, so I was going to block them. But I’m not the sort to so readily block opinions I don’t like, so I didn’t do that. Then I had a better idea. These are all pay-per-click sponsored links — so everyone who really dislikes them should just click on them and make these guys pay.

See? Capitalism does work.
