There's nothing intolerant about hating intolerance.

A concept Sean Hannity and FReepers will never grasp.

2. I could not agree more

the "you progressives are intolerant of hate" thing is a badly thought out right wing meme which attempts to distract from what is going on. It is the new cry of "political correctness." Which is how I tend to respond - I ask the rightie in question who claims that I am being intolerant if he is advocating political correctness now.

To ignore hate speech is not the same thing as tolerance.

3. Exactly!

4. hating an intolerance is not hating a person but a behavior. and no

there is nothing wrong in that. but being intolerant of the intolerant is still being intolerant when asking a person who is intolerant of another to be tolerant, we are asking them to see the whole of a person and understand that people come to the place that they are for all kinds of reasons, and they still have a place on this earth. the same is true even for the intolerant. that doesn't mean validate, justify or excuse the behavior when being tolerant of the intolerant. it simply means being able to love the person, understanding there are behaviors that are damaging or harmful or something we may not agree with, though we may not have a full understanding. we cannot have a full understanding. and if we understand this concept, then we dont approve but leaves open for love, ergo healing.
