How do I deal with being a bigot towards bigots?

I will lay it flat for you: I hate bigots. I think they should burn or at least become more tolerant somehow. They should not think to irrationally beat up or shout at people who happen to fall under a certain group. How would they like it if they were subjected to that kind of treatment.

Ok, now that that's out of they way...

How do I make myself less bigoted? Most people would look at the above quote and see it as ironic.

Me, I think I am being a hypocrite.

What do I do?

    Well, you don't hate them because they don't agree with you, do they? You hate them because you consider their stance to be ethically and socially unjustified. Presumably you have sound reasons for doing so. So I wouldn't call you bigoted, though it's to your credit that you're introspective enough to consider that a possibility.
