Would you agree, very few groups are more intolerant than the ones demanding "Tolerance"?

Update:

Well! I see some people are condoning this as an act of vengeance.

    Absolutely! The New tolerance is not what people used to think of as tolerance. It used to be that tolerance meant that I may not agree with you, but you have a right to live your life in peace. Now tolerance means that even if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, in addition to actually tolerating that person you must embrace and celebrate that lifestyle.

    For example, if I say that I am a Christian and I think that homosexuality is a sin, even if I also say that to discriminate against someone because they are homosexuals is wrong, I am still intolerant because I disapprove of the lifestyle. And since my position is considered intolerant, I am labeled a "hater" (that's the latest buzzword). And it's OK to be intolerant against me because I myself am intolerant.

    No.

    A person seeking the same rights for themselves that everyone else has can NEVER be intolerant enough.

    You may recall a time in history when a bunch of young colonies called "America" stood up to it's owner, and went to war for Freedom.

    From your link:

    "Imagine a volunteer for the Family Research Council marching into some gay group's headquarters with a gun, and after shouting his opposition to the homosexual agenda, opened fire and wounded a guard before being subdued."

    How many Gay People have been tortured and killed by anti gay bigots over the years?

    "Gay bashing is alive in Louisville as girl is attacked by anti-gay bigots"

    The American Revolution was an act of vengeance?

    Many groups that are demanding "tolerance" are simply demanding that everyone conform to their narrow-minded "The world should be the way I/we say it should be" view. If you disagree with their position, YOU are automatically labeled as the narrow-minded intolerant one. Who died and put these people/groups in the position of God, determining right and wrong? And if their position is "right" then why can't they defend their positions with sensible, logical, cogent arguments? The way these people blindly bash their detractors tells you A LOT about how "tolerant" they are...

    The way you judge a group is by their silence, or worse, apologist behavior, when an event like this occurs.

    That says it all.

    One should never judge the group on the basis of the act of an individual.

    Depends. But generally yes, those who claim to want tolerance, can be intolerant themselves.

    Arent you one of those people who go around claiming that feminists are taking over the world and gay people are evil and that mexicans are going to swarm the country? Yeah, for whatever reason, I don't put too much stock into your view.
