Actually they are pretty tolerant of other people Except when someone disagrees with them. That's when fire alarms and riots happen. I don't see that any particular political leaning one way or the other has anything whatsoever to do with a person's tolerance or not. You can pick people from all walks of life, across the whole political or religious spectrum that will fit one box or the other. It's a complete and utter red herring. are you kidding me? on the whole its the left who are "intolerant" of people who disagree and who are violent in response to it. is that an inherent quality in a progressive worldview? maybe, maybe not, though I would argue that it is. nevertheless, on the whole, its the lefties who are the usual suspects behind shutting down free speech or resorting to violence. That myopic PoV could only come from a rightie. Righties say the same about the lefties as the lefties say about the righties. Those that aren't at either end will say nothing or attack both sides. Religion, politics, or whatever subject has nothing whatsoever to do with whether a person is tolerant or not. Tolerance is a subjective personal trait, nothing to do with what they do, what they believe or anything else. If you want to make a political point or make mileage out of something completely unrelated makes you ubtuse and myopic. If you have any evidence whatsoever that 'lefties' are any worse than 'righties' then please cite a creditable source. Otherwise it's just your personal perspective and opinion. Nothing else.
