I must call bull**** on that one.
I find tolerance to be about equally practiced by liberals and
conservatives, though you may find it preached more frequently by
(political) liberals.


It is a trait I rarely see displayed by pundits of either side.


That's one of the reasons I said Hawke's post was a load of ****. *Most
of the most vehemently intolerant people I know are liberals. *Of
course, that depends on what your definition of "intolerant" is... *If
it's aimed in the right direction, it's somehow "justified".

I think there are "intolerant" people of both political persuasions.

In my experience the conservatives are the ones who win the SOB Award.

But the OP noted...and I agree...that many of the postings we see here
are from conservatives ranting and stamping their feet about the
latest "injustice".

Read the responses to this discussion...and note that the
conservatives are the ones bitching.
