[quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous]This notion that one side is more intolerant than another, proves the point that intolerance exists on both sides. BOTH sides have members that want to force their beliefs on others. The only tolerant group are the people who can see that both sides are entitled to their opinions and don't throw around judgmental statements classifying an entire group as having the exact same character flaws.

Actually, since it is very unlikely that tolerance would divide exactly 50-50, it proves nothing of the sort.  Sure there is intolerance on both sides, but I do not know of a concerted attempt by the left to turn "conservative" into a dirty word, the way Fox and many GOP politicos do with "liberal" and "progressive".  There are conservatives, like Scarborough and Brooks, to give a couple of examples, who respect people of varied opinions, and some on the left are  intolerant of other views, but I would strongly maintain that it is a fiction to equate the institutionalized intolerance of much of the right with the sporadic closed-mindedness of some on the left.[/quote]
