If you watch this video (which you should and comment on) you'll see the typical display of the hypocrisy of those who most frequently posture about "tolerance".
The video in question is a presentation by 3 self-described "ex-terrorists" talking about the benefits of being American and the high esteem in which they hold this country. The presentation was at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor MI.
Many of the muslims and leftists in attendance heckle, strut about and attempt to shout down the presenters. These same folks may be ones you see on media whining about their own "free speech" and about "tolerance".
In my experience, conservative and/or open minded audiences listen to presentations respectfully saving their questions, complaints, points and disagreements for the proper time. Q&As are routinely part of such presentations after the prepared remarks.
Leftists and islamic radical (are they radical?) supporters first response to criticisms such as this one is that those such as I don't respect THEIR free speech rights. They conveniently overlook how their "protests" are nothing but an attempt to silence those they can't/won't tolerate. They have no tolerance from ANY point of view that doesn't match their own and wish to suppress, silence or shut down those expressing *incorrect* opinions.
Look at this video again and note the intolerance of those most likely to espouse "tolerance". Share this video with your friends and acquaintances and stand up for ACTUAL tolerance, not to mention simple dignity, towards all points of view.
