How intolerant is the Left becoming? We have Ellen being attacked... Kathy G with that Trump head... Whoopi G constantly shrieking about stuff... It seems that their tolerance is becoming more and more intolerant. They are tolerant until you disagree with them

What exactly is the Left?

I would love to have a beer with you... I can only imagine the hatred that you would start spewing after getting a little buzzed. :lol:

I, too, have noticed the left-wingers starting to take more of a stand here lately. I guess they have given up on the "Kumbaya" dream and decided to give it like they have been getting it. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, I suppose.

It's "eye for an eye" until we all go blind I reckon.

But left wingers need to remember, their counter-parts (rightwingnuts) own, I would guess, over 70% of the small arms in America. And, I would guess, a good 70% of the leftwingers, don't even know which restroom they should use. So, remember that when you go all in to compete with the rightwing assholes by being a leftwing asshole back at them.

Right-wingers will shoot. Left-wingers will blog. So...........

I am disgusted by Trump's actions and those who defend him.

You are the kind of person that thinks that anybody not attacking Trump is defending him I bet... right?

The misinformed deplorables with their hatrid bigotry and fear are a real danger to America.

Besides the "i" not being anywhere near the "e"... what exactly are the Deplorables misinformed about?

Guess you could call me very intolerant

I would call you an extremely hate-filled person... based off of these comments.

its called being intolerant of intolerance and its perfectly acceptable as the entire point is to have a society in which there are some manners, social grace, and propriety.

This is correct and much of that intolerance is a good thing... but the point is that many of the Left are becoming intolerant of things that should not be a big deal and that they escalate things to a degree that it is really just rudeness.... also, they are dictating their beliefs/ideology as the only valid and correct ones and bordering on suppression of free speech as a result. That **** is just wrong.

I'd say some on the left might be taking some cue's from the true nutcases like Hannity, Limbaugh, and Coulter. Sure.

Of course those three (Hannity, Limbaugh, and Coulter) have been shrieking for well over a decade now, so the left still has some catching up to do.

I don't quite see the pendulum in the middle just yet.

So, I voted "other".
Click to expand...

surely those on the Left know that those three are nutcases and do not speak for probably the majority of people that support Trump or that are Right Wing... right?

I'm intolerant of the good people in the Neo Nazi movement. I'm intolerant of people who defend Trump for facilitating the slaughter of the Kurds and settling ISIS fighters in the Kurdish enclave. I'm more intolerant of Trump every day. Based on my myself, I'd say very intolerant and proud of it!:mrgreen:

Were you intolerant of Obama withdrawing our troops from Iraq; arguably the lynchpin for the entire growth of ISIS? Were you one of the "Bush lied, people died" chanters back in the day? Now you're a HAWK?

Not as intolerant as the right.

Intolerance has always existed on both sides. As partisan politics becomes more of the norm, the more intolerant some become.

Is the whole of the left intolerant? No. So why the ridiculous title?

Tolerance doesn't mean you let people walk all over you. Tolerance means live and let live. If someone isn't hurting you or doing anything wrong then you should leave them alone. But if someone is doing something stupid and ****ty that is causing harm to innocence or being genuinely disrespectful you have a responsibility to call them out on their bull****.

Agreed...

Right now there are thousands of innocent little children who have been taken from their families and locked in cages. Their parents have been sent half way around the world never to see them again. That is morally impermissible and we have a responsibility to do everything we can to stop that from happening.

Right now thousands of our Kurdish Allies who fought beside us in the war terror are being slaughtered needlessly while the ISIS prisoners they helped us capture are being set free and allowed to re-engage in the killing of our people and our allies. That is morally impermissible and we have a responsibility to do everything we can to stop that from happening.
Click to expand...

I disagree with pretty much all of this...

Right now we have a criminal president who is very clearly and incontrovertibly guilty of more than 20 different felonies. All of which should require his removal from office. He regularly abuses the power of his office on a daily basis and has obliterated the credibility of the United States radically reducing it's standing in the world and leaving us with little or no moral authority. That is unacceptable and we have a responsibility as Americans do do everything we can to stop this from happening.

Pretty much all politicians, including Presidents, commit felonies, have crooked business dealings, commit immoral sexual acts, start or continue foreign wars, etc. Name a President and I bet I can find some horrible thing that they have done...

This is an absurd thread and your examples don't work because, one, you have removed the context, and two, you are just looking to denigrate "the left." Ellen, who has long been a spokesperson for "the left," is gay and maintains a friendship with someone of "the Right," who has publicly made statements of the anti-gay.
Click to expand...

I support Ellen... that was the point...

Clearly, those two are tolerant of each other, no matter what others (who don't matter) demand, which means ultimately the issue is BS. And Whoopi G has always shrieked and bitched.
Click to expand...

She is an example of the problem that I am referring to...

But you imply that tolerance means allowing others to behave as decrepit as possible without criticism; as in, frowning on a person who wishes to call another a "faggot."
Click to expand...

I am shocked at how many people in this thread can't keep the point in context. The point is the degree of intolerance... not that everybody should tolerate everything... :roll:

What some of "the Left" are doing today smacks of obnoxiousness.
Click to expand...

That is all that you needed to respond with...

But this is a counter-reaction to how irresponsibly tolerant Conservatives have become
Click to expand...

Yes, of course... they have an excuse to be shouting down speakers, blocking traffic of innocent motorists, etc. I bet you don't just stop with their excuse... I bet you think it is their right to do that... to go into a restaurant and insult a person until they are forced to get up and leave... right?

But, like I stated, this thread is only about an attempt to denigrate "the Left." See what I mean about people's political extremism?
Click to expand...

Wrong. The thread is to talk about intolerance of differing ideas, etc. from the Left. Those not doing it are not being discussed. I also did the same thin about Conservatives who were being idiots about Obama... but like so many extremists on both sides... you guys forget that and cast incorrect statements instead.

You, like so many in this thread, are missing the point by not maintaining context.

The Far Right is a massive problem... that is correct. I am willing to bet that you, or some others, will ignore the fact that I bash both sides and instead whine about how bad the right is an excuse to why the left is justified in doing what they do... right?

Those are individual show time personalities. They are always going to be doing stuff that gets them noticed. What is the general run of the voting population doing that makes you think Democrats are intolerant and getting more so?

And that is what makes you a cruel and immoral person. You are violating the basic human rights of children. We do not agree to disagree on that. We do not tolerate that.

Click to expand...
False. You don't get to excuse your president's massive corruption and crimes under a baseless assumption that all politicians and presidents do it. By your logic, Republicans own 4-year investigation into Hillary Clinton was a waste of time since all Presidents commit felonies there was no reason to keep Hillary out of office even if she had committed one.

Of course, as we all know that after four long years and 11 hours worth of testimony before congress under oath you still couldn't come up with even one single solitary crime to charge her or her campaign with. After just two years the Mueller investigation produced more than 30 indictments and enough evidence to charge Trump with more than 10 felonies and that was before this whole mess with Ukraine got started.

President Obama, Jimmy Carter, JFK, LBJ, FDR, Eisenhower...

Please cite specific proof of a felony that each of these men committed or shut up.
