(37,748 posts)I'm compelled to believe that we judge a person's character on and of their own behavior; else, by your absolutism, I'd be forced to think that my mother is a "corrupt and vile subhuman" which or course, I do not believe, as I see her as compassionate, loving, caring, generous and supportive.
As idiotic, as fallacious and as vulgar as yours is when Limabugh says it re: liberals, I find the mirror image to be as disturbing also. That being said, I do of course, understand the mental convenience generalities allow us-- visceral satisfaction, a more pronounced Us v. Them division, no need to concern ourselves with context or nuance... or even the individual. Quite easy and simplistic thinking indeed.
"I think that we should not tolerate the intolerant. .." I certainly hope you hold those who do not tolerate your own opinions to that same standard, and give them a pass for labeling you as ineffectual and insignificant.
