The left has always prided itself on "acceptance", but that changes quicker than a blink when someone does/says something they do not accept.

In this very thread it was pointed out that the liberal protests (at times violently) free speech from conservative sources. This quickly became equal to a Presidential debate or Politicians disagreeing over policy in an attempt to mask the intolerant protests.

"The left" masks "their intolerance". First off, I do take issue with that generalization. That you are correct in many instances, for many "leftists" is you will, I can not argue. I know full well you are. That you extend it that way, however, is unfair.

Take the Breitbart internet mob. The marching white supremacists. The Arpaio worshippers. All certain groups of opinionated people that are deeply intolerant against any other view, all groups supporting Donald Trump, so for better or worse voting Republican, all undeniably part of the right spectrum. Now would I ever hold these groups, or Hannity/Limbaugh, or anything like that against you or your opinion or everyone on the right? Of course not. I But I feel by bringing up "leftist intolerance" in every other instance, you don't grant people from the proverbial other side the same courtesy. 

Also, you did not answer my question :) But that's ok.

And the counter-reaction to the "violent liberal protests"-point was, I guess, meant as a reminder that it's not quite the time to climb the higher horse just for being on the rightist side. It indeed does look a bit bizarre to do so in these times.
