"It's impossible to be tolerant because in order to be tolerant, you must be intolerant of intolerance, but then you aren't being tolerant therefore we shouldn't even try to be tolerant!"
That's your viewpoint, yes?
It's parallel to the 1st Amendment issue. It's easy to follow the 1st Amendment when speech is nice, it's more difficult when the speech is vile. (not saying this is a 1st Amendment issue, because he had a right to say it, and they had a right to fire him for it.)
