I can understand when someone says that Republicans and Democrats are two sides to the same (capitalist) coin, despite their differences on taxes, and social/moral issues, however claiming that people whom consider themselves progressive or liberal as a group are as intolerant as religious conservatives is simply not accurate.
With that said, there are extremists/kooks on the right, left, and everywhere in between (these are usually the people that are pointed at when people from the opposite end of the ideological spectrum want to make a point).

I am only human. Of course, if everyone agreed with me, there would be no intolerance.
But, if there was no intolerance, there would be nothing for me to be intolerant against.
So, I will continue to be intolerant towards intolerance, despite the apparent contradiction. Because I think we can do better.
