First of all, I consider myself an independent. I've voted for both liberals and conservatives, it depends on the candidate, not the party. I know both liberals and conservatives in my family, at work and among friends. With that dynamic, I've noticed that liberals are far more intolerant of opinions counter to their own.
If I bring something up that a conservative disagrees with, they pretty much accept it, offer their reasons for disagreeing and move on. If I do the same with a liberal OH MY GOD! You would think I were insulting their mother. They immediately see it as their job to "correct" me or show me the error of my ways. There is no room for discussion or even friendly debate. It gets so that I never bring up or participate in any discussion about politics with liberals in my life because either I am agreeing with things I don't agree with just to keep the peace or I am arguing with them because they can't stand to hear someone express an opinion that they disagree with.
The same reason why anybody won't listen to reason.

I think the Liberals are very tolerant of the RWNJs. It's us Centrists that are not. Primarily because we know how well the Country would be doing if the Right Wingers weren't the driving force of the GOP.

Insults and character assassinations!
There intolerance is from not being taught self control from their parents.
Mainly because there was no daddy figure in the house and they disrespected their mothers in the same manner.
