I know Christians may have a different take, but to me, it means that those who are intolerant can be judged as such, without me being intolerant myself.
You can't really tell people what they can and cannot believe, they have their beliefs and they are not going to just randomly change their beliefs because someone said they should.
and yet that is what the politically correct crowd is trying to do. force everyone to change their beliefs, and they do it through intolerance all the while claiming to be the tolerant ones.
The question didn't have anything to do with good and bad.
It was very clearly implied. If you base it on definitions alone, tolerance of intolerance is still tolerance. In order for that to be a tricky question, you need to attach a moral definition to the words.

No, you do not. You cannot decide what is moral for others.
I'm not. But I can prove what the word tolerant means. This means there is actually nothing to discuss here. Being tolerant of intolerance is tolerant. By definition. The only way you can turn that into a discussion is if you add additional meaning, like assuming tolerant is good. Then there can be a paradox. But if we answer this question with ONLY the definitions of the words, there is a very straightforward answer.

Mmmm...as a Christian, I don't have a different take. Judgement and tolerance/intolerance, however, are two different critters. I have a laundry list of things I will either tolerate or not. Judging people for these things is not in my purview, though. Not by laws of man or God.
But, I'm also human, and thus, I feel anger, resentment, hatred and their positive counterparts. So, I've been guilty as Hell of making "judgements". Oh yea, Lots of them. Is "tolerance/intolerance a paradox? Yea, I suppose it is. Its a "sin" , that nobody can help committing. We all do it. Even if just in our minds. Complete "tolerance" is a lie. Anyone claiming to be so, a liar.
From a Christian POV, mine anyway, that's the basis of the New Testament . Jesus sacrificed Himself, to satisfy for Mans sins, that can't help but be committed. Being, personally, unrepentant, about those sins, and refusing to recognize them, as such, is what will get your knuckles rapped, come Judgement Day. Jesus says... decide.
Is tolerance of intolerance considered tolerance or intolerance?
Discuss.
No one has tolerance. Left preaches intolerance but does not practice it.
