Mitch McConnell begged his party to support his awful healthcare bill so that they, the Republicans, would not have to work with the Democrats to get the bill through.
I recall no mass outrage from anyone.
It appears no one believes in diversity of ideas. At least not in practice.
Condoleeza Rice is an EXCELLENT example, BECAUSE she is broadly respected. Thanks for making my point for me! The very fact that someone so universally respected would be shut down and forced out is exactly the point in my OP. Diversity is a liberal buzzword and almost a mantra... except when it comes to diversity of IDEAS.
No, she's a horrible example, as you just admitted. She's broadly accepted by the Left and Right. She completely contradicts your claims. She's popular, and well liked.
Or are you saying 100% of people must like all Conservatives, and if not, that is an example of Liberal intolerance? You won't get 100% of people to agree on anything. Even puppies and ice cream aren't 100% liked.

I have no idea who this person is or what it has to do with anything. She is or isn't 100% liked by the Left? What does the fact that this "domestic terrorist" has a job have to do with anything?
I haven't found one side to be more emotional than the other. I do hear that complain from my staunchly conservative friends. Why are the liberals so intolerant. Well -- you don't like their views and won't listen but you call them intolerant when they don't like your views and won't listen....lol.
I find the irrationals on either side equally intolerable.
I'm an independent and have a different experience than you folks.
Why you think a gay Jewish guy can't be a Nazi is beyond me. The Nazis had lots of Jewish support initially, there were Jewish Nazi officers, and there were plenty of gay Nazis.
Ernst Rohm, founding father of Nazism, was gay, BTW. And he was very public about it.
I'm not sure Milo buys into anything he spouts. He makes money from his persona -- just like Alex Jones.

Wrong. She's an excellent example. She's popular, well liked but liberals wouldn't have her speak simply because they associated her with GWB and her politics.
"100% of people must like all Conservatives, and if not, that is an example of Liberal intolerance?" Many you really love straw man arguments, don't you?.

Google the Weather Underground. She was a member of a far left radical movement that wanted to overthrow the United States and she was personally convicted of murder.
So the left will reject someone who is universally liked and regarded simply because of their political views and associations but they will elevate a domestic terrorist and convicted murderer who shares their political views. Both examples further my main point.
Liberals support racial diversity only because that's a political necessity or scheme and their base.
They couldn't convince fair and square the white voting populace to support their socialist/communist and totalitarian agendas, so they seek to change the populace with diversity.

There are 1,000 other posts about Virginia. I am making a broader point.

You and your conservative compatriots won't accept diversity of people, of lifestyles, of things that actually effect people's day to day existence and you are whining that someone is intolerant because they told you they don't like your "ideas".
That isn't what tolerance means. Tolerance is the act of tolerating not liking. You have not been prevented from being a citizen, marrying who you love, assemble as a group, or really much else because of your ideas. That means your ideas are TOLERATED. Your government is denying you nothing, meanwhile you and your alt right friends want to actually deny the rights of people because of your intolerance.
You seem to think tolerate means to like. It doesn't. Stop whining because people dislike your ideas.

Roflamo.
Many, if not most, liberals live in multiracial families or communities. But you think they only support diversity for politics.

I'm not a conservative. Fun Fact: Not all those who disagree with liberals are automatically conservatives.
I do not support immoral, hatefilled or factually incorrect ideas.
But this is America so I won't champion for your arrest either but I want nothing to do with you. You're not welcome in my home, friendship circle or anywhere else. Especially if your ideas are as vile and repugnant as the Alt-Right demonstrated in Charlottesville.
