anticipate the conclusion: no. Tolerance is the acceptance of that which is not shared, are ideas, beliefs, attitudes or behaviors. It is recognizing the right of existence of other, different from the same; admit the plurality, in short. This plurality is highly desirable, since the uniformity can not only lead to stagnation, due to the impossibility of that contrast between different positions is all that allows you to put each test to eliminate incorrect or at least refine existing roads closer approximation to what is right. Therefore, we tolerance for absolutely and without the slightest reservation. But, not despite but precisely for that reason that we have to recognize a limit to tolerance, and this by dint of not incurring a contradiction. There is something that should not be tolerated (ie, something that should not be accepted from what we do not share), and is simply bigotry. Tolerating intolerance would be contradictory in the case of those who advocated tolerance, because that would admit, in the name of tolerance, the opposite of the void. This would lead to the statement, "while I am in favor of tolerance, accept intolerance." Nobody who advocates recognize tolerance of intolerance can tolerate without the effect of canceling its own positioning. Consequently, we should not tolerate any idea, belief, attitude or behavior that is not prepared to accept what is not shared.
However, it is usual resource of bigots demagogic appeal precisely that they do not practice. They demand tolerance for their own position and, not finding blame instead of betraying what he preaches. In so doing, seek refuge behind nothing less than what they reject, in addition to transferring the burden of guilt (of his own guilt) to the contrary, in what is but a spectacular display of victimization. This is a blatant ploy but no less effective, as we have seen in more than one occasion, there are always those who actually falls into letting her convince.
absolute and radically intolerant of intolerance, and without the slightest remorse. Let us be consistent with our defense of tolerance attacking with every possible weapon to draw back without being intolerant of the fact that in doing so, we are accused of intolerance. Coming from them, this accusation is a compliment.
