> Intolerance cannot be allowed to be free speech.

That's just "I'm for free speech unless I disagree with the speech", right?

Who decides what's too intolerant?

We all love our Popper quotes but it's a very hard line to draw. Nearly any opinion can be explained at being somehow intolerant if you try hard enough.

Pretty much either you agree that Nazis are bad and those that are like them, regardless of the time period are also bad, or you're an idiot. Hate, violence, threats based there upon, are pretty cut and dry.

The whole do on to others as you would have them do on to you is not a new concept. And act like a terrorist and do terrorist acts, makes you a terrorist. And we don't support them. In the end if you want to hate people because it makes you feel better, sure go ahead, just keep your mouth shut and don't act.
