Rather than universalizing the example, could you narrow it down to this thread? Which posters do you mean?
I like how the left preaches tolerance and acceptance but then is completely intolerant and hateful of anyone who doesn't agree with the views of the left.
Couldn't find a bigger pack of hypocrites if you tried.

@ bigots crying about people's intolerance towards their intolerance!
I'm curious as to who, exactly, has been intolerant of her comments in this thread. I disagree with them, quite vehemently, but recognize her freedom to express her opinion.
In fact, thinking back on my own comments here, all I've said about Miss California at all is that she's dumb and that her comments weren't particularly courageous. The rest of the comments here from "the left" have been quite clear in expressing that she's en led to her own opinions.
their intolerance isn't being attacked, they are.
She didn't want to pander to the local status quo which is pretty much pageant 101 so she deserved and knew that she would lose."I was ready for my question, and when I heard it from (Perez), I knew at that moment after I'd answered the question, I knew that I was not going to win because of my answer,""
lol "opposite marriage"
I wonder if Carrie is the AntiChrist... Says the right things to appease the religious people and gain their confidence. That's how it all starts.
Why is the government saying who can marry whom?
Maybe they should say who can date who, who can kiss who, and so forth.
The ONLY thing the government should do is track relationships for legal purposes when it comes to health care, insurance, child custody etc. They should have NO say in why these relationships occur unless they are illegal as a product of another law, aka, 30 year olds can't marry 8 year olds as it implies sexual relations between an adult and minor.
You seem like a reasonable person, sabar.
Will you please start posting in here more?
I hope Perez Hilton chokes on a sandwich.
I know want to why a beauty pageant became a political debate. You know the MISS USA pageant is desperate when they have a gay internet blogger as one of the judges. Why is an internet blogger judging a beauty pageant? I do think that Perez Hilton is a hypocrite and somewhat of a bigot. He's a bigot toward people that are against gay marriage. He just can't let people be en led to their opinions. They can only be en led to their opinions if they are the same as his.
That describes many posters in this forum and a few talk show hosts I know.
So you're en led to your own intolerance, but you can't abide his. Yeah.
Everybody got to have their say. No one was prevented from having it. Ms. Prejean expressed her opinion, and Mr. Hilton reacted badly to it. C'est la guerre.
Perez Hilton isn't my boss -- is he yours, Jacob? If he isn't, why get all hung up on his opinion? Perez Hilton is neither powerful nor particularly influential in public affairs. Why pretend that he is?
The notion that Spurstalk posters take marching orders from Perez Hilton is a little bit laughable, and finds very little support in the actual thread IMO.
Hold the phone, I never said I was against gay marriage. If you're gay and want to get married, I'm not gonna stop you. However, don't expect me to throw a parade because you're gay and can get married. Personally, I think each state should be allowed to determine who can get married.
Perez Hilton is not powerful but he was powerful on Sunday night.
It's true -- he made Prejan a much bigger name than if she had only won the Miss USA pageant.
She owes Perez the rest of her career.
I hope Perez Hilton chokes on a sandwich.
Yeah, screw personal freedoms! We need more government control!
I'm sure this question has come up before, but what gives the right to Christians to claim marriage like they are the ones that made it up or something? Marriage pre-dates your religion, or even history for that matter. So what gives you the right to decide how marriage is defined?
your point is stupid
I thought it was an inappropriate question. I hope that is not the reason why she lost.
On a side note, I'd do her.
KRAMER: Let's try a few more questions, alright? If you were Miss America, and the U.S. was on the brink of a nuclear war, and the only way the conflict could be averted was if you agreed to sleep with the enemy's leader, what would you do?
KAREN: Kramer, are these questions really that important...?
KRAMER: Yes, they're important! If you stumble, if you hesitate, you can kiss the crown goodbye. Now if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times - poise counts! It's just as important as the others. Swimsuit! Evening wear! Talent! POISE!
oh that's rich!
People outraged by the anti-gay marriage "movement" aren't the ones trying to impose their own bull moral standards on other people. Who the are you to say they can't get married, and THEN be pissed that they are outraged that you think you should have any ing say on their lives.
You can't be a bigot for being intolerant of intolerance! That's like saying someone is a bigot because they can stand anti-semitism...
some people just don't have a clue
You're hating someone for their belief system. How is that not bigotry. There's a reason MLK and Ghandi worked when most others failed, because they didn't practice the hate that you do.
