The idea that bigoted ideas are worthy of tolerance is dangerous idiocy

Horrible Concept. While I obviously don't support the state cracking down on Klansmen and other ne'er dowells, I certainly support them having their bones broken by private citizens.

Overrated, though still better than the main alternatives.

Not to split some skull over each difference of opinion is an obvious freedom concept. It has its limits, of course.

Depends on what it's tolerance of: different races, religions, sexualities, absolutely. People are under no obligation to tolerate hateful ideologies, however.

There should be no tolerance for those advocating violence or intimidation, either openly or behind closed doors, to achieve their goals; or, of course, if their goals are violence and/or intimidation. If you can have an honest debate with your peers and peacefully accept the outcome when you lose, then I should think there wouldn't be a problem. Both the left and the right seem to have a serious problem with the intimidation part lately. They need to get their heads screwed on correctly.

Depends on what you mean by "tolerance". If we're talking about the right to respectfully disagree, then it's obviously a freedom concept; saying that people are obligated to tolerate openly aggressive discrimination, however, is just plain dumb.

If you mean tolerance of those who are different, then obviously FC, though sometimes tolerance isn't enough. I don't think we should be tolerant of discrimination, though.
