I would say that those that are intolerant and hateful towards other hateful people still debase themselves to no purposeful end. When faced in situations of hate, it's better to understand the reasons why someone would act in that manner, and act accordingly.
From Lebell's post, I think that a fine line exists between the certain moral concepts that individuals share and certain societal rules / laws that protect people from other people. Child rapists are not tolerated primarily because their actions drastically affect volunerable youth, not because they hold a different set of values. In that sense, compassion is first directed to the child and due to that there cannot be much left for the rapist. For that reason amorality should not be applied so generally, because every individual has different moral views.
