The "being intolerant against intolerance is intolerant" is becoming an argument of semantics. It is clouding the issue. It might help to think of it this way: How much intolerance is there in general and how can we minimize it?
This situation can be improved by reducing the overall level of intolerance...not by pitting one intolerance against another.
Besides, and I'll enter into this ridiculousness for a second, if we are tolerant of intolerance then the intolerance remains. How does condoning intolerance make us tolerant!!!????
So please stop saying it.
