Intolerant of Intolerance

“A group devoted to social tolerance has been accused of being intolerant.“
While trying to eject 71-year-old Barbara Marques from the monthly gathering Monday, the Rev. Garnet McClure grabbed and shook the chair in which Marques was sitting, attendee Sharon Giottonini said.
McClure, a female pastor at Fremont Congregational Church, reacted after Marques said the 2002 slaying of transgender teen Gwen Araujo might not be a hate crime, several witnesses said.
A scuffle ensued and McClure continued to pull on Marques’ chair, said Giottonini, a member of the alliance and the East Bay Coalition for Border Security, a Fremont anti-illegal-immigration group.
As I, your humble editor, have pointed out before, so-called “tolerance” is only awarded to those whose “open mindedness” results in the same opinion.
