Tolerance

I'm reading a timely book, American Fascists by Chris Hedges. The author has included a great Forward by Umberto Eco that explains why you can't be tolerant of those who practice intolerance. They must be stopped. And sure enough, when I read some of the criticisms of the book, the author was labeled 'intolerant' because he pointed out the evil that spews from the Christian Right.

The link to Umberto Eco's piece on Fascism, originally from the Utne Reader.
