The liberal left has for years been claiming to be tolerant of opinions, faiths, beliefs and whatnot. This evening I will present to you a few cases that contradict their contentions.
Case 1: Sweet Cakes by Melissa
An Oregon bakery decided to refuse service to a homosexual couple because of their religious beliefs. Not only were they attacked viciously by militant gay rights advocates and members of the left, they were forced to downsize and operate out of their home. Nevermind Public Accommodation Laws, liberals, you claim to be tolerant of religious belief, but sat by and allowed the government to rule in favor of forcing these people to serve people against their faith. It's rather cut and dry.

How can you explain your tolerance of beliefs or of religion when you make threats against those you disagree with in order to destroy them?
Case 2: Julie Boonstra
Julie Boonstra was diagnosed with Leukemia. She decided to speak out against Obamacare after her insurance was cancelled due to the new healthcare law. Afterwards, anonymous liberals began sending her letters like these:
So, how is this tolerant? The woman is dying of Leukemia, something she couldn't help. But the tolerance of the Liberal Left is nowhere to be found. In fact they were most reticent about the whole ordeal. But they don't mind trying to stifle dissenting opinions.
Case 3: Mia Love
In 2012, she gave a speech at the GOP convention. The kicker here is that she is a black conservative woman. Black. After her speech, her Wikipedia page was defaced by leftist liberals, with phrases such as this:
The left purports to support women and African Americans, yet as we saw here, such a belief is only selectively applied. She was called a "house ******" and an "Aunt Tom" by some disgruntled liberals. Nay tolerance. Alas, only Conservative Republicans are capable of such racist, misogynistic displays.
Case 4: Former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich
Just 11 days after being appointed as CEO of the non profit internet giant Mozilla, he was forced to resign over his stance on gay marriage. According to campaign finance records, he donated $1000 in support of California's Proposition 8. His resignation was graciously accepted by gay rights activists, and railed against by others, such as prominent gay blogger Andrew Sullivan.
Mozilla CEO resignation raises free-speech issues
Liberals in their infinite tolerance for free speech and opinion, like OKCupid's Sam Yagun, called for a boycott of the internet browser and of Mozilla Products after learning of Eich's stances. Yagun claims that it was never an attempt to force Eich to resign, however. Still, regardless of that fact, his resignation stirs up a lot of free speech issues. It also demonstrates the lefts intolerance of free expression and an inherent desire to destroy, not debate, their opponents.
Case 5: Sarah Palin
The list is long with this one. Once a Vice Presidential hopeful tabbed by John McCain in his 2008 presidential campaign, she like no other has managed to rile the left up and raise their hackles in a manner not seen before. No sooner did the announcement come, than did liberals begin looking for ways to destroy her:

More cases of liberals showing their intolerance toward her include comments by liberal comedians concerning her daughter and her son Trig. Also, she was blamed by liberals for inciting the now infamous shooting in Tuscon, Arizona via gunman Jared Lee Loughner, who shot and severely injured Gabrielle Giffords while killing six other people. However just recently, journalist Martin Bashir was forced to resign after insisting that someone should defecate in Palin's mouth:
Conclusion:
Liberals, or the party at least, are not tolerant of differing opinions, not of faiths, women, or minorities. This prompts me to ask, why is it, with these examples of intolerance, do you still claim to be tolerant? Why do you champion diversity, but do nothing to encourage it, and everything to stifle it? If you really were tolerant, why would you treat people who disagree with you with such contempt? Where is this tolerance and diversity you speak of? What I've seen so far over the years, is a scorched earth campaign, not a campaign for tolerance or diversity.
This OP is not designed to be an end all be all of liberal intolerance, for that, all you need is Google, and an open mind.

Andrew Sullivan, a prominent gay blogger, railed against the pressure that led to the resignation.
"You want to squander the real gains we have made by argument and engagement by becoming just as intolerant of others' views as the Christians?," he asked. "You've just found a great way to do this. It's a bad, self-inflicted blow. And all of us will come to regret it."
