No, looks to me like you are doing that.

Liberals hate other opinions, period, whether they are lying or hate speech or not.

It is quite convenient to call opinions you don't agree with, hate speech.

Hell there was a feminist professor in the US who had her class lodge a grievance against her for something trivial, like asking whether people were too sensitive these days.

Was this hate speech?

Here is another example. Was that lady - a progressive feminist no less - guilty of hate speech?

I can dig up more examples, if you want. There are PLENTY. It is interesting that your first instinct would be label all such examples as hate speech.

Did the professor in the first example commit hate speech when he sent that letter out? Which group was he inciting violence towards by urging them to be more tolerant of each other?

People who live in the realm of facts do tend to dislike those who mouth off and believe whatever comes out is just as valid.

Person 1 - Gay people must be killed

Person 2 - People who say "gay people must be killed" should not be allowed to enter this country

Why is Person 1 acceptable but Person 2 not acceptable? What about that statement makes Person 2 "hateful and wrong"?
Both people's ideas are hateful and wrong. Both people are acceptable. You seem to be conflating these two things.

Tell that to speakers who have been uninvited from universities because of how controversial their ideas are. There was a Muslim woman who had a politically incorrect opinion of Islam - banned from speaking.

I can look for other examples, and there are many.

Look at the couple from... was it Yale or Harvard - that were forced to resign because he or she wrote an email urging their students to be tolerant even of costumes that were offensive.
Sources please.

Look at the Canadian university students who snatched a Trump supporters hat off his head.

Look at the violence that Clinton supporters have inflicted upon Trump supporters.

Look at Twitters recent purging of alt-right people.

If one thing is clear, liberals do not like other opinions, at all. If anything is even remotely offensive, you not only ban the expression of it, but you try to shame people who have that idea into thinking they are inferior human beings.

Voted for Trump? Racist, sexist misogynist. Possibly all three.

Female and voted for Trump? Definitely Stockholm syndrome.

Don't like Hilary Clinton? It's because you don't want a female president.
Has anyone ever claimed that all liberals are perfect? Liberals make mistakes just like other people, especially when emotions are involved. Some liberals acting badly does not mean all liberals are the same. Same thing goes for conservatives. And again, you need to provides sources for some of these claims.
