So the left isnt as tolerant as they claim to be, Typical of them, the left is much more hateful and destructive, they should be ashamed of themselves for this and hopefully the media covers this

Who, exactly, isn't being tolerant?

Lets be honest basically no one is going to be tolerant of beliefs they don't like.

The difference is that only one side claims to believe in tolerance.

Actually, the only people I'd consider intolerant are those who use violence to express their opposition to the beliefs of others.

Fear of violence breaking out is different than actual violence occurring.

The SPLC and the vast majority of "the left" is anything but violent.

I remember seeing the footage on tv and they were threatening her and blocking the doors

So the evidence in your link doesn't support the theme of your example, so you backtrack to your recollection of the event on TV.

Not only that, but the left never argues to be tolerant of all things, just more things.

It is just yet another ridiculous straw man argument.

Yep, just be tolerant of what you approve of right?

No but when looking at right vs left tolerance. While there are no absolutes. The right is more likely to be intolerant of a state of being, homosexual, muslim, poor. The left is more intolerant of actions, preventing equal rights of homosexuals, forcing non science into science education, marginalizing rape. The left despite what the right wants to claim doesn't hate religion. In fact the left is itself still overwhelmingly religious. The difference is that the left doesn't want this country dictated by religion.

http://news.yahoo.com/shooter-used-southern-poverty-law-centers-website-identify-182100233.html



It's pretty obvious from the evidence, the confession and the guilty plea that this nutcase used the Southern Poverty Law Center hate site to target a group he disagreed with. While the SPLC purports to fight hate, it seems it's getting splashed with some of it's own paint. They're not guilty of setting this nutjob out, but they should probably be less strident in pointing out targets to violent terrorists.
BTW it was an armed guard at the building that stopped this from being a bloodbath.

*EDIT* It turns out the guard was an unarmed guard that even though he was shot he wrestled the shooter to the ground.

you mean the "stick in their ass group" trying to use 12 people to dictate what people should watch on TV.

Why do they threaten our freedoms??

No its not, in fact your link shows zsdersw is correct.

The doors were not being blocked, the hall was over packed with more outside trying to get in.

No threats were made against her, in fact many were chanting "We want Ann"

If you say so, it must be the mass of people that had been blocking the doors earlier and the police call to stop the assembly due to promised violence and their inability to protect the speaker also mentioned in the story never happened.

I wonder if the media will cover this? Probably going to downplay and ignore it. The splc just showed how pathetic they are.

Imagine if a Conservative/Libertarian did this then those morons would be outraged

Except he didn't.

Corkins kept and bore a gun as per his Second Amendment rights. The guard, who obviously has something against guns, assaulted him for exercising these rights. Corkins is allowed to Stand His Ground and defend himself. Unfortunately, he wasn't heavily armed enough and his attacker won.

The guard should be arrested and charged with criminal violation of Corkins' civil rights. And Corkins needs to be better trained in how to use his guns to prevent such an occurrence again. It's a sad day when the criminals win.
