Thanks to a wonderful website called ‘What Liberals Say’, I’ve compiled some very IN-tolerant quotes from the very Leftist people who demand ‘tolerance’ from the Right.

In the first two parts of ‘Tolerance is a 1-Way Street’ I showcased celebrities, authors, journalists and others from A through H who, in their own words, prove how maybe they’re not quite as ‘tolerant’ as they want people to believe.

This final part alphabetically wraps up the remainder Liberals and their amazing thoughts.

James Carville’s intolerance (and denial?) of the 2^nd Amendment:  “I don’t think there is a Second Amendment right to own a gun.”

Jane Fonda’s intolerance for everything America stands for:  “We’ve got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition.”

Jane Fonda’s tolerance for Communism:  “I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists.”

Janeane Garofalo’s intolerance for Patriotism:  “[T]he dumb and the mean love patriotism.”

Janeane Garofalo’s intolerance toward the Tea Party:  “This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism, straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks. And there is no way around that. This is about racism. It could be any issue, any port in a storm. These guys hate that a black guy is in the White House.”

Janet Reno’s intolerance toward gun owners:  “The most effective means of fighting crime in the United States is to outlaw the possession of any type of firearm by the civilian populace.”

Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s preacher and mentor, discussing his intolerance toward the evil WHITE:  “No, what I have been preaching is not racist, we would call it Christianity. We have been saying that since there was a white Christianity; we have been saying that ever since white Christians took part in the slave trade; we have been saying that ever since they had churches in slave castles. We don’t have to say the word ‘white.’ We just have to live in white America, the United States of white America.”

Jeremiah Wright’s intolerance toward America:  “The U.S. government gives black Americans the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no. God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”

Jesse Jackson’s tolerance for dictators and murderers:  “Viva Fidel! Viva Che Guevara! Castro is the most honest and courageous politician I have ever met.”

Jesse Jackson’s intolerance toward (white) Conservatives:  “If what was happening here [in the U.S.] was happening in South Africa, it’d be called racist apartheid. If it was happening in Germany, we’d call it Nazism. And in Italy, we’d call it fascism. Here we call it conservatism.”

Julia Roberts intolerance toward her Republican fans:  “Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.”

Katie Couric, trying to shroud her obvious intolerance toward religion:  “You can understand how people would hear some of these things [the idea of a community based on Catholic values] and be like, wow, this is really infringing on civil liberties and freedom of speech and right to privacy and all sorts of basic tenets that this country was founded on. Right?”

Katie Couric again trying to hide her intolerant personal feelings about Christmas:  “Do you worry at all that non-believers may feel excluded and diminished at a time when we’re so divided about so much?”

Keith Olbermann’s intolerance toward Fox News:  “Fox News is worse than al Quaeda — worse for our society. It’s as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan ever was.”

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and liberal role model on her intolerance toward human life:  “The immorality of large families lies not only in their injury to the members of those families but in their injury to society . . . . The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

Martin Sheen’s intolerance of America and Americans:  “Every time I cross this border [to go out of the United States] I feel like I’ve left the land of lunatics.”

Meredith Viera’s intolerance for high gas prices during the Bush years, yet strangely tolerant—and silent—now, in the Obama years:  “I’m a little peeved when I hear the President say there’s not much we can do about this [gas prices], folks…Where is his responsibility in all this? Five and a half years, and we’re dealing with these gas prices? It’s ridiculous.”

Michael Moore’s intolerance toward US troops and tolerance for terrorists:  “They [the terrorists who are killing American troops in Iraq] are not the enemy. [T]heir numbers will grow — and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?”

Nina Totenberg, NPR ‘sweetheart’ and her intolerance toward Jesse Helm (and his family):  “[I]f there is retributive justice, [Senator Jesse Helms will] get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.”

Rickie Lee Jones’ intolerance toward the patriotism she witnessed after 9/11:  “My skin crawls when I think of the first week after September 11. I was looking out of the window and there were people marching down the street carrying flags. It reminded me of spontaneous, angry Nazis and I thought, ‘Oh, man, we are in a lot of trouble.’”

DEMOCRAT Senator Robert Byrd—whose death was recently lauded by Bill Clinton, Obama and others—regarding his tolerance toward the KKK:  “The [Ku Klux] Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia. . . . It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state in the Union.”

DEMOCRAT Senator Robert Byrd’s intolerance toward black people:  “[I would] never submit to fight beneath that banner with a Negro by my side. Rather, I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongers, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

Rosie O’Donnell’s tolerance toward radical Islam and intolerance toward radical Christianity:  “Wait just one second. Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam [loud applause] in a country like America where we have separation of church and state. We’re a democracy.”

Ted Turner, head of CNN and TNN and his intolerance for Christianity:  “Christianity is a religion for losers.”

Tom Brokaw’s intolerance of flag lapel pins:  “I don’t think it’s appropriate for a journalist to wear a flag. It suggests that you approve of whatever the government is doing at that time.”

Whoopi Goldberg’s tolerance toward communism:  “I don’t really view communism as a bad thing.”
