"But my question is, what will happen if we tolerate people who share this stupid comic around? I think there can be only one answer: an increasingly intolerable tolerance for intolerance in the form of censorship of the intolerant, and those of us who favour tolerance for them.
Clearly, to those of us who believe that freedom of speech is a cornerstone of tolerance, tolerating those intolerant of intolerance poses an obvious risk. Tolerating these intolerants could be dangerous indeed.
So, for the sake of actually saving tolerance, those of us who would extend tolerance to the intolerant must ourselves be willing to be intolerant of those who are intolerant of our tolerance for the intolerance of the intolerant."
