In actuality, many modern liberals are anything but tolerant of others - especially if they have opposing views or happen to be a white male (straight or gay). They also resort to personal attacks, slander, death threats, and even violence. Of course, the very "liberals" who this represents this will claim it's a "conservative conspiracy theory" as well as modern liberals who do not wish to criticize the radicals in their party.
