DU is not a pillar of tolerance. [View All]

The Warren episode is the latest example that DU is not the pillar of tolerance. There are many here that believe they are all-tolerant, kind, and open-minded, but they're not. The Warren episode is the latest clearest example.

It was announced that Warren would do the invocation at the inauguration which set off mass-hysteria. And like any Democratic organization, there are competing interests. There are those that hate Warren for his homophobia. There are others that hate him for his Christianity. Many of those screaming about "homophobes" are anti-religious bigots. Hypocritical? Yes. Surprising? Yes. One would think that at a Democratic community there would be tolerance and understanding of many view points. One would expect that with understanding there would be somewhat calm and sane discussion over the issues. But when it comes to gods, gays, guns, and abortions the veneer of tolerance is stripped away to show the very ugly inside. Many are no better than the freepers they claim to despise.

So lets have at it. Watch the person calling you a homophobe call you a fool for believing in God. And watch the believer who missed the point of their religion treat people different from them unkindly. Just don't expect the combatants to understand that they are part of the problem.
