being tolerant and being a masochist are two different things

If you're really committed to the idea of tollerance, yes, you'll tollerate even those who aren't that tollerant towards you - even if they are bloodthirsty fanatics who want to decapitate you, or, worse yet, republicans. Obviously, few achive such a selfless committment to thier ideals...
Seriously, though, part of it may be that the liberal movement within the US is accustomed to viewing American conservatives and institutions (republicans, corporations, the military, etc) as thier primary enemy - the real threat. Thus, if the military is occupying Iraq, say, and oil companies profiteering from it - they must be the real threat, and thier foes must be potential allies (and alegations that your potential allies might have flown planes into buildings, decapitated people, opressed women or attempted genocide must be propaganda).
Sometimes, though, 'the enemy of your enemy' is also your enemy. Easy to miss when they're (mostly) half a world away, and you're relatively safe.

I can tolerate Conservatives name calling but I cannot tolerate their selfishness out on the road. Also I am the guy that pulls in front of you conservatives that stop 3 car lengths back from the car in front of you this is a growing trend and I don`t know where it is coming from.

You're asking two different questions.
I don't tolerate those who would kill me. But no one we're trying to kill in Iraq has ever tried to kill me - or anyone else who wasn't invading their country.
As for groups that contribute to the subjugation of women... well, it isn't my job to single-handedly save the world.
As for multi-culturalism... I don't think everyone has to assimilate to American culture. I think it would make for a pretty boring world if we took all the color out of it. That has nothing to do with killing, it has to do with me not thinking that we have the right to eradicate all beliefs but one standard set created by Americans.

Liberals are such a funny bunch.
When the blacks rioted in Watts, a bunch of foo-foo, stridently anti-gun Hollywood liberals got scared, made a bee-line for Charton Heston's house, and sheepishly asked him if he had a gun to spare. (He did).
Liberals have not had to face your scenario too much because Conservatives have been protecting them, despite their lack of gratitude, and even outright hostility. Liberals get to live in this fantasy world, because they know, on some level, that responsible Conservatives will always be there to bail them out, much like a beleagured parent.
However, look at the photos below. It shows Muslims demonstrating in England, where they have also gone too "PC" for their own good. If Muslims try that cr@p here, we should encircle all the protesters with police, arrest every one, deport those who aren't citizens, and imprison those who are (for obvious and numerous violations of the law).

Do you notice they are against our military fighting and killing our enemies, they are against a judge and jury sending a murdered to his death for his/her crimes, but they have no problem sending an army of doctors to kill a million babies a year in this country. The two they are against protect our country and the citizens within the country. The babies being killed allow them to have an immoral lifestyle.

There's this guy... Jesus Christ. He was supposedly very tolerant... perhaps you've heard of him?
Oh, yeah, and he was a liberal.
Turn the other cheek, brother?
Edit: Ooh... a thumbs down for Christ. New low for the righties.

Tolerance means you don't pick and choose who you're tolerant of. That defeats the purpose of being tolerant.

We have to tolerate Republicans and conservatives because they are our fellow countrymen. We realize that they are misguided and often vicious but because we are liberals we are tolerant.

Because liberalism is a mental disorder. Why else would they love the "religion of peace" where gays are stoned to death and women are gang raped and beaten for going outside without supervision. Meanwhile you guys think conservatives are evil because they are not in support of gay marriage. Lets think about this people.

If I understand your question, you are asking why Liberals seem to care so much about the rights of radical Islam.
Because they believe we created them.
Never mind that they cannot tell you how that is done. And never mind that Liberals will be the first in trouble, under Sharia law.
