[Platt]
Yes. Also I would prevent any KKK member from serving in congress. Would you?

[Arlo]
I wouldn't "prevent" it, in the case of passing laws. But I would campaign
(well, support the campaign) of anyone who ran in opposition.

[Platt]
I know you claim tolerance. That's why I think you are a hypocrite because you
are intolerant of people who don't meet your intellectual standards...

[Arlo]
Believing people to be "wrong" is not hypocritical. Tolerance is giving people
the right to speak. It does not mean I have to agree, nor does it mean I can't
criticize them on intellectual grounds, as I do with Coulter and the KKK.

"Hypocritical" is giving "free speech" to one group but another. As I said, I
give free speech to everyone.

[Platt]
just as Dawkins and other science types are intolerant of those who have
religious beliefs.

[Arlo]
Tolerant is giving everyone an equal voice. It does not imply that what those
voices say are all equal in Quality. Do you disagree with this?
