A lot of activist groups simply wave that idea off, rather than accepting or admitting the double standards.

That was in response to the notion, which this thread appears based on, that someone who calls someone else a bigot must himself be a bigot, which to my mind is a silly semantic game, as is intolerance of intolerance is also intolerance. There's a real world out there, with real bigots, and really intolerant people, and I think it's good they are called out. That's not to say that people aren't entitled to opinions or beliefs. It does mean that if your opinion means you act like an idiot, I will call you an idiot. If that's intolerant, then so be it.
