Calls For "Tolerance" Growing Ever More Nuanced, Stupid

Stupid

How vapid has the multiculturalist discourse of "tolerance" gotten? This vapid:

The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell is asking for a little tolerance, after a New Jersey supermarket refused to decorate a birthday cake with the child's full name on it. Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the nearby ShopRite, but also with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article about the cake. Heath Campbell, who is 35, said in an interview Tuesday that people should look forward, not back, and accept change.

I like the Hope and Change reference. The unblinking banality is apt.

Other searches for "tolerance" this morning bring up this delightful gem on interfaith dialogue, calling for talks that will "safeguard the image of Islamic scholars." It's the logical extension of that UN interfaith conference which gave us the ongoing Jewish cooties scandal.
