Tolerance double standards
There is not a conservative reading this who hasn’t gotten into an argument with a liberal at one time or another and eventually been accused of ‘intolerance’ simply for disagreeing with them on their opinions regarding various social and/or religious issues like affirmative action, teaching Islam in public schools, and gay marriage.

It should be noted that one soldier has already come forth as being a witness to this crime. It should also be noted that yours truly, as would any decent American, strongly condemns the actions of the troops in question (assuming what the witness is saying is true, and unlike Haditha, this looks like a sure case of guilt).
