The Pathological Intolerance of the Left
American Thinker ^ | November 24, 2016 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 11/24/2016 5:30:00 AM PST by Kaslin

A New Mexico CEO, Mathew Blanchfield, appeared on Tucker Carlson's show Wednesday night to defend the letter he posted on his website, 1st in SEO in New Mexico, telling his clients who voted for or support Donald Trump to take their business elsewhere. In his letter, he calls Trump "racist, sexist, fascist." He asked his clients to respond and confirm "where you stand politically. If you are a Republican or support Trump, we will no longer serve you." He wrote that he had a moral obligation then, on the Carlson program, decried Trump's "lack of moral turpitude" for allegedly taking the mainstream press to task over its biased reporting throughout the campaign. Not only does he not know the meaning of the word "fascist," he does not know the meaning of the word "turpitude." He thinks he is really, really smart but he is not. And unfortunately for him, Carlson is smart.

Carlson attempted to point out his exclusivity, his intolerance, but Blanchfield wasn't having any of it. He is imprudently proud of himself and his own moral superiority. Never mind those people who lost their businesses because they would not bake a cake for, provide flowers for, or photograph gay weddings, even though they had served those clients respectfully for years. Mr. Blanchfield was most likely on board in condemning those people because he is so inclusive and compassionate.

Then there is the Penzey Spice Co. of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Anyone who cooks knows this brand. Mr. Penzey has also told any and all of his customers that his company no longer wants the business of Trump supporters. His Facebook post (read the whole thing) is as illiberal as Blanchfield's.

Intolerance is a two way street.

Those of us pulling the wagon and those still riding in the wagon should give this a very long thought.

American fascists believe in diversity, compassion, sensitivity but only when you agree with them. If you disagree, they will try to destroy you.

I think only Donald Trump and his choice cabinet officers can save America from the damage liberals, transformers, and progressives have done. I am 75 I live near Washington DC and I have seen it all.

Guess I don’t have to worry about supporting their businesses since I have never supported them in the first place. Hope the reap the rewards of their intolerance.

Perhaps others are figuring our what FReepers have known for some time: many liberals are smug, self centered a$$h*es.

What a total nut case. I love the part where Tucker derides for his moral vanity.

Gee, if I patronize his business, inform him I support Trump and let liberalism take its course, can I have $135,000 too?

Actually, I think he should be able to turn down business from anybody he likes, but it should also apply to a black-owned BBQ place asked to cater a KKK picnic, as well as a baker who refuses to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding.
That’s liberty.

The CEO is not stupid, even if he does not understand what “turpitude” is.

He is simply delusional. His conception of reality is based on false assumptions. He is experiencing cognitive dissonance. It will get worse.

Maybe it’s just me, but shouldn’t Trump be celebrated for his “lack of moral turpitude”?

And it was not a slip of the tongue; the smug, virtue-seeking tool said it TWICE.

What a buffoon.
