Historian James Hitchcock, 1979:
“The media’s alleged commitment to pluralism,” says Hitchcock, “is at
base a kind of hoax. The banner of pluralism is raised in order to win
toleration for new ideas as yet unacceptable to the majority. Once
toleration has been achieved, public opinion is systematically
manipulated first to enforce a status of equality between the old and
the new, then to assert the superiority of the new over the old. A final
stage is often the total discrediting, even sometimes the banning, of
what had previously been orthodox.” Hitchcock quotes T.S. Eliot, who put
the matter most bluntly: “Paganism holds all the most valuable
advertising space.” --quoted by Esolen at Crisis
It's helpful to know the dictionary-definition of "tolerate," of course. Then you'll understand why it's true that we 'tolerate' Obozo.
