Irony

So, if you're at a protest, and you're holding a sign saying "We will not fight hate with hate", or "Love", while next to you on one side someone is vandalizing private property, and on your other side is a person holding a sign that says, "All Mormons burn in hell!", at what point do you realize the contradiction?

Or, when you claim your cause is about tolerance, but when you lose the election you immediately single out the most prominent minority on the other side of the issue and begin attacking them, and threatening their members with violence, at what point do you have to admit tolerance isn't really one of your own strong points?

Or when you say the following: “The main focus is going to be going after the Utah brand,” (D.C. blogger John Aravosis) said. “At this point, honestly, we’re going to destroy the Utah brand. It is a hate state.”, can you find the irony in your statement?

I thought the same thing when I saw those photos. It is obvious which side is intolerant and hateful.

It is quite ironic. Unfortunately, there are too many ironic people on both sides.
