Some are, some aren't. Intolerance isn't something that belongs specifically to one party. All parties have intolerant people.
humans are generally intolerant-
And consider this: a number of people who are "tolerant liberals" are in some sort of group which many groups don't tolerate. An atheist who has been told they have no morals and should not be considered a valid person because they have no God (yes, some people do say that kind of crap) is not going to want to tolerate another person trying to force religion on them, despite considering themselves "tolerant". And if a group is trying to oppress another, is it really wrong for people not to want to hear someone's discriminatory slurs against a group whether you're part of it or not? Furthermore, not tolerating intolerance is a bit of a different thing as well. Peace is a two-way street trying not to allow a tolerance VS intolerance all-out-war with someone could be very frustrating because intolerance, by definition, is on the attack. Everyone's gotta snap sometime. That doesn't mean a "tolerant liberal" telling you to shut up isn't usually tolerant when having a rational, reasonable discussing about the same topic.
The most intolerant group of people are the ones that scream for 'tolerance' the loudest.
