I'm going to let you explain, since you get upset when people assume you mean something different, but I'm also going to lay this out very clearly:
Intolerance towards attitudes that negatively affect others, based on their skin colour, sex, sexual orientation, or other genetically imbedded attributes
IS NOT THE SAME AS
Intolerance towards others based on their skin colour, sex, sexual orientation, or other genetically imbedded attributes

Do you see the difference? Do you see how you cannot just paint the whole thing with the "intolerance is intolerance" brush? One is intolerant of harmful attitudes directed at people. Another is intolerant of ACTUAL PEOPLE. The difference here is that you can CHANGE being homophobic, or racist, or sexist, or whatever. But you can't change being gay, or black, or a woman (well technically, but that's a different conversation), or whatever.

Based on the sentence I quoted, taking it ONLY as verbatim, not 'assuming' anything about whatever hidden meaning you'll attempt to explain later, I can only take it as this:

You believe that the people who think the nazi's should be jailed are at the very same level as the nazi's who believe Jews should be killed.

Sorry, I just like the nazi references, REALLY drives it home don't you think?
