"So much for the tolerant left!"
The paradox of tolerance requires intolerance of the intolerant. Nazis provide no meaningful addition to our political discourse - the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
Also the paradox of (in)tolerance completely disolves once you view tolerance as a social contract and not as a principle. Those who break the contract are not covered by it.
