Oh, let's ban the Bible. Great idea! In fact, let's ban everything offensive and hateful, because we dislike it. Well, Mark Twain's work contains the 'N' word, so let's ban it in public places. In fact, to avoid offending everyone, we are banning all written, spoken, and gestured language within public property. Let's also urinate on the Bill of Rights and wipe our arses with the Declaration of Independence. You see where I'm going with this, don't you?

Liberty comes at many prices - one of them is dealing with other people who also must be free. Not everyone will get along, and just because you dislike what someone else says or believes that does not give you the right to censor them. JUST IGNORE IT. Tolerance is a virtue of liberalism - but tolerance does not mean the same thing as acceptance. I accept gays, I tolerate Nazis and Communists. There's a big difference. Even if I think Nazis and Communists are morons with dangerous philosophies(which thankfully have been castrated by history) I don't advocate banning them.

Good. Then you disagree with the leftist line of thinking.

I disagree with 'leftist' thinking, but leftism is more about economics than anything else. What I disagree with here is intolerance - something not exclusive to the left.
