Popper over tolerantie

Behalve over John Stuart Mill  wordt in ultra-rechtse kringen ook over Karl Popper de nodige onzin geschreven.  Vooral het citaat: 'Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance' wordt daarbij ingezet tegen de 'multiculti-knuffelaars. Als je de passage uit Poppers The Open Society and Its Enemies' (1945) helemaal leest, staat er echter iets anders. 

•“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise."
