Excerpt from m-w.com for bigot:
Pronunciation: 'bi-g&t
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French, hypocrite, bigot
Date: 1661
: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own
opinions and prejudices
I am anti-Microsoft, but you'd be hard pressed to call me a bigot for
it. I once loved MS's work. My eyes have since been opened to the
wasteland they leave behind in their conquest of all things
technological.
As for the intolerant part of the definition... Should I tolerate a
complete disregard for consumer well-being? Should I tolerate a company
who insists that they know what's better for me than I do? Should I
tolerate a company who disables 3rd party software because it poses a
threat to their in-house built solutions?
If you answer yes, what more should we tolerate? Maybe Manson wasn't
such a bad guy. Perhaps Saddam Hussein is just a misunderstood man. We
shouldn't have been so hard on Hitler. He was just expressing his own
artistic vision of the world. How much do we tolerate?
You want a chant/rant?
