When I wrote "could" I meant it in the context of "could actually hold those views and say them and not be hounded/ laughed at/ pilloried/ immediately removed from public office by popular opinion".
Although your response would still apply.
I suppose the best test of a liberal/ truly democratic attitude (both terms used in the wider sense) is listening to someone trash your opinions and not acting on the urge to suppress them.
