I'm confused. Are you suggesting that those passages are illiberal?

  ... no? And I don't see how that inference can be made? There is a group of people who believe we should "tolerate the in intolerant" (quoting olliej's characterization). These people often say that 'freedom of speech' must be given a high status, and extends beyond preventing government restrictions on speech to also include private restrictions. That is, free speech without repercussions. Some of these people justify their views connecting them to classic writings on liberalism. However, reading those classic works shows that they are wrong, as I quoted.
