A couple of the quotes are:

Farwell [sic] will be remembered as the pompous, arrogant person that he was. — Paul (Grand Rapids, MI)

He will be remembered only in the short term. His legacy will be one of intolerance and bigotry. — MM

In wondering what these people were talking about I looked up a couple of definitions:

ar·ro·gant (ār’ə-gənt)
adj.

• Having or displaying a sense of overbearing self-worth or self-importance.
• Marked by or arising from a feeling or assumption of one’s superiority toward others: an arrogant contempt for the weak.

in·tol·er·ant (ĭn-tŏl’ər-ənt)
adj. Not tolerant, especially:

• a. Unwilling to tolerate differences in opinions, practices, or beliefs, especially religious beliefs.

Isn’t it ironic that those who accuse others of being either arrogant or intolerant express those traits themselves?
