Those are the two greatest commandments. Note that if you follow the first, the second will fall into place. And everybody uses the second to preach tolerance or justify themselves when told they are wrong, they leave out the first.
Oh yeah, the problem with that is when people claim to follow the first and show no trace of the second.
That's pretty weird if the second follows automatically from the first.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm talking about people who call themselves Christians and then go to demonstrate asking Obama to deport or shoot all the filthy immigrant kids.
The love love your neighbor or your next (i.e. everybody else) rule sort of demands a certain level of tolerance, especially when you couple it with the whole do not judge others lest you get judged yourself.

Excuse me if I don't get the quotes right, I did all my bible reading in German so far and things probably don't always translate too well directly.
