I believe whoever used bigotted in reference to pro-war people meant that they won't listen to the other side, ie, won't consider that maybe the war isn't right, or wasn't started for the right reasons.
Yeah, it's MY definition, not THE definition.

You could also say the same thing about a lot of people who are against the war. You could call them bigots because they refuse to believe that the war could be the right thing to do.

Besides, it's your personal opinion. I firmly believe the that the war, while not a good thing because many people have and will die, is the right thing to do. It's going to take quite a lot for anyone else to convince me otherwise. I guess I'll just have to a bigot for now.
