But that's just the thing - poor behavior on the part of liberals is overwhelmingly outnumbered by instance of fine, reasonable behavior - which of course doesn't get covered by the press. Poor behavior isn't *rampant* - it's exceptional. What the party hasn't mastered is a way to react to that behavior or to counter the right-wing description of it.

I really don't hold the Democratic party responsible for the behavior of unruly individuals who have just reached their limit in terms of tolerating Ann Coulter. Then again, I don't think Ann Coulter should be tolerated - I think she should be lambasted and disagreed with every time she says something erroneous or misleading, which is ALL THE TIME, and I think people should protest any media outlet that carries her voice. -Not because she doesn't have the right to speak her piece, but because she doesn't have the right to pretend to be a reasoned commentator and I don't think she has any right to have the influential position that she obviously does.
