What I believe you're seeing is a backlash against the "politics of personal destruction" which as become a hallmark of the Clinton administration. It was the far left which labelled conservatives, "starvers of children" "homophobes", "racist", and on and on in order to shut down reasonable debate and discussion in the area of *ideas*.

I've never seen a conservative call someone a "stupid racist pig" while having a normal discussion regarding education and bussings effects on it. Just think for a minute about how rude and insulting that really is? Could you imagine telling someone to their face, "You are a stupid racist pig"! I sure couldn't even if I disliked their ideas intensely.

The popularity of talk radio and the internet has finally given conservatives a "voice" against the onslaught of liberal bias in the mainstream press. And the left are in panic mode because they see their ideas are steadily moving into the "ash-heap of human history". People who have rarely had their ideas challenged in a real way are getting an eye opener if you ask me. And they don't like it very much.
