I find you to be morally bankrupt. Nobody deserves threats of violence. The incident reveals that Donohue's followers are a criminal (it's illegal to make such threats, much less carry them out) bunch of thugs. Since Donohue believes one should be held to the statements of those they associate with (why else would he care about the personal blogs of Edwards' staffers), by his own standards he's condoning these threats. However, the hate Donohue cultivates is not necessary to prove that he is scum. His long litany of bigoted comments like claiming the problem with Hollywood is that it is full of "secular Jews" prove he's demagogue and a bigot.
As for those that claim they were offended, too damn bad. Free speech means someone will offend you. If you think a violent mob response is justified, virtual or otherwise, because your faith is offended, you are a pathetic excuse for an American. This country was founded on the ideal of freedom and if you don't like it, you should find somewhere else to live.
