Where were Howie and his buddies when the wingnuts were expressing their death threats and rape fantasies to amanda marcotte, or the college kids from California, or the little girl who did the antichristianity rap on youtube? Or the time Olbermann got fake anthrax through the mail? Oh, that's right, Howie's buddies were aiding and abetting the guilty wingnuts! Idle comments from the too-tightly wound are newsworthy, but threatening communications and actions from the dregs of the right are not? maybe that's because the loons on the right are too much a part of the core audience to risk offending them.
