Right wing bloggers at it again

Fresh off the debacle of the right wingnut attack on a reporter held at gunpoint in Iraq, comes their latest frightening overreaction:

Daily Kos has a discussion of a University of Texas Professor who has been receiving threats because someone misconstrued his statements as advocating extermination of 90% of the human race.

This is so typical. Why are conservatives so afraid? Everything is always fear. Fear of terrorism, fear of immigrants, fear of women, fear of critical thinking, fear of science.
