However, the backlash has been scary and kind of makes me glad I live in Europe now. It has shown a sign of America that I have not seen before - a dark side. I am totally pro freedom of speech,for both sides. But when someone is sent death threats and violence is shown towards someone's product, there is something wrong somewhere.

Maybe he took the criticisms or parodies of his loud style to heart - he's the exception of the pundit who has (gasp!) grown quieter and less assured of his own perpetual rightness.
