Jeff Goldstein of the blog Protein Wisdom has come under the most vile attack of a blogger I've seen. Apparently a professor at the University of Arizona, Deb Frisch, has leveraged threats against Goldstein and his wife and child. Michelle Malkin has a good overview. More can be found at Instapundit and Captain's Quarters.
UPDATE: Sioux Falls blogger Jay Reding has some more observations that are worth reading.
UPDATE II: Just as a footnote, I'd like to say that I agree with what my friend Prof. Schaff says above. The leftwing blogosphere is not responsible for what happened to Jeff Goldstein (and I also agree that Coulter is shrill and disrespectful). Captain Ed is right about the Goldstein/Frisch episode: "Now, if someone uses their blog to defend her comments, then that's a basis for criticism. Otherwise, further commentary is not a requirement."
UPDATE III: Euphoric Reality has more, as does INDCJournal, who also writes:
Achieving Malkinesque levels of hate mail is a noteworthy event; achieving Malkinesque levels of hate mail that actually reference Malkin, racism and chimpmunks has got to be some sort of milestone in the annals of online animus.
