The ability for the internet to make anything into a pejorative is disturbing. It's mostly kids doing this but responding to stupidity with more stupidity is what the internet does best. See Anita Sarkeesian. She wants a more diverse representation of women in vidja games but clearly didn't play through Hitman. Internet court says the verdict is rape and murder threats
To be fair, it happens outside the world of the internets. O'reilly uses "liberal" as a pejorative in the same way that others might use the word "asshole". But anonymous threats, swats, and doxing + bullying are sadly more common among pissed-off internet kiddies.
