"sink to their level".

I am sick of that shit. Just sick of it. Being holier-than-thou has gotten us exactly nowhere, and it is never- not once, ever- wrong to punish a bully by subjecting them to their own behavior. In fact, refusing to do so only makes a bully stronger, because they view such inaction as a sign of weakness, and double down on their bullying.

Rush is a bully. Breitbart was a (thankfully and wonderfully dead) bully. They both deserve precisely what they have each received in the past week, and, I, for one, refuse to apologize for anything.
