Actually Goldberg has made something that wasn't all that dangerous (sniping at Cole) into a something which could (not likely, but possible) bite him.
Both of them write in narrow fields (Cole the right-wing echo chamber where all dissent is treason and all liberal mean-spirited types who fail to understand either people or real-politik) Cole on the left, where it's take that free-spirited debate leads to real change, even if no one but the left reads it.
So Cole ought to have been allowed his return fire.
But Goldberg, like a usenet hack, just couldn't let it go. He took a couple of paragraphs, and turned them into a full-blown column. Which means Cole scored a palpable hit.
Cole, it seems, isn't likely to do another one, I wouldn't be so sure about Goldberg. Like Michelle Malkin he feels he has something to prove. He has less case for feeling so than she does.
