CounterBias: The Thin Skin of Conservatives
From CounterBias:

Conservative pundits utilize a very specific “debate” tactic when they appear on a cable news debate-format show, such as Hannity & Colmes. That tactic is simply to barrage the liberal guest with a series of questions/statements/comments, and in the process leave the liberal guest unable to respond. It’s a bullying tactic employed by pundits like Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly.

2.  I find that to be true of conservatives in general
I've had many conservative friends -- some extremely rightwing -- and they all argue that way. You have to yell over them, and then they accuse you of being overly excited.
