An outspoken Democrat is articulate; an outspoken Republican is divisive.

An outspoken Democrat will get lots of air time to espouse the views of the party. An outspoken Republican's collegues will get lots of air time as long as they spend that time distancing themselves from the outspoken Republican.

An outspoken Democrat "shares" his "vision" with America. An outspoken Republican "forces" his "morals" on America.

You nailed it right there. The press villifies outspoken Republicans and conservatives while it glorifies hateful, vitriolic liberals. Example: If you're anti-abortion, you're a judgmental, opinionated, religious kook whose views are antiquated and rare. If you're pro-abortion, you're a reasonable, rational, non-judgmental moderate and all good modern thinkers agree with you. The media are a huge part of the problem here.
