I'm curious: Is it worse to call an opponent a "son of a bitch", or to call a female opponent a "bitch"?
Or are both equally inflammatory?
Would someone using such an epithet, or at the very least not condemning such language, automatically lose any support you might otherwise give them?

Sounds like you could never have voted for someone like McCain/Palin, then, since they were either engaging in such violent rhetoric themselves, or simply standing around chuckling while others used such inflammatory language.
Glad to hear you never supported either of them, Geezer. ;)

Nope. I could never have voted for McCain or Palin because I didn't support many of their policies. I voted straight Libertarian in 2010, except for my state representative, who's a Republican representing one of the most liberal districts in Va.
Not voting for them does not mean I was unaware of the character assassination directed at them by the news and entertainment media, or the fact that Democratic politicians were also, if not engaged in such rhetoric, then standing around chuckling at it.
Unfortunately, such attacks have re-emerged in recent years, after a period of detante. I recognize this is occurring on both sides, but I don't have to like it or accept it.

Gawd, Geezer's getting to be just like Raptor...rather than address questions, he starts a new tack: Media is picked on McCain/Palin; even if Democrats DIDN'T do the same, they were laughing at it. It's getting ridiculous.
It's just impossible for him to make his point; what Hoffa said is open to interpretation, tho' it shouldn't have been because the full quote shows his intent, even if his wording was unfortunate. What Breitbart said was FILLED with violent rhetoric and much longer; there is no question what his intent was. There was no reason for it to go beyond that.

Apparently, Geezer, you do not know or appreciate the meaning of the word "IF", And you left out important parts of my quotes

All I'm suggesting that you do is follow YOUR logic, not mine. Apparently, you can't even follow your own premises to their logical end. Sorry dude, but you're as much a tool as rappy.
