(I'm not the root level poster)
To criticize (call names, create satire, etc) is at the heart of political dissension.
The next thing you'll be saying is that the founding fathers were the most civil people in the world, they never did anything illegal and never called anyone names!
Of course, one of the primary acts of patriotism that we talk about them committing was vandalizing a corporate freighter and tossing it's cargo overboard. Not that I disagree with that, it was a good gesture of civil disobedience. However, compared to that, I wouldn't exactly call name-calling "stooping". It's called protected political speech, bub - live with it or shut the hell up.
