Because it would hurt more.
I think my favorite was "non-tipping". Or maybe "education-ravaging". Or wait, maybe "bribe-soliciting". Or perhaps "wedding party bombing" and "puppy stomping".
I would use a lot of those things in that drivel to describe the Clintons alone, but you know, hey, to each their own.
And then there's the impalement part -- on the "sharp and righteous sword of the people's justice". With writing like that, maybe Babs Streisand could hire him every time she has to make a public speech and say that Shakespeare wrote it first. It would go nicely with tradition.

You know, they'd have been well served by looking through this list one more time and thinking about how many of these descriptions could apply to their own party and/or those they choose to root for.
When you start attributing opposition to your politcal positions on virtually any issue to a combination of stupidity and laziness, then you have left the field of rational debate.
I'm not a republican. Obviously, I am a progressive or a democrat either.
When I read a screed like this, even if I might agree with some points of it, I come to one conclusion:

Easy answer Drago. JFK's wiretapping, his attempts to assassinate Castro, his involvement in covert CIA operations in Vietnam and other countries was a disgrace and a significant blemish on his legacy.
Similarly, FDR's internment of the Japanese was racist, undemocratic and a disgrace to his legacy.

JFO: "Malkin;s book justified the internment of the Japanese."
I'll take your word for it.
JFO: "Do you agree or disagree that FDR was right in doing it?"
Wow!! Congratulations! Finally, a simple, direct question!! What a day!!
My answer is, I disagree (within the comfort of my hindsight and y greater historical understanding of the domestic threat posed by some actual Japanese-American saboteurs) with FDR's wholesale internment of Japanese-Americans on the West Coast. I think it's clear that one of the major reasons why the Japanese-Americans were rounded up (as opposed to German-Americans or Italian-Americans) was cultural. There was so little "general" (national) understanding of the Japanese or their culture, in addition to the Japanese living in large but confined areas of te states, that it made it easier to single them out.
Of course, the fact that it was the Japanese that bombed the homeland and not the Germans or Italians cannot be discounted.
But again, note my caveat. Could you really say that if you were just the same old JFO you are today but living in 1941 that you would not have supported such a policy at that time? I don't think either of us is really in a position to answer that.
JFO: "Can't wait for your weasel non-answer."
