Also, you can't spin slinging the word cocksucker at someone as an insult as ""I'm sorry I shouldn't -- there's some people who get offended when I say 'cocksucker' in a derogatory way. I love having my cock sucked. And I respect all cocksuckers." Does he really think we're going to believe that when he uses the term as a pejorative, we're going to think, ah, right, he's just letting us know how much "respect" he has for the person? I agree that language choice is not the highest priority issue at the moment but he called his political opponents slags, whores and faggots I think he'd raise a few eyebrows and rightly so. Choice of words always matters.
