Boorish is putting it mildly. It DOES fall under hate crime (which includes insults and verbal abuse). I think hate crime is a clear line that we don't traverse on this list. Pompous gas bag is not a hate crime. Faggot is. I would prefer the way William F. Buckley introduced Norman Mailer ("unalloyed narcissism"). Mailer even found it charming.
OTOH, Buckley had his own moments of pompous gas baggery and boorishness. No actual civility from either side here.
