First off, 'stupid bitch' is pretty insulting.

But second, you seem to argue that death wishes are a fair response to RW opinions. That's a scary and wrong-headed argument. The proper response to a RW argument is a LW argument that counters it with facts. Resorting to hateful language and wishing death means the respondent is an asshole and also either too stupid or too lazy to refute the actual argument.
