Spot on. Right-wingers are like little kids desperately trying to get adult attention by saying dirty words they don't understand. If they get punished, they feel like they've accomplished something. If all they get is amusement, they'll cry and scream even less coherently.
The problem is, these third-graders are armed, which means we do have to take them somewhat more seriously. As little as possible is still a good idea, though.
