When someone insists on using childish name calling in a political discussion do you find it undermines your ability to take them seriously?

To be specific, i'm talking about people who feel the need to say things like libtard, hitllery and obozo.
Do you not get how ridiculous that makes you sound to another adult?

I'd list some things liberals say but i just don't hear those often enough for me to remember them off hand.

A lot of them are not even particularly clever, or even used well. They're just a stand in meant to be offensive. As for ones that liberals used, there are some, one I actually liked because when I saw it it was being used in a rather subtle burn. At just one point in the piece, the author referred to "Trumpski", clearly a jab at his Russian connections.
