I using profanity and calling someone an idiot a threatening phone call? I don't mean that rhetorically - I'm serious. If I call and say " you are a f***ink idiot", have I threatened that person? Tastelss, sure. Much better way to leave a disagreement. But unless someone says something "I know where you love and I'm going to kill you and your family", I'm just not seeing it as a threat.

What about using hunting terminology and crosshair imagery in political speeches?
