(135,425 posts)There's just not a lot of love for the GOP.
Frankly, you're probably better off confronting the poster directly about the comment, particularly when it's not in "personal insult" territory. I just wouldn't bother to alert on an "insult" against a Republican, because a lot of people here dislike them intensely for their stances on issues that are near and dear.
Public figures are out there--insults directed at them are "public" insults. We're all private citizens here, and (ostensibly, more or less--seems like less lately) on the same team. We should be good to one another, or at least try.
That said, I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over someone insulting Republicans who cut social programs, who insult teachers and other workers, and who clog highways out of spite. They can take care of themselves. They insult me every time they vote against equality, against equal pay, against choice, etc., so to hell with them!
