Bergoglio the Insulter, Bergoglio the Hypocrite

Oh, how we just love the interviews on the journey back to Rome by Bergoglio the Papal Clown. A blog post or two can always be posted. I would write, “written” but they write themselves.

"Today we are used to insulting each other: one politician insults another, a neighbor insults another, even in the family we insult each other. I dare not say that there is an insult culture, but it is a weapon at hand." 

Does he mean in the same manner as these all documented and linked at
