We call it out to say “we will not stand for this.” Sometimes, colorful language is used to draw attention to this. Sometimes, because people either are not fully aware of this in their experience, wish to turn away from looking at evil, or because they are part of those who "say nothing about bad men” (in the sense of John Stuart Mill’s quote, while "good men...look on and do nothing") the very nature of nasty, disingenuous people who mislead, lie, deceive, do not recuse, demand unwarranted loyalty, refuse to play by the rules, “stack the (court, Board)," slander… must be so vividly brought to light that strong and colorful language IS required."
