This is important not because some schoolyard Holla-back Girl thing. It is important because unless you name names, the media won't follow up. Naming names forces the media to ask McCain about it and force him to defend himself. In other words, even though these aholes may not stop, at least they will start to have some consequences they have to account for.

I'm trying to remember a time in his first 6 years where he ever did this -- calling out the unacceptable debavior specifically and naming names.
