Why do you feel so strongly? I generally avoid politics because i have a distrust of media... everything has a spin... so it's entirely possible that I missed whatever incident makes you say this.
I heart this. You can disagree and not be an asshole, or resort to name calling.
No she isn't. She lacks depth and warmth.
Sometimes that kind of language can undermine an otherwise intelligent and insightful point of view. My issue with those, such as yourself, who have an issue with that type of language is that , well, it's just snobbery basically. Swearing and this particular type of language are more likely to be used by working class people and those who have not had such excellent educational opportunities. It's classist.
Sweet little old ladies even use the word in Scotland. Actually, the Scottish old lady I used to know was a translator and spoke several languages. Still used the word cunt.

I will attempt to skirt around the TOS to share this anecdote: In my grandmother's kitchen one day, where all of the most interesting conversations happened, one of my aunts was telling my grandmother that she knew very little about the world because she had spent her entire life in the kitchen. My grandmother had worked in the kitchen of a stately home from a young age after her mother died, and she was saying "It was very kind of the master, his lordship, to allow her to stay on and work there and provide for her younger sisters." My aunt called her a good n-----. I was very young, but old enough to feel surprised and embarrassed by her use of that word. I left the room due to shame and embarrassment and told on her basically, so a different aunt then explained it all to me. So encountering the N word was a fantastic learning opportunity.
