Andrea Mitchell's name is Andrea Mitchell

128. Right wingers aren't snowflakes

well, until they are, so I doubt she cares one whit.

It is not really calling her that, like you'd call her that in person, it's just a reminder of one of her right wing connections.

It's not so utterly horrible, like using a direct sexist slur like b------h or a direct racist slur, etc.

It's a micro aggression against a person who would not even bother to be offended and laugh all the way to the bank and love that she gets to go on TV and get her opinion to millions while little you upon whom she looks down is defending her - she'd likely laugh at you.

The right would use "Barry Obama" which Barack used to use but then changed his mind. I could get all offended at them doing that, but they would just laugh at me.

Both sides are not equal - there's a difference in tone and intent.
