Referring to women as the "c" word.

37. Richard Gere referred to someone as the 'C' word in a movie. As a character of course.

I doubt this is the only instance. In movies all of the slurs can be found being spoken by people when the character might say something like that.

I remember the movie about the Neo-Nazi march in Skokie. There were tons of antisemitic comments by characters in that movie.

Matthew Mcconaughey made homophobic remarks in Dallas Buyers Club.

The point I am making is, in character, these things are acceptable.

At the risk of being pedantic, Lee Papa posts these missives as "The Rude Pundit", not as Lee Papa. It's a character he plays.

I'm sure we would all agree that Stephen Colbert is not a Republican. But if we are going to take HIS words literally on his show, he is one. But he is not. It's a character he plays that is a caricature of one or more conservative pundits.
