The Rude Pundit - In Brief: Tom Cotton's Gitmo Blues

3. Same thing with his use of the "c word" and other sexist slurs.

There's a big difference between being rude and using bigoted slurs. I love his writing the most when he does his serious pieces. His "rudeness" can be really funny, but it completely kills the funny when he uses the slurs, and sadly, he tends to use a lot.

Edit: it's disappointing, too, since he has a very clear grasp on what's being done to PoC, women, LGBT people, minorities, etc., in this country. I think it comes from a position of privilege, to be honest. He feels he can use them since he makes his feelings on the issues clear enough.

Edit 2: also notice that he never uses racial slurs, just homophobic and sexist ones.
