I agree with your point.

I think the editor who wrote this editorial would completely agree. He was trying to inform readers as to _what_ the specific terms were, not how they were used. If he'd just said "hateful slur," that may have been enough to make his point. But a reader understanding that the slur was "c*nt" would "get it" quickly and viscerally. How despicable.
 
What I find distressing is that Sanders is not vigorously condemning this type of behavior. It would take nothing at all away from his support, other than a trivial number of "psychos," and it would not diminish his issues in the slightest.

I think we are seeing a facet (not all) of Sanders' core character, and I think it's enough to disqualify him.
