As a black man, the use of the word as a tool to point out overt racism supported by a group does not offend me.
There is a difference between using the word 'nigger' and calling someone a 'nigger'. Words are just that, words. Intent is what matters. Being reactionary and claiming that anyone who is not offended by a word is a racist is stupid and beneath someone of meager intelligence.
Generalizing a political view to it's extremists is just as stupid. Not all Tea Party members are racists. Not all Tea Partyers are hyper-religious neocons. Not all Liberals are communists who want to take your money and give it to everyone else. Pointing out the ones who are as deleterious to the group as a whole can be helpful, if done in a way that's not meant to discredit the rest of the more moderate people.
You sound like a child trying to tattle when no one cares.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
