Sometimes yes.
If the question cannot be easily re-phrased to make it less offensive to some, then just ask it in plain and simple English.
I have seen very fair and intelliugent questions which WERE sensible and fair questions - but people have claimed they were racist / sexist / theist / or otherwise politically incorrect.
There are some terribly fragile people out there who will read negativity in all things - that's just a shame for them - I have no reason to confuse and muddle a question just to make sure some thin skinned berk doesn't throw a wobbly.
No offence ;)

If the question is an attack on somebody, then no. "I hate you, you peice of crap. I hope you die a miserable death, and may your decayed skeleton be pecked clean by birds... no offense <3". For example, is still stunningly rude. So adding "no offense" doesn't change that. Now, perhaps, "You aren't quite the smartest person in the world, no offense" is acceptable.

Depends. How into masochism are you? Do you get your rocks off being beaten up and left for dead? Does a broken arm thrill you? Or a pair of black eyes? Or a busted nose?
Why not try an empirical experiment. Go find some biker dude in steel and leather. Call him on his taste in attire. Be very rude about your choice of language. Stand within arm's reach. Note the response. After you're out of ICU take notes. Then get back to us with them.

I think it should be avoided if you can.
However, some people need the verbal smack if they are starting to edge the conversation in a bad direction.
Its a tactical way to be, as you note, rude, but then Back Peddle; Lawyers use the technique a Lot :-)

No offense - but BAD SQUIRREL.
Words don't debitch, they only excuse in the mind of the asker. And usually, when someone pointedly asks a really rude question and says "no offense", they really mean "I hope you take offense".

No, it's not. If you know the question is rude, then there is never a right way to ask it. Even if you say "no offense".

A rude question means you're not PC.
I can't stand PC.
I also have problems with some rude questions.
Would it rub you the wrong way if I didn't answer it or just turned and left! I mean if you're rude you should expect that, right!

Or, you can do it the Fox News way.
Christians: Just a bunch of delusional sheep?
SEE?? See what I did? I phrased a subjective opinion as a question so that I'm not responsible for its answer.

You should make efforts to phrase the question so as to minimize the level of rudeness.

What is really OK is not to try to offend anybody, here or elsewhere.
This is the difference between educated persons or vulgar, crude, uncouth, indecent, vernacular, ordinary people, who the best thing they could do is to remain silent.
