Address it forthrightly and firmly. Say you earned an F but it has no bearing on your contribution to the field of sociology or public policy or economics. Tell them if they exclude you based on that one course, they can go to hell. Don't fail to mention that the instructor was a vindictive prick. You want to make the ad. coms. feel guilty if they reject you.

Adopt a hostile tone; demand from them a commitment to be on your committee, then you have a "bid" going into the admissions process. If they say they can't evaluate your profile, ask them how they can possibly handle evaluating their student's work. If they ignore you/stop responding, flood their in-boxes with follow-ups, CC'ing the department chair, graduate director, and dean of the college (perhaps even the student directory as well). They will admire your perseverance, tenacity, and boldness.
