Right wing editorial writer Stephens earned his name.
Stephens’s column on Friday, “World War II and the Ingredients of Slaughter,” has been roundly mocked. It is a rare moment, in 2019, when Breitbart, Fox News, the Washington Post, and Talking Points Memo can find something to agree upon. Stephens’s core argument is that the “rhetoric of infestation” was central to the Nazi propaganda campaign, and that today this same rhetoric is used by the American left to target the most vulnerable population of all—“the moderate conservative, the skeptical liberal, the centrist wobbler.” There is no greater injustice today, it seems, than Stephens’s hurt feelings.
