That is too kind- the op-ed is a lie.
Not only that, I'm reminded of the conservative Op-ed columnist from the conservative National Review who thought Chelsea Clinton and her whole family should be be assassinated in 2001.
Like an Op-Edder is the be-all and end-all.
Link?
The National Review, after keeping it online for years and years, finally deleted it. It was pretty disgusting.
Here is Sullivan quoting a piece of it:
DERBYSHIRE AWARD WINNER 2001: "Chelsea is a Clinton.
She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past � I�m not arguing for despotism s a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble � recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin�s penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an �enemy of the people. The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, �clan liability�. In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished �to the ninth degree�; that is, everyone in the offender�s own generation would be killed, and everyone related via four generations down, to the great-great-grandparents, would also be killed.
� � John Derbyshire, in
National Review Online."
