    I'm now editing AlterNet's Election2020 coverage (it's under totally new management post-Don Hazen). It's PT, and I'll continue to contribute to The Nation. Have ideas for interesting stories/ analysis? Shoot me a pitch @ Joshuahol@AlterNet.org. (Pls put "PITCH" in sub line.)

    Bret Stephens likened Palestinians to mosquitoes in his WSJ column in 2013, so he should probably contemplate more about his role in bringing back "rhetoric of infestation"

  3. Nah. MOE in general election polls this far out has historically been something like +/- 9.

  5. Obviously Florida has always had hurricanes. But rides very hot water, on seas that are higher than they used to be, on a planet where hurricanes now crawl across land more slowly than before.

    So this clearly warrants a correction and it undermines the entire column. Brett is self-owning on a historic level right now, but who is uncritically editing this guy?

  8. I really could not have conjured up a funnier outcome than Bret googling “Jews as bedbugs” and building his next column around the first Google Books result he could find but that’s exactly what happened

  9. Actual snowflakes are embarrassed by Stephens' thin skin.

  10. And boring! At least if he had original or interesting things to say...

  11. The NYT could find a dozen conservative writers who are more interesting and less whiny and ridiculous than Stephens but most of them aren't housebroken and the management would never know what kind of racist or misogynistic shit they might come out with.

  12. Can we start deplatforming ridiculous clowns like Stephens just for being annoying as fuck?

  13. Brett Stephens: "The right to offend is the most precious right." Also Brett Stephens: CALLING ME A METAPHORICAL BEDBUG IS SOME DOWNRIGHT NAZI SHIT AND I'M GOING TO WRITE TEN COLUMNS ABOUT IT!

  14. I've never wanted to punch a Nazi as much as I do right now.

  15. GWU’s provost's reaction to Stephens' attempt to deplatform one of his profs was to offer Stephens yet another platform. Fucking Hell.

  16. It's so far beyond parody. Perhaps the NYT is trying to put The Onion out of business by publishing Stephens' nonsense.

  17. And the really maddening thing is that a certain type of liberal will always try to demonstrate their seriousness by taking these whiny hypocrites' grifts seriously.

  19. Call one of these guys who constantly whine about safe spaces on college campuses a bedbug and they claim you did a Holocaust on them. How can anyone be so clownish? And why would the NYT publish such garbage?
