When I first read about "vermin", I sent the comments to my conservative friend who is a Jew. I explained to him that dehumanizing the outgroup is what fuels any genocide that's been committed since the term was invented on 1944 based on Nazi atrocities. It was certainly how the Nazi's regarded Jews. They were less than human. That makes it easy for other humans to kill them.

I don't remember his response, or if I got one. But it certainly wasn't outrage. His belief, from listening to Dennis Prager for three decades, that the Left is destroying the American Experiment makes that impossible.

So I think the answer to your question is no.
