I think its inappropriate, even if it was written outside the United States. Its on a level with Ann Coulter's ridiculous line: "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
I did a search on the author and it looks like he's just a TV critic for the paper's website. While not an excuse, it probably explains how that sentence got through, since he's not under strict editorial control. I don't know what he's doing writing about American politics, but my guess is that he won't be anymore.
