Two points. One: did you read that article? Because it doesn't seem to contain anything like what you imply.
The other: a frog in a pot of warming water will jump out when it becomes uncomfortably hot. A frog thrown in a pot of boiling water will die instantly. Not only is the metaphor a paranoid affirmation of the slippery slope argument, it is also dead wrong.
