Hilarious.

Irving Kristol was one of the first to use the term “Neoconservative” and he applied to himself and those like him who had been on the Left.

He even titled a collection of his essays “The Neoconservative Persuasion”.

I guess no one bothered to tell him that it was antisemitic to use that phrase. But since he’s Jewish he probably would have regarded that PC charge as utterly foolish, which it is.

The leftwingtard usage grew up AFTERWARD ~ obviously Irving wasn't as prescient as he should have been or maybe he'd used a different term.

It's like the poor Romneyite who thought up the term Bushbot ~ only to see that turned into Mittbot later on.

Oh the humanity!

I see zeppelins bursting in air.
