Purging the Neocons

Sobran Column ^ | 01-06-03 | Sobran, Joseph

[rmlew]

Froma man who lies about Judaism, slanders Jewish law, and recycles classical antisemitism.

[Huck]

At stake is the good name of the neoconservative philosophy. It would be a disaster to its principles for the general public to get the false impression that those principles are nothing but a “front” for agents of a foreign power who want to trick us into wars against our own interests.

See? He's just looking out for neoconservatism. LOL.

[cripplecreek]

if you want to make the far left squeal like a pig, just point out that the word NAZI is an acronym for the national socialist party of old germany.

the truth is like a red hot poker in the eye, or better yet salt on a slug.

[Poohbah]

This needs an "Aw geez" graphic.

[Dan Evans]

neo is short for ‘Jewish.’

When did Neo become Jewish? He doesn't look Jewish.

[sinkspur]

Sobran also gives public addresses to The Institute for Historical Studies, one of the most blatant Holocaust revisionist outfits around.

[anniegetyourgun]

Yep...thanks for reminding people of his clear agenda of hate.

[hchutch]

Real interesting crowds the paleos hang out with.

[liberallarry]

And how would Sobran separate Israeli-Firsters from American-First Jewish neo-cons?

[ex-snook]

Did Cheney, Will, Gaffney, Thomas, and Barnes convert?

[Poohbah]

And how would Sobran separate Israeli-Firsters from American-First Jewish neo-cons?

He'd insist that the latter do not exist.

[hchutch]

You're probably right about that.

[westerfield]

And a lot of them, many of whom happened to be Jewish, especially wanted the United States to fight Israel’s enemies. In the last few years, neocon has become synonymous with these particular neocons, though it’s perfectly possible to adopt the neocon philosophy in principle without being either Jewish or pro-Israel.

Whether they all can be considered neocons or not, there is a good % of conservatives who seem to believe that American and Israeli interests are one and the same in the mideast. People like Frum seem to enjoy smearing those conservatives who question this policy as being anti-semites, so I understand where Sobran is coming from on this. Quite frankly I can't think of a single conservative off hand who has been critical of Israel who hasn't been smeared in this fashion at one time or another. In some peoples minds, any criticism of Israel = anti-semitism, whether deserved or not.

????

I thought that "Neo" was translated "New".

Also, I think I'm a neocon...but I am a White, Christian Evangelical.

I guess that makes me either a Caucacon or a Chrevacon.

:o)

ChakaKhan!

"there is a good % of conservatives who seem to believe that American and Israeli interests are one and the same in the mideast."

I'd be one of those.

[rmlew]

The problem is that in te case of Sobran, it isdeserved.
He lies about Jewish law, slanders Israel, and speaks at Holocaust Revion/Denial conferences.

Sobran: My Obsession with Jews
Joe's an anti-Semite.

[Sabertooth]

Is there a lesson here for the neocons? I think so. Like the liberals of yore, they have carelessly allowed their movement to be infiltrated by Zionist partisans and agents who have brought suspicion on all of them. And just as the liberals of McCarthy’s day had to purge Communists from their ranks in order to preserve their good name, it’s up to patriotic American neocons — surely the great majority — to weed out the Israel-firsters among them.

The writer should change his name to Joseph Pogrom.

Hey Joe... Jordan is Palestine. Does that make me a Jooo?

Honkeycon? Crackercon?
