The poster child for Neoconservatism is probably David Frum. I would say that he, more than anyone else I know of, qualifies as a "quasi-conservative."
This is not to say that Paleoconservatives are always innocent themselves. I personally, however, find Pat Buchanan to be far more tolerable than David Frum.
This is not to say that Paleoconservatives are always innocent themselves. Innocent?
I personally, however, find Pat Buchanan to be far more tolerable than David Frum. I did not question whether Buchanan is tolerable to you: I claimed that Buchanan is intolerant of others.
Now, the question was NOT what Frum's or anyone else's views were: I said that accusing that person of treason merely on the basis of that person's Jewishness, of Catholicism, is defamation and bigotry.
The very standpoint from which you approach this issue is also faulty: the fact that a person --- say, Frum --- is not "innocent" does legitimizes criticism of that person's behavior; it does not justify prejudice towards that person on the basis of that person's religion or origin.
