“anyone who uses the word “neocon” falls somewhere on the spectrum between Ron Paul and Hitler in my view”
It’s funny that you mentioned that....I stopped reading the piece when I hit the neocon reference. It was a dead give-away that the article had been written by a left wing dip-shit who didn’t know his history re the Viet Nam war and that a Dem controlled congress prematurely defunded the war and an icon but closeted left wing newsman intentionally manipulated public opinion. He admitted as much after he retired.
There were liberal jewish hawks in the dem party but as the anti war movement grew in the dem party, these liberal jewish hawks left the dem party to become conservative jewish hawks in the GOP.
It was the dems who coined the term neoconservatives as a term of contempt and ridicule which Irving Kristol decided his group would wear as a badge.
Today, neoconservative or NeoCon means anyone who subscribes to a foreign policy doctrine that emerged at the beginning of the post cold war period and was implemented under George W Bush
