Thanks, I also found it an offensive phrase. I did go look up "Neo" in Websters..and still found it offensive when used in the context of neo-cons.
Actually, after reading up on NEO,.. it would seem Buchannan is the Neo, because of the "abnormal change" he has gone through in his demeanor and positions. We used to actually agree with him years ago. But he has gotten really strange. If that offends supporters of him, I'm sorry and it's too bad. It's the truth of how we feel.
FRegards!

"Actually, after reading up on NEO,.. it would seem Buchannan is the Neo"Agreed, 1000%.
As I said before, I have never read the term "neo-con" used in any BUT a disparaging way by either the far right or the entire left....therefore we can safely assume the term is, and is meant to be, an insult to put those who disagree on the defensive...thus giving the far-right and entire left a small tactical advantage over the statistical majority.
