Paleocon, whatever it was meant to convey, has become a codeword for people with neo-nazi leanings

The archtypical paleo-con is Senator Robert Taft. When you run across someone who has a high regard for the Constitution, that person is probably a paleo-con. Me, for example.

If anyone is using paleo-con as a code word for skinheads and neo-nazis it is the neo-conservatives.

The primary tactic of the various socialist types is to demonize their opponents.

No. It is the nazis themselves. You can verify this for yourslef by looking at any neo-nazi (Stormfront) board or any board not admitting to the neo-nazi label (such as LibertyForum) but still hosting mostly neo-nazis. Perhaps the most well-known instance is a fellow calling himslf "paleocon-avatar" (Paul Fallavollita). He's a shining light on Polinco, LF, Natvan, Vanguard and so on. Here's a short blurp about him from his school:

Paleocon Avatar

Look around and you can see the term has been hijacked. And going to another forum, which I'm not going to drop the name of here, you'll find that the forum is:

- Regarding itself as "paleocon".
- Regarding any conservatives as "neocon".
- Strongly white supremacist.

The amusing thing, however, is that all these "white supremacists" are talking openly with each other on the board. Which is controlled by one of them - they think. In reality, the owner is a New Black Panther, and one of the most militant ones. I've had a few laughs over that one :)).
