So, if someone uses the term "neocon," do you think they are an anti-Semite?

Not necessarily. However, I happen to think that Pat Buchanan -- whose opposition to "neo-cons" has a long history -- is in fact an anti-semite.

And I think those who tend to use "neo-con," as a perjorative tend also to be anti-Israel, though that does not necessarily equate to anti-semitism. But there does seem often to be a "Jewish Cabal" element to their complaints.

For an interesting take, much better stated than mine, see this article about the supposed Jewish Neo-con Trotskyites (about whom Ron Paul had so much to say, the other day).

Not necessarily.

Then you ought to refrain from saying that some use the term "neocon," because "it's a polite way for them to say 'jew-boy communist.'"

You need a stronger case than that to demonstrate anti-Semitism. Have more care, because false charges of racism are generally least flattering for the accusers.
