Are you denying that the term "neocon" has become practically synonymous with "the Jews"? Or that the name "Wolfowitz" is commonly used as a euphemsim by anti-Semites when they want to disguise their anti-Semitism?

There are plenty of leftist Jews who believe that Jews who express conservative views are "Nazis", just as there are many leftist blacks who label conservative blacks as "uncle Toms".

It's clear that Kuttner and Rubin are knowingly doing exactly the same thing.

I've always understood the term to mean "Reagan democrats" who abandoned the party due to Jimmy Carter's idiocy and moved over to the Republicans. There may be some prominent Jews within the bunch, but the majority of them are not. Pundits like Tim Russert and Chris Matthews use the term freely, something they wouldn't do if the term was considered a pejorative code word for jewish republicans.

This statement was not addressed to me but it is such an absurdity that I feel compelled to answer. It is true that the neocons believe that Israel should be protected militarily and to a ridiculous extreme, but it is an outrageous assertion that the actual political philosophy simply does not exist and is simply anti-Semitism. Neocons are real.This absolutely wacky idea that you have invented that there is some sort of conspiracy among anti-Semites. It isn’t true. It is a red herring. If it weren’t such pathetically transparent as a poly to distract from the actual policy it would be easy to believe that you are the real anti-Semite.

Before you make unfounded, outrageous, bigoted and idiotic statements check even basic facts. Go to a search engine and learn for yourself what the Doctrine of Preemption is and who its creators were. I doubt you will need to do that, because I think you already know what it is and who its advocates are within and outside the Administration, but you want to distract the real issue with “race baiting” in a new form.
