Neocons, Jews, and Revolutionaries. Oh, My!
At some point in the last couple of years, the word “neocon” changed meaning for the left. It used to mean “member of a shadowy Jewish cabal that secretly runs the United States for Jewish purposes *wink wink*“. Now, it just seems to mean any foreign policy the leftist using it doesn’t like. And, oh yeah, the Jews are still behind it all.
The current Keeper of the Neocon Definition is The Atlantic’s flagship blogger Andrew Sullivan, who uses the word so often that I’m starting to believe he has some sort of affiliate deal that banks him 50 bucks every time he types it. If that’s true, then this week’s Iranian revolution has made him a very rich man.
His rantings on the evil neocon threat and how it has inflamed everything from Iran’s revolution to toe fungus have finally drawn the attention of both Donald Douglas and Dan Riehl have laid the royal smackdown on him for his silliness. Not to be outdone, Moe Lane delivered a short and sweet boot to the unmentionables.
These blogospheric beatings are important. Folks like Sullivan want to peddle their various conspiracies (and, believe me, some of them are doozies) featuring made-up enemies and words whose definitions they get to change at will. They shouldn’t be allowed to do so without fierce, truthful rebuttal. When the left gets so deranged with hatred that they’re willing to look at the 1979 rise of Ayatollah Khomeini with some amount of fondness, they’ve gone miles and miles too far.
And now, a word from Andrew Schaeffer Friedersdorf of the Daily Atlantic HuffPo Monthly Beast.

Last time I checked, it was conservatives who were implicitly stating that Jews controlled Obama, the Democratic Party and "The Left" in general. i.e. the evil, smirking liberal Jew George Soros.
No seriously liberal outlets ever claimed America was run by "a cabal of Jews". Nice try. America WAS run by a cabal of dumb fucking Christians.
But that's over now. And they've been reduced to projecting anti-semitism on their political opponents from obscure internet blogs.
Ah, how times change.
Tom, you are factually incorrect (see Sullivan, Andrew).
DAVID LETTERMAN'S HATE, ETC. !
David Letterman's hate is as old as some ancient Hebrew prophets.
Speaking of anti-Semitism, it's Jerry Falwell and other fundy leaders who've gleefully predicted that in the future EVERY nation will be against Israel (an international first?) and that TWO-THIRDS of all Jews will be killed, right?
Wrong! It's the ancient Hebrew prophet Zechariah who predicted all this in the 13th and 14th chapters of his book! The last prophet, Malachi, explains the reason for this future Holocaust that'll outdo even Hitler's by stating that "Judah hath dealt treacherously" and "the Lord will cut off the man that doeth this" and asks "Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?"
Haven't evangelicals generally been the best friends of Israel and persons perceived to be Jewish? Then please explain the recent filthy, hate-filled, back-stabbing tirades by David Letterman (and Sandra Bernhard and Kathy Griffin) against a leading evangelical named Sarah Palin, and explain why most Jewish leaders have seemingly condoned Palin's continuing "crucifixion"!
While David, Sandra, and Kathy are tragically turning comedy into tragedy, they are also helping to speed up and fulfill the Final Holocaust a la Zechariah and Malachi, thus helping to make the Bible even more believable!
