What's especially interesting to me is an article I read today on Talking Points Memo which states that the conservatives are equating neocon to mean conservative jewish people. I had no freaking idea that this was going on, but apparently, when you criticize neocons, yuo are "anti-semitic," according to some of these sources. Totally absurd notion.
