I have noticed that many of the really hateful responses refer to the hate for Neocons. "I hate neocons!!!" "Fu***** Neocons, I hate all of them" etc.
I didn`t know what a Neocon was and looked it up.
It did seem to refer to Jews and people that support Israel but was vague.
David Duke, Leader of the KKK uses it enterchangeably in his hate for Jews, http://www.davidduke.com/index.php?p=350
The left-wing magazine AdBusters published a list of the "50 most influential neocons in the United States", noting that half of these were Jewish. http://canadiancoalition.com/adbusters01/
Neo Nazi`s use it world wide as Jew lover.
Many to whom the label is applied reject the label, claim it lacks a coherent definition.
If It lacks coherent definition and is used connected with hate why shouldn`t one consider it a racist slur?

I have been unable to find that this is a term conservatives gave themselves. I have found evidence that Neocons were Jewish Liberals that left the Democratic party starting in the 70`s and were dubbed Neocons by the Left.

"I have been called many names in my career -- few of them printable -- but the most mystifying has to be a "neocon." Max Boot 2002
When was this Label first coined? Why is used so hatefully today?
