Mister Proud Republican, I am a conservative myself. And I heard Rush Limbaugh say "... By the way ladies and gentleman, NeoCon is just another word for Jew..."
So please don't call me a liar.

What Rush means by that is that it is used as a Code Word for Jew, used usually by Leftards who don't want their anti-Semitism to be too obvious, or by old school so called right wingers for the same reasons (e.g. - Pat Buchanan, who's morphed into a top-down, dirigiste isolationist. In other words he's a pre-WWII democrat.).

No a neocon is not another name for a Jew. It is a name for new conservatives, a political group. The name neocon is not synonymous with the word Jew. A neocon can belong to any religion.
I am posting a link below to David Brooks public apology for equating the two words as being synonymous with each other.

No. The neo-con movement was started by a group of mostly Jewish students (this does not in any way imply all neo-cons are Jews or that all Jews are neo-cons) in the 1960's who wanted a world government based on the Soviet model, until they realized that the Soviets were virulently anti-Semitic and openly hostile to the goals of Zionism.
After the Watergate fiasco, they found a home in a gutted Republican party and co-opted the label "Conservative" to lend credibility to their movement. Still, their views and goals have not changed.

Interesting. Because if you take all the rants about 'neocons' from the Democrats and liberals, replace it with 'Jews', then the rhetoric is eerily similar to the terrorists' language or 1930's Germany.

Quite a few jews are also neocons. Wolfowitz, Perle, Krauthammer, Kristol, Abrams, etc....

Can you be more specific redreverser?
By the way, Im voting for Lynn Swan in Pennsylvania.
I also think "neocon" is the most ridiculous term I have ever heard.

Don't know whether he said that, and whether, if he did, you are taking it out of the context in which it was said...
But, whatever, I don't consider it my job to defend Rush...
And, no, of course its not true... I think that in the US, the liberal party has more than its fair share of the Jewish population...

No. But you're one of the reasons that "conservative" is a synonym for "bigot".
Limbaugh, too.

There is no serious reason to believe everything you hear. There is no synonymy between those two words.

No, but neo-cons tend to support Israel, though are usually Christian Xionists.
