Why is it that when speaking of extremists in the middle east we refer to them as well.... extremists i/e Shiite or Sunni extremists. But when referring to United Statesian political extremists we refer to them as NeoCons, as supposed to conservative extremists?

"You have leftist extremsts too."
Yes but those we know as Communists, and our view of them is as dismal as those we call extremists.

You know they are Liberal extremists believe it or not, they are called Radicals, and they are a great many more of them, but to answer your question, why does it really matter what we call them, one derogatory term is as good as another.\
By the way Neo-conservatives are not exstremists, they just adhere to a political ideology, the same as any political group, when that ideology involves killing people, then you can call them exstremists.

The Neo-cons are not admitting to blowing up buildings yet. Once they admit to it for the purpose of creating a security State we can then call them extremists.
Please don't hurt me because I voted for Bush. Kerry I think would have been worse in taking liberty being a former prosecutor.

Because I believe "neocon" is a term the people who believe in Project for the New American Century themselves prefer.

The reason for political labels is to save on words. When you say that liberals are godless, that explains everything.
