This is suppoesed to be "provocative" in the sense that neocons do when they think by using a bigoted turn of phrase they're transgressing the hegemony of PC and being fresh and bold. It was annoying when Hilton Kramer and the gang did it in the 80s. It's really a crock in 2003. A very offensive crock too.

Must dig out some of Hitch's rants about David Horowitz and the Second Thoughts moment. You guys are belated neocons, as Harold Bloom might say. Do you have a Trot past?
