I'm hearing the word "neoconservative" thrown around a lot lately, particularly as an epithet hurled from the right. The few conservatives who oppose a war with Iraq are derisively using this term almost constantly now, claiming that the possible war is only being promoted by "neoconservatives."

Jonah Golberg thinks that "neoconservative" is mainly serving as a euphemism or code word for "Jewish conservatives." Judging by the disturbing contexts in which I've been seeing this word used, I'm starting to think he might be onto something.
