It bugs liberals no end that "liberal" has become a dirty word and they can't use it when running for office. Bugs them even more that conservatives have no problem calling themselves "conservatives." They are attempting to rectify that disparity in nomenclature by calling all conservatives "neocons" and demoninzing the word.

Exactly so and some very misguided here are helping them.

I disagree, I believe that it is liberals who realize that liberal is a dirty word that hide behind the neo-con label.

It is leftists that now soft pedal themselves as liberals or "left-of center". Funny, I never hear the term right-of-center.
