Maybe the interest that some on the left and in the media (but, I repeat myself) take in Neocons qualifies…...
Here is John Podhoretz reacting to Joe Klein’s column about Chas Freeman’s (Ambassador from Saudi Arabia) resignation, only the most recent example of the phenomenon under scrutiny:
As I say, truly astounding. Barack Obama, the anti-neocon, wins 66 million votes and 53 percent. Members of his party control the House of Representatives by a 50 vote margin and are nearly filibuster-proof in the Senate. And still a small cabal of people who — get this! — have the nerve to write articles and blog items quoting the words of the man appointed to head the National Intelligence Council on matters as various as the wonders of the Saudis, the glories of the suppressors of Tienanmen, and the responsibility of the United States for 9/11! See us work our kabbalistic Yiddische magic on the hapless liberals who only think they are in control in Washington!
