In 2004 we were unified at DU against the neocons and now because we point out Russia's interests and perspective we are considered Putin admirers or RT conspirators by people who are apparently fans of Neocon policy. Here's my new term for these Neocon agenda pushers "neocon-descenders"- my definition; people who defend war while descending and condescending on DU while holding water for the new neocon revival, all the while using outdated Cold War rhetoric as ammunition for their arguments. Demonization of Russia is a prerequisite to joining the neocon-descending movement.
