The Born Again Neo-Con

Bill Kristol praises Obama's Libya policy, and hits him with the ultimate lefty and libertarian insult (from the Daily Caller):

It’s not an endorsement Barack Obama probably expected — or wanted — but Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol gave the president high marks for his recent foreign policy gestures.

In his “You’ve come a long way, baby” post Monday night, Kristol praised Obama for his address to the American people about the action he took against Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. On Wednesday’s “Red Eye” on the Fox News Channel, Kristol took things a step further and declared Obama “a born-again neo-con.”

I remember when some crazy libertarian on Facebook thought she'd really gotten me when she declared in all caps "YOU'RE A NEO-CON!!!!". Uh, no. There's nothing "neo" about my conservatism. But putting all that aside, the term "neo-con" has been used as an insult toward conservatives by both liberals and libertarians, and Kristol employing that term with Obama is likely to be a dog whistle to a lot of antiwar groups.
