Michael, you are going overboard on this one. It's a historical lineage thing, an analytical observation, not a demonizing kind of comment. It's well known that several of the parents of some of the present generation of neocons were participants in various anti-Stalinists groups on the left in the 30s and the 40s. Trotsky, for a time, was a very sympathetic figure among them.

I've said my say in my first post and stick by it. There are two possible grounds for the use of the term, Trotksyite here, first a lineage one, second the cult like character of groups bent on ideological purity.
