Neo cons have adopted a posture of victimization which they place on their sleeves in an attempt to place themselves in sympathy with all the groups they have worked so dilligently in their corporate mode to oppress and victimize. They figure culpability will vanish, if they can just remind everyone how they suffer with all the slings and arrows of those that hate them so.

The point they collectively miss, is the liberals they fear so don't hate them. A liberal might well find neo-cons laughable, pathetic, or just plane silly but, by and large, are willing to let them have their say and hoist themselves on their own petard. In fact, liberals go out of their way to allow the corporate lacky crowd to indicte themselves. Sorta like the ACLU defending the right of the KKK to march in Skokie.

When SADAI and other neo cons portray themselves as victims that is the closest they ever get to feeling they are actually a part of humanity, it is the only form of Republican empathy.
