A couple of years ago, these same idiots were calling Bush Neocons 'Neojacobins'. Still, it's good to see the word 'Jacobin' in use, even if it is by maniacs...I suppose they think communism is a busted flush so have to dig around for an older term of abuse for the left (and I don't think Obama is very 'left', sadly). Last week the Guardian newspaper were calling Sarkozy 'Robespierre' for his thinly veiled (pardon the bad pun) response attack on Obama's thinkly veiled attack on French 'laicité', which presumably makes Obama Ancien Regime.
