You hit the nail on the head when you said the neocons just don't like what they've heard because its not what they want to hear or believe. Facts and truth be damned.

Perhaps one of the conservative think tanks that are funding astroturf commenters has identified David Pakman as a particular threat because he appeals to an up-and-coming, youthful demographic. This would be analogous to how the tobacco companies will often target children because they are "the next generation of smokers."
