Joe Klein unleashed the wrath of Lieberman and fellow Jewish neocons. TPM reviews.
A Klein Quote cited in the article shows that Joe's about had it with even the limited need for politesse that being a columnist demands as he responds to charges that his anti-neocon stance is also anti-semitic:
I find your "outrage" particularly galling because the people you defend are constantly spewing canards against those who favor talking to the Palestinians, or who don't favor witless bellicosity when it comes to Iran. Their campaign of defamation has cost people jobs, damaged reputations and careers. I am very tired of having reasonable people accused of being "soft on terrorism" or "unpatriotic" or favoring "surrender"--Joe Lieberman's favorite--by Jewish neoconservatives who seem to have a neurotic need to prove their toughness. They, and you, should know that most Jews disagree with their politics and many Jews are disgusted with their behavior. They, and you, should know that the tendency to "cry wolf" about antisemitism does real harm to the Jewish community--indeed, in this case, it is laughable.
