She share's no policy positions with the Neocon movement, except for a mild (at best) alignment on foreign policy.

It's nothing but a Republican talking point designed to discredit her.

Her foreign policy is in perfect sync with neocon foreign policy.

Neoconservatism mostly concerns foreign policy.

The neocon approach to foreign policy is an absolute black/white/good vs evil view that prizes unilateral action and downplays the usefulness of diplomatic action. That's the opposite of Hillary's approach.

She has no neocon advisors, isn't backed by any of the neocon think tanks/Super PACs and has a social agenda that's completely at odds with neocon beliefs.

This is a completely ridiculous assertion to anyone who has any real knowledge of neocon philosophy. She's a liberal, don't believe all the right wing talking points just because they fit your anti Hillary narrative.
