Thread Name: BS: Proof that Bush lied
Subject: RE: BS: Proof that Bush lied
Amos makes derisive remarks about who people voted for but gets defensive when asked who he voted for.

Amos does not mind making connections between Bush and Enron or Exxon or PNAC etc. in order to prove his attacks but when others make those same associations to charactarize someone like Clark or ANSWER, he goes berserk.

Better re read the definition of Demagoguery Amos and apply it to yourself:

Demagoguery, from Greek demos, "people", and agogos, "leading" refers to a political strategy for obtaining and gaining political power by appealing to the popular prejudices, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalistic or populist themes.

The term is commonly used as a political pejorative: political opponents are described as "demagogues", while politicians approved of are "men of the people", or "statesmen".
