Now get this: Pence attacks President Obama for "name calling"

[book_worm]

“I don’t think name calling has any place in public life, and I thought that was unfortunate that the president of the United States would use a term like that, let alone laced into a sentence like that.”

— Gov. Mike Pence, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, objecting to President Obama calling Donald Trump a “demagogue."

I don't think President Obama called Trump any names at all--he just told the truth and the Republicans think it's calling names.

Demagogue: a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.

1. Lol

Does Pence listen to his running mate ?

[Skinner]

2. What a clown. (nt)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Obama didn't call Trump a demagogue. He just mentioned "homegrown demagogues"

in his speech at the DNC. If Pence assumed he was referring to Trump... what's that old saying... If you throw rocks into a pig pen, the one that squeals is the one you hit.

9. Well put.

[Renew Deal]

12. lol

[True Dough]

13. That's rich

Those GOP dim bulbs are oblivious to their own faults, but excel at pointing fingers.

[Orsino]

14. The corrupt fuckhead makes a good point.

If we can just blurt out anytime that their ignorant, buffoonish nominee and spineless running mate are complete dirtbags, the general public might overhear. I'll give you exactly four months to cut it out.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. You know what they say, Mike, about 'assume': it makes an ass out of

you and me. Obama didn't call Trump a demagogue. You assumed he meant to Trump because you know Dominic's a demagogue.

[lillypaddle]

17. Dumb and dumber ...

SMDH

[oberliner]

18. Obama never called Trump any name

So Pence is just lying.

Here is the demagogue excerpt:

That’s why anyone who threatens our values, whether fascists or communists or jihadists or homegrown demagogues, will always fail in the end.
