	Xibalba, "Demagoguery Conduct Manual"
		Burgesses are members of the demagoguery, and as such all references to the duties of demagogues will also include the burgesses.
		As a member of the demagoguery it is your obligation to be a role model citizen and perform all your duties in a proficient manner.
		Upon determination of misconduct a member of the demagoguery will be put on probation from a demagogues duties until such time as their term of office has expired.

	“Democracy, Demagoguery, and Critical Rhetoric,” by Patricia Roberts-Miller \| KBJournal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		To rekindle rhetorical interest in demagoguery, she proposes the following definition: “Demagoguery is polarizing propaganda that motivates members of an ingroup to hate and scapegoat some outgroup(s), largely by promising certainty, stability, and what Erich Fromm famously called ‘an escape from freedom’” (462).
		Noting that demagoguery can be “unemotional, elite, and intellectual,” Roberts-Miller makes a significant contribution to rhetorical theory by revitalizing the term and offering a definition of demagoguery that refuses to “demonize emotionalism, populism, or anti-intellectualism” (471).
		In so doing, she issues an important invitation for further theorizing about demagoguery and its implications for social movement criticism, as well as for the development of a critical rhetoric that allows the critic to stage an intervention in public deliberation.

	What Qualifies as Demagoguery?
		Surprisingly few attempts have been made at defining the term “demagoguery” with much precision, despite its frequent use as a negative epithet by politicians, their critics, historians, political sociologists and the like.
		A more useful definition of demagoguery arises from the interdisciplinary application of rhetorical studies, which here takes on the form of logical-fallacy analysis, which itself reduces to two inseparably linked constituents: simplicity of message content and its wholly unilateral point-of-view presentation.
		And it is this rhetorical quality (in addition to scapegoatism, addressed shortly) that is consistently identifiable in the history of American demagoguery and permits an unconditional point of reference for any given demagogic practitioner.

	Opinion: Byrd's demagoguery
		Somewhere in the House, one would like to think, are members of Byrd's own Republican Party who will call him to account as Margaret Chase Smith of Maine and George Aiken of Vermont did to McCarthy a half-century ago.
		In this instance, the House Republicans, having elected Byrd to be their speaker, are responsible for his demagoguery.
		And they will bear the blame if Byrd makes it impossible for the Legislature to consider even modest tax increases to offset some of the intolerable contingencies in the governor's budget.

		Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton, seized on the issue as an opportunity to challenge perceived Republican domination of the ”national security” issue, and Republicans sought to burnish their national security credentials while distancing themselves from an unpopular, lame-duck president.
		By the time President George W. Bush, other administration officials, Generals Tommy Franks and John Abizaid, and widespread press editorials and commentary, responded to strongly defend the deal, it was too late.
		Public ignorance and prejudices already had been inflamed by congressional and conservative talk-show demagoguery, as well as by other neocons with their own agenda.

		There are many enemies who disguised as democrats, wielding the weapon of demagoguery, cause extreme damage to the essential values of representative democracy, to serious democracy, real democracy albeit with human imperfections.
		Those who inspired in poisoned and poisoning demagoguery perpetrate serious abuses while in power or in the quest for it, are not only enemies of the democratic system but also of social peace and political stability, in whatever sensible way the situation be considered.
		It is not generosity but a profoundly negative lie that embitters consciences and destroys or maims the possibilities for a civilized democratic life.

		It's rank demagoguery: passing a bill that says whatever the Administration does is good, and anyone who raises questions about it is a friend of terrorists.

		You'd never guess from the Democratic hysteria that President Bush's plan to "progressively index" Social Security is an idea we liberals may one day want to embrace.
