• It is true that America has a paranoid streak in its politics, and demagogues come along from time to time to feed on anger and resentment.
• A demagogue must be neither an educated nor an honest man; he has to be an ignoramus and a rogue.
• If the majority of our fellow-citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue.
• I never demagogued on our serious questions and stood for civil liberties.
• On the subject of foreign aid, although it is a relatively unimportant economic category, it is an area of expenditure that has frequently been demagogued and has been a favorite target of politicians during tough times in the domestic economy.
• Talk to anyone with half a brain (and at least half a heart) and they will tell you, regardless of their position, that this is an issue to be weighed, not demagogued.
