Ahhh, so you pick and choose the definitions you prefer to use?

Hell fire, I'll just stick with Merriam-Webster. Give me a sec. What you see is what you get.

Main Entry: 1dem·a·gogue
Variant(s): also dem·a·gog /'de-m&-"gäg/
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek dEmagOgos, from dEmos people (perhaps akin
to Greek daiesthai to divide) + agOgos leading,
from agein to lead -- more at TIDE, AGENT
1 : a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power
2 : a leader championing the cause of the common people in ancient times
- dem·a·gogu·ery /-"gä-g(&-)rE/ noun
- dem·a·gogy /-"gä-gE, -"gä-jE, -"gO-jE/ noun

I'll go with number 2 on his definitions.

Stop for just a second. What did you just "prove?" That you know how to use a dictionary?

You asked a question and I gave you my answer. Are you running for the tall grass, again?
