Tip of the Iceberg

I feel like, of all the various repulsive things Glenn Beck has said, focusing on whether he actually held George Washington's inaugural address is kind of small potatoes.

Agreed, as far as the twisted truths a demagog such as Beck is prone to, this isn't a show stopper by any means.

Why doesn't my on line dictionary recognize the term "demagog"?

I think the word you are looking for is "demagogue," though one would hope "demagog" enters the lexicon at some point. I think it would make a right proper name for a Dungeons & Dragons creature.

Interestingly, an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times speaks rather glowingly of Beck, most particularly with reference to the influence that Dr. King’s niece, Alveda, has had on Beck.

I might note: if what this writer indicates is so, pretty much the entire interpretation by David of the Beck and Palin march is simply wrong.
