demagog

One who uses popular biases and other aspects of cultural programming to elicit a "knee-jerk reaction" from a crowd or audience, avoiding the dispassionate examination of the facts related to some issue, in order to ascend to leadership.

Also demagogue, from the Greek demos 'people' + aggos 'leading'

In ancient Greece, one of the common purposes of logical argument was to deflate the rhetoric of a demagogue.

Despite the harmful divisions created, G.W. Bush chose to act as a demagogue rather than lose re-election.

Demanding damsel in distress

The attractive woman at work who plays the coquette and victim when it suits her but also demands respect and advancement. Coworkers either hate her or swoon over her. No one is neutral in their opinions of her.

"Can you believe that Stacey charged her supervisor with harassment? He just asked her to do her job."

"Yeah and now she got a promotion on top of it!"

"She's a demanding damsel in distress."

demablogger

A portmanteau of demagogue and blogger, it is a person who uses a blog as a soapbox from which to preach to the unwashed masses and the rest of the world.

Compare to pedablogger, who uses their blog to educate rather than to orate.

Pete with his 'rant of the day' is one of the most entertaining demabloggers I know.
