MSNBC’s Wagner: Obama No Dictator . . . Compared to Kim Jong Un

MSNBC's Wagner: Obama No Dictator . . . Compared to Kim Jong Un (NewsBusters)

Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations: Alex Wagner has demonstrated that Barack Obama is no kind of emperor or dictator . . . compared to Kim Jong Un, the brutal ruler of perhaps the world's worst regime, North Korea. Wagner was riffing off the news that Kim has banned North Korean parents from naming their children Kim Jong Un and ordered those already bearing the name to change it.  After describing other elements of Kim's cult of personality, Wagner concluded: "to all the detractors who compare our American president to an emperor and a dictator, this is what a dictatorship actually looks like. And to the 169 babies born between 2007 and 2011 named Barack: you can keep your name."
