Arafat Was Democratically Elected?

Daimnation noticed, via Little Green Footballs, twisted logic remarkable even by the standards of the New York Times editorial page. The Times wrote, "[Arafat] is, after all, a democratically elected leader, though the term he won in 1996 was never meant to be this long."

Responded Daimnation, "You know what that's normally called? It's called "not being a democratically elected leader.""

It's also called intellectually dishonesty.
