I'm not sure criticizing someone as a "fascist and quasi-dictator" for holding a campaign rally for a democratic election makes much sense, TB.

I wouldn't call him either of those things, no. Although Lief criticising someone for loosely throwing around "fascist" as a derogatory epithet is the height of irony.

He's not interfering with an election outside his country; he's campaigning for the 2015 Turkish general election.

Sure, but the president not being able to campaign in an election seems, to me, to be a profoundly silly law, so who cares?
