Either the parties have the specified feature in common or they don't. When the specified feature is "propaganda", as it was in Shafer's little tantrum, every single word you say has entirely different meaning, history, context and connotation for the creation of a totalitarian personality cult when compared to the persuasions of an elected president to the electorate that will have its chance to vote him out of office. To use the same word "propaganda" to link those two entirely different worlds with entirely different means and ends, not to contrast them, but to try to blur the differences and insinuate that Bush is fomenting a personality cult just like Kim Jong Il, is odious from start to finish. And that's what Shafer did. It's not the same "specified feature". Not even remotely close.
