The phrase was associated with Theodore Roosevelt. ( Bully!) had a different connotation in those days. It could even mean ( Great stuff, or way to go) did not always mean intimidation or violence. I have heard the phrase in recent years. It refers to politicians sounding off ( usually with a captive audience) on social problems that in the final analysis have little to do with politicsl. As pulpit has a religious connotation, it is somewhat a contradiction as we have separation of Church and state.
