Dog Whistles

I have noted before how the swamis on the left attempt to slime their opponents, not by quoting them directly but by surmising what they are really thinking ... in other words, mind reading ... see: Mind Readers. This demagoguery is difficult to defuse because it all boils down to offense versus defense: the accusers are on the offense ... and the accused have no way of proving what was on their minds.

Another way of reforming this same assault is to accuse a conservative of issuing a dog whistle. “I know you said A, but you meant B ... and the people who hear you [he dogs] will know what you really meant.” (A perfect example is how Trump’s Charlottesville comment was twisted.) The purpose of this even more nuanced accusation turns out again to be putting the accused on the defense ... it is very difficult to prove what your audience is going to understand what you said.

But interestingly, it is now also the accuser who is now sending the secret message to liberal canine listeners. Putting it another way, those Democrats who accuse anyone on the right of using a dog whistle are, in fact, using dog whistles themselves.

Here’s a perfect example:

"I'm a Baaaad Boy ..."

Abbott and Costello

Very few readers of this blog were probably alive when Lou Costello frequently mewled this on-screen apology after being caught by his partner, Bud Abbott, with his proverbial hand in the cookie jar. I guess Trump supporters are also expected by Hellery Clinton to mimic this humiliating retreat after she has accused them of xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia and many other "dog whistle" phobias ... see: Breitbart Article.

In typical Democrat play-book fear-mongering fashion, Hellery is once again trying to assemble all the hyphenated voting blocs in America into one diverse melange to prevail over generally open-minded conservatives. And she just might do this ... if we let her ... by admitting to or performing any of her phony phobic rhetoric.

Not me coach!
