I only caught snippets of last week's Republican National Convention (RNC). Apparently, it was chock-full of racial overtones. At least according to some (all?) of the liberal media. Mark Steyn discusses this dog whistle phenomena.
Mark isn't the only one either. I hijacked the lead image fromThe Owl Blog.
An while we're on the topic of supposed hidden meanings, the US State Department's new mission is the elimination dog whistling within it's ranks. FOX News has the story on common phrases that are now branded as insensitive.
One of the problems I have writing blogs, is there is no one to hold down the fort when I'm away from my computer.
Ooops...
