The Dog Whistle and the Scum who Hear it.

They aren't actually dogs. calling them that is an insult to decent canines the world over, but it's politically known as the "Dog Whistle" because it's a special whistle tuned to above human hearing that dogs can hear and we can't. 

The Dog Whistle is a political strategy named for the whistle described above. It's when you say something that may or may not seem like it makes much sense to the ordinary person, but that resounds well with those whom it is targeted at. The name was coined by the late Lee Atwater, the political strategist who used it to describe Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy ." When Atwater ran Reagan's own "southern strategy" they were careful to make no mention of race directly, but they made sure that Reagan would use phrases like "Cadillac driving welfare queens", and "Urban Criminal Class", would strike the white man's ear as "Yes, Reagan is one of US, he "Gets It". Donald Trump has done this, doubled in spades. Well, now his Dog Whistles have come home to roost. I'd like to congratulate Mr Trump, for being the first American politician in decades to have someone be killed because he whipped up the Alt-Reich and got them to hold a violent rally. So, congratulations, Donnie. You made it all the way to inducing someone to commit murder. You are well aware of the fact that words carry power, Donnie. You knew this could have been a result of your manipulations and you did it anyway. While I'm at it, Donnie, you should have known that this result is exactly what your good buddy Bannon wanted. Bannon wants deaths, because he's a nihilist in rational man's clothing. Your other buddy, Stephen Miller, a self-loathing Jew, also wanted this, but for different reasons. And you went for it because you just love to see other people in conflict. You couldn't help yourself, could you ? It was just too tempting.  Well, now it's cost a woman her life. You miserable bastard. You own this one, Donnie. Your mouth brought out the wingnuts, and they went over the top and killed someone. You disgust me, you lousy hate-filled cretin. Your comeuppance is waiting for you, Donnie.
