So, who's using the "dog whistle" racist "codes"?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

The media has been given their marching orders. If I recall from WHI.....this was going to be the exact play. Make EVERYTHING out to be about race.

[Red Badger]

They know their audience...........

[Larry Lucido]

“Lashes” Obama? Sounds racist!

[txrefugee]

LOL...how stupid of the dino-msm to have headlines like that when anyone who saw Romney’s very low-key, professional presentation knows there was no “lashing” involved.

Perhaps the headline was written yesterday morning before the writer knocked off for the Labor Day holiday.

After the DNC convention will the Compost headline read, “Obama seizes moment, pops a cap in Romney” ??

[Pecos]

I suspect it was written the day the WaPo editorial board locked up their brains on this issue and threw away the key. You know, back in 2008.

[Frank_2001]

Well just be glad the headline didn’t read, “Romney takes Obama to the woodshed”!/s;)

[VeniVidiVici]

LOL! That’s not a racist code. The idiots at the Washington Post have gone full-bore for Barack Hussein Obama.

[commonguymd]

gone full bore is an understatement. Always in the “tank”.

Thank you for that correction — copy/paste error on my part. Well, not the copy/paste — that OBVIOUSLY worked — but the whole “edit it afterward to show the difference” part.

What is the difference between a “dog whistle” and a “code word?”

[kevkrom]

What is the difference between a “dog whistle” and a “code word?”

Honestly, I have no clue, except that we in the rank and file are supposedly attuned to both of them, but we can't figure out what they are without the liberal press pointing them out.

To all -- please circulate this as widely as you can. I want this to be the WP's own "macaca moment".

Stay focused! Keep track of the important issues...race ain't one! (Flashback: Obama Admits He Cut Medicare)

Remember the Obama pronouncements:

Tonight I say to the American People…To Democrats and Republicans, and Independents ENOUGH

It is time for us to CHANGE AMERICA
2008 Democratic Convention

People of Berlin and People of the world…we are heirs to the struggle for freedom – let us remember this history let us answer our destiny and remake the world once again.
Senator Barack Obama…Berlin 2008

George Will then pointed out <"Modern Berlin rose from rubble that was the result of the last attempt at remaking the world”
