dog whistle com

donald trump is making hiscase to new york voters, giving speeches which consist as theyusually do of long portions that attack people he's not evenrunning against, and mitt romney made a few appearances in hisspeech as he always does. but in attacking him, look at the waydonald trump chose to do it. bear in mind that he is in newyork when he delivers these remarks. we have had obama far toolong. the last election should have been won, except romneychoked like a dog. he choked. he

went, i can't breathe. i can'tbreathe, he said. nothing. you don't think so? so theclaim that is being made, and i will make, as i've said beforethe showm that i've seen people talk about people chokinghundreds of times over the course of my life. kobe choked,everybody chokes. not last night, he did well. they saythat, they are not so committed to the metaphor that they talkabout not being able to breathe. i have never seen that happen.and in new york, where eric

garner was choked to death bythe police, and famously had the last words i can't breathe, idon't understand what would lead donald trump to think that in acompletely underrated context, making fun of that is a goodidea, but i can't imagine why anyone would say that for anyother reason in new york. i am with you, john. really? i thought i would beone out of three. i'm with you. whenever you saysomeone choked, you're like -- you don't say i can't breathe.and since this guy has a history

of dog whistles and raciststatements, it makes me think he did it in a way that he can go,no, i didn't mean anything by it. when he definitely did meansomething by it. it almost seems too smart forhim, to know that some of the extremely racist followers hehas in new york would recognize that reference and think it wasfunny. there is also -- i will give a small chance that it isas random as it seems, and the only reason i would say thatis because he uses the expression choked like a dog,and i have no idea what that

means. i have had dogsmost of my life, and when i think of a dog i don't thinkof them choking. i don't understand what that is about.maybe he is just being random, but it seems raciallyinsensitive. he's not going to care, of course, his supporterswon't care, but i would show a little more tact, consideringthat as quick as they are to label everyone killed by thepolice as thugs, this guy was choked out in broaddaylight, he did not need to die, it seems like a step toofar for comfort.

for selling loosies on thestreet. perhaps the least consequentialcrime i can imagine.
