On the matter of those racist dog whistles all these middle-age white liberals keep hearing, the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto put it very well: “The thing we adore about these dog-whistle kerfuffles is that the people who react to the whistle always assume it’s intended for somebody else,” he wrote. “The whole point of the metaphor is that if you can hear the whistle, you’re the dog.” And a very rare breed at that. What frequency does a Mitch McConnell speech have to be ringing inside your head for even the most racially obsessed Caucasian NBC anchorman to hear the words “PGA tour” as “deep-rooted white insecurities about black male sexuality”? That’s way beyond dog-whistling, and somewhere between barking mad and frothing rabid.

Oh yes they did. That is an unadulterated (except rotation) picture I took personally of the print edition copy in my office’s lunchroom. The online edition has changed it to “rips Obama”.

They have to accuse us of using racial code words because they are using racial code words.

Spread it far and wide. I want this to be the Post’s own personal “macaca moment”.

Classic Steyn!
“That’s way beyond dog-whistling, and somewhere between barking mad and frothing rabid.”
Perfectly describes the LSM over the last few days.

Good post! I see a play on your tagline: “When you’re a racist, everything sounds like a dog whistle.”

-——”Chicago” as a racist code word.-——
I may be guilty of treasonous posting but he got it wrong. The correct code is “Chicago Amish”

Amazing how it’s always the liberals who are able to hear and interpret the so-called “racist dog whistles”.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
And when the only idea you have is an obsession with race,
everything looks and sounds like racism.
