It's the use of 'coded' language that resonates with a segment of the populace (usually a parties base), but not with the public at large. So it works like a dog whistle; some hear it, but most don’t. <br /><br />Regards,<br />RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-83263892026443009582012-02-25T22:02:06.045-06:002012-02-25T22:02:06.045-06:00Brian: dog whistle? damn thats good. borrowed, or ...Brian: dog whistle? damn thats good. borrowed, or did you come with that on your won?Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-2566180958231783942012-02-25T20:45:49.704-06:002012-02-25T20:45:49.704-06:00Fourth.
