It is akin to just flat out calling someone a racist. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 29/10/2018 05:05:29 PM

I truly despise it. I have a dog whistle right here. Go ahead, blow on it. I assure you no one will hear.

Something that is hard to defend against and intended solely to shut down the speech of other people with whom the (leftist) utterer of the phrase disagrees. Speak out about some policy you wish to advance? Ha! That's a dogwhistle to racists/misogynists/homophobes and you can't prove otherwise!

"I'll blow whomever I want, whenever I want, as long as I can still breathe and kneel."
