Romney's Linguistic Dog Whistle, Part TwoA couple weeks ago,
I pointed out how Mitt Romney was subtlely appealing to the wing-nut GOP base through a grating grammatical error, namely
the use of the word "Democrat" as an adjective--as in "Democrat [
sic] Party."
He did it today on Sean Hannity's radio show (again). Romney was discussing
Operation Hilarity (Democrats and progressives voting in the GOP primaries for Santorum). Here's what Romney told Hannity: "Look, this is, this is the old kind of dirty tricks that you've seen in politics before and the idea of trying to drum up Democrat [
sic] voters to come in and vote against me, that's just the wrong way to go."
