barking

There is something about Hillary Clinton's barking that I cannot let go.


This misses the whole point to favor a smaller jape. It avoids the adult problem to jibe as schoolboy instead. 

It does what liberals do, pick out the single odd detail and hammer away endlessly mindlessly humorlessly while ignoring its more damaging context.

Now you can download for free a Hillary barking ringtone. But who would want that on their  phone? Nobody. It's not even funny. The page you get that ringtone also offers Hillary cackling ringtone, but honestly, who could tolerate that? Nobody. 

Whatever she was barking at is lost to the barking and whatever she is cackling about is lost to the cackling. All Republican partisans hear is Hillary barking and Hillary cackling. 

In the speech where Hillary does her barking she says that she wishes there was a "truth detector" dog that could follow Republicans around and alert to all the endless lies that Republicans always go around telling that she's tired of hearing. Her example is Republicans say that small business are held back because of excessive government regulation bark bark bark yip yip yip. 

She'll have the dogs yip when Republicans are lying. As they are speaking. She will have yipping dogs drown out Republican voices, she would prefer to refuse conservative opinion.  

Believe me, Woman, the sentiment is returned in full.

During the Madison protests, it is Althouse who provided this important insight to me that chanting is intended to drown out discussion. 

Althouse suffered the vuvuzela blast directly into her ear. 

That is what Hillary wishes. 

And now Republicans dismiss all of that and reduce Hillary to the noise itself. Now Hillary is the noise that does the barking. 

That's okay, Hillary, you have  your barking dogs to drown out discussion as they already do. And the rest of us have your voice as noise in return. You speak, we turn up you own barking noise and drown you out. It's all you are to us. Your own yips and lapdog barks used to drown out others now drown out you.

(I don't know a single conservative who wouldn't have chosen a hunting dog, hound dog, pointer, retriever, or working sheepdog or guard dog or sled dog, but not a yip yapping lap dog. Argh. The choice of dog sound is even offensive.)

And that's where we are. For myself I use remote to shut them up. No need for barking or any noise, no chanting nor vuvuzelas, just *click* and they're gone. 

In real life, Hillary, we'll improve our discussions. Something louder than your perverse truth yips.  You speak and say something mean pinched and insanely stupid like Republicans complaining about regulatory state out of control, literally out of control, and we set off rape sirens to drown you out. 


At that price I'll take a dozen. 

Imagine it. A Democrat operative begins speaking and I toss out a handful of rape sirens and evacuate the area.

Is this suggesting that she's moving in with Bill?

You'd think this would be a clear sign to lefties that Hillary is desperate and possibly mentally unbalanced. But this is the modern left. They follow orders. They'll bark like a dog or squeal like a pig. That scene in Deliverance is familiar territory to these rubes. If she told them to "fetch," they'd start running around looking for something to bring back to big mama. Engage in substantive discussion? Hell, no. They're not equipped intellectually for that. This is business as usual.

I've had a number of discussions with lefty friends recently re: Trump. They're all "he's stupid" and "like Hitler" and "dump Trump," and other words to that effect. And I ask who are you trying to convince, who are you persuading with this, what good comes of making these noises? All it does is make me like Trump which is quite an accomplishment.
Bottom line: They feel better about themselves as individuals signalling group superiority. E pluribus fuckhate.

"Althouse suffered the vuvuzela blast directly into her ear. "

Also cowbells. Cowbells seemed to be the free speech drowning tool of choice for the over-50 Madison protester set. Chanting "shame shame shame" or "liAR liAR liAR" were also go-to's.

Speaking of "liar liar liar," I'm reminded of The Trump at the last Republican debate.

Meade said...

More cowbells.

There are some dogs that are remarkably quiet. I've never heard a standard poodle - not those little decorative poodles - bark.

Meade gets in his ritualistic beautiful person dig at Trump. God it's going to be such a pleasure to bury this schmendrik come November.

Amartel said...

the only acceptable cowbell

Meade said...

Is there any real difference between The Trump and The Bern? Apparently, beautiful person Trump doesn't think so:

I'm sure quite a few are alarmed. I read a while back that a sign of senility can be inappropriate emotional responses, e.g., laughing when you hear a relative has broken an arm. I'm guessing that a piece of this sign is that even if you normally would want to laugh at this particular relative's misfortune, your social filters would prevent you.

" I read a while back that a sign of senility can be inappropriate emotional responses, e.g., laughing when you hear a relative has broken an arm."

Or falling in love with a man when he makes a fool of himself.

On the dream interpretation side of things:

Dreaming of a vicious dog, denotes enemies and unalterable misfortune...If the dog is barking ferociously, then it represents your habit of making demands on people and controlling situations around you.

To hear barking in your dream, symbolizes your attitude towards the others especially when you are talking to them. It might be that when you have a conversation you are raising your voice up or giving orders to them instead of talking calm and nicely. Consider that the dream also could show how irritating and annoying you are to the others. ,

In addition to senility, inappropriate social responses can also be a sign of head injury.

Has there been a clear explanation as to why the prism glasses are being worn again?

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I had a dog dream the other night. One of my dogs was hit by a car and mangled badly and just suffering unable to move. A hunter comes along with a rifle, and I beg him to please shoot her to put her out of her misery. He reluctantly shoots her, but not in the head. She yelps, lifts her head and turns to me and says: "Please, not yet. Just give me 30 minutes." Then I wake up.

Who the hell needs a dream like that?

MamaM said...

Sometimes binders full of women qualified for a job are just that, whether one is Mitt Romney or Bill Clinton.

Steg said...

Mr. Bags, I'm sorry I must crack a joke at your sad dream...

That's your subconscious getting ready to pull the lever for trump! "not yet, just let me argue for three more months before I relinquish my fate..."

bagoh20 said...

I can see that, Steg, but unlike the Trumpers, I'm not ready to kill that which I love just because its suffering makes me feel bad. I still believe she's can survive, and is better off getting smart medical care than a shot in the head.

deborah said...

What a horrid dream. It would haunt me all day. It doesn't strike me as Trump related, but if it is, what is represented by the car, the dog, the hunter?

There's one theory of dream analysis that says all elements of the dream represent the dreamer. Most puzzling for me, why 30 minutes? Why not five, or one hour?
