The point of the dog whistle metaphor is that, if you can hear it, you're the dog

Psst! Hear it, Fritz? Their master calls!

NBC “security consultants” explains that Trump keeping flags at half-mast until August 8 is a “silent dog whistle” for white racists. Eighth letter of alphabet is “H”, and that means Heil Hitler. 8/8 — get it? Get it?

This moron is actually paid and put on the air by NBC.

"The numbers 88 are very significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movement. Why? Because the letter ‘H’ is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and to them the numbers 8-8 together stand for ‘Heil Hitler.’ So we’re going to be raising the flag back up at dusk on 8/8."

"No one is thinking about this," he added. [No one else, anyway —ED]

[Brian] Williams was wowed by this analysis.

"I know you’re keeping your options open there, Frank, but as chilling as that is to hear, you’re saying it’s possible that someone who knows better is authoring or editing the words that show up and are read verbatim, or are supposed to be read verbatim, by the president," he said.

"I'm concerned about who is writing his script and his speeches and what would fascinate me is what he's rejecting," Figliuzzi said. "So it's possible that several iterations of this speech were given to him. Someone with expertise—and believe me, the expertise exists in our intelligence community and our law enforcement community and our civilian population in how to counter radicalization. Those folks could have advised him on writing an excellent speech that would have created an obstacle on this path to violence that we're on. But he either chose to not take that advice, or he's not even willing to solicit the advice."

Figliuzzi is a frequent guest on Deadline: White House, whose host, Nicolle Wallace, had to apologize this week after saying Trump was talking about "exterminating Latinos."
