So the Pemberton and Burlington County GOP got caught today. Take a look at a before screen shot of the Pemberton GOP website and see if anything looks out of place... 
Ah, what a tasteful municipal party message. Do you notice the creative graphic, "Obama loves America like OJ loved Nicole?" Now they can't say they just put it up there because there is a little note that the last time the page was updated was June 24, meaning this was up on their site for at least two weeks. Well Burlington County Democratic Chairman Rick Perr called them out on their blatant hate and magically, the graphic is gone... 
You'll notice now that the last update to the site was made on... July 8, aka today. Just because they take down the tasteless image does not put the dog whistle away in Burlington County. Perr listed some other instances where the whistle has been used... Gen. Preston Taylor - when he ran for Township Committee in Lumberton, the GOP used racist mailers in an effort to suggest that his election was going to turn Lumberton into Camden;Dean Buono - the GOP tried to play on his Italian last name to suggest he was associated with members of organized crime;County GOP attempts to link Burlington Democrats to "Camden" Democrats to invoke subtle images of racism." I wonder what Freeholders Fenton, Jordan and even Congressional Candidate Chris Myers will have to say about this. On second thought, I can answer my own question; probably nothing.
