Which is worse – to put a dog on the roof of a fast-moving car or to eat dog-meat as food?…

Thus, the “larger meaning” supposedly exposed by the dog-on-the-roof story: Romney is a heartless technocrat, ready to conduct brutal experiments on unsuspecting people or beasts and who only laughs if the experiment does not go well for the subject/victim.

And thus too the “larger meaning” seen by partisans inside the Obama-eats-dog story: Obama is an alien, raised in alienation from basic American values, and protected by a complicit news media that refuses to report embarrassing facts about him – like dog-eating.
