"(Republicans) actually, with a straight face, say that the great recession was caused by too much regulation on Wall Street. They actually say that," Clinton said. “Then she launched into her story. "One of my favorite political ads of all time was a radio ad in rural Arkansas where the announcer said, 'Wouldn't it be great if somebody running for office said something, we could have an immediate reaction to whether it was true or not. Well, we have trained this dog. Well, the dog, if it is not true, he is going to bark,'" Clinton said. "And the dog was barking on the radio and so people were barking at each other for days after that." "I want to figure out how we can do that with Republicans. We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say these things like, 'Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation,' arh, arh, arh, arh," Clinton said, letting out a barking noise that caused the audience to laugh and some people to mimic her. "I think," Clinton concluded, "we could cut right through a lot of their claims."That Clinton would remember the sound of a barking dog in a radio ad from almost 30 years ago when her husband was running for office in Arkansas underscores the lie: “I don’t recall” she used repeatedly during the congressional investigation into the role she played in the Benghazi scandal. Hurling the charge “LIAR!” seems to be a big part of Election 2016 in both political camps. But the sound of barking coming from Republican presidential hopefuls, where Big Dog Donald Trump keeps the fur flying, sounds more like “YIP!” “YIP!” as one dog bites into the rump of another. Meanwhile, back-biting candidates seeking Republican nomination should learn how to start playing nice with each other before barking mad Clinton gets to claim the presidency.
