The dog cage, Romney supporters say, had a windshield or something.The left has had a field day with this. But then the Romney campaign struck back. Barack Obama is a dog eater. Well, he was as a boy. The weed and cocaine tries were in high school and college. Eating dog was in his youth. All are documented in his autobiography, Dreams of my Father.This caused a stir on twitter with conservatives participating in a twitter hashtag game: #ObamaDogRecipes. My personal contributions were Escar-Bo and Bo Mein. I was pretty fond of Hound Cake and German Shepard Pie too.You&#8217;d think we&#8217;d have dealt with all of this on both sides four years ago, but alas the media didn&#8217;t really want to aggressively vet Barack Obama in 2008 and Mitt Romney didn&#8217;t make it past March.Perhaps there is a war on dogs. One thing I am certain of is that there is a war on levity.]]>Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:46:00 -0400<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2012/04/18/war-on-dogs-n42897
