That having been said... I'm not sure most Joe Six-Packs would have picked up on it in this case because it went by pretty fast... and a lot of majority-Christian middle America really does NOT understand the holocaust, so they'd have to both get the significance of "Never Again" in that sense (which they just haven't been very exposed to), AND also have their hokey Jews as moneylenders bullshit activated, and that's kinda a lot of stuff for them to have taken in all at once.

So, um, I'm saying it's possible in theory. I'm also saying that in practice I don't think it was successful dog-whistling. Cuz i don't think Palin is actually capable of successful dog-whistling, she doesn't have the finesse.
