I learned a new term today, dog-whistle politics, can you give me examples of this both republican and democrat?

Here is the link on wikipedia.

The only examples I found are Republican, but I assume there are ones that are from the Democrats to? Not that I know of any as a Democrat, but maybe people in the right wing think the democrats do it and have examples? The term does seem to be associated with talking in code to the evangelical base of the Republican party though.

I wonder if some of our republicans or people who know a lot of people in the religious right, if they do interpret thinks as argued by the article in wikipedia.
