Stan Goff.... Ping and Pong...what is left unsaid.

This is a very long blog at Huffington Post. He really lays out a lot of truth.

PING & PONG: you are the ball

It is well-deserved slap at the media.

First, his description of Tucker is hilarious. I related to it very well. Tucker is a fool.

Actually, I had to give up on Tucker after a fashion, too. All I can think of is slapping him when I hear him talk; and I'm trying to leave that part of me behind. He's one of those pampered racist boarding school dickheads who was told by fawning parents that because he made good scores on standardized tests he is bright... and believes it with all his heart, even though he couldn't find his ass with a ground surveillance radar. When he compared Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with Kim Il Sung, I was done... so now I watch Rachael Ray do 30-Minute Meals on the Food Channel. The food looks good; and she is smarter than Tucker by orders of magnitude.

He has several segments of what is left unsaid when Democrats say one thing and mean another. This is is about the Third Way.

What does the Democratic Party apparatus leave unsaid when they craft a phrase-for-repetition (Rove-style) like "third way"?

(1) What it leaves unsaid is that many if not most Americans did not elect Democrats out of a wish for a "third way," but the "second way" that the Democratic Party apparatus has ruled out: Bring them home now.

(2) What it leaves unsaid is that they can -- contrary to what they would have us believe (with talk of veto-proof majorities) -- cut the funding for the war and stop it.

(3) What it leaves unsaid is that they can impeach (and won't, even though there is ample and conrete evidence to do so).

(4) What it leaves unsaid is that they could force one Constitutional crisis after another, but when the Republicans themselves threaten to do this, the Democratic Party goes to ground like prairie dogs in a twister. The very basis of what this administration has gotten away with -- aside from Democrat capitulation at every turn and the able assistance of the commercial media -- is the consolidation of Executive power.

(5) What it leaves unsaid is the apparatus of the Democratic Party is trying to marginalize those within its own party who demand an immediate end to this imperial occupation.

There are more of the left unsaids at the link.

What do all of these things together leave unsaid?

What goes unsaid is that there are two parties of the dominators that play bad-cop/good-cop with all of us. One is the Ping Party, and the other is the Pong Party, and we are the ball, batted back and forth perennially. When the population just begins to become radicalized, as it is doing in the face of this criminal war that has exposed so much of the system itself, threatening to bounce off the table so to speak, the Pong Party will reach way out to the side to keep the ball in play. They will allow Matthews and Olbermann to say the things that got Donahue canned four years ago by the same network, MSNBC; and Joe Biden will come aboard as the fine Pong Party method actor he is, reflecting our frustration and our grief and our anger back to us, and make soothing noises that leave so much unsaid, and tap us back across the net.

Quite an article.
