Just when you think that Sean “Spicoli” Penn (a terrific actor by the way) cannot fall in your estimation any lower – you get this. There is little doubt in my mind that he is a Red and that in his case, the apple did not fall far from the tree as his father Leo Penn was Red also.
by Tim Graham
At the end of a discussion of Haiti on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, actor Sean Penn went on a rant in defense of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, suggesting prison time for American journalists: “every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it! And accept it. And this is mainstream media, who should – truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.”
This is a little strange, since a study by our Business and Media Institute of Chavez coverage from 1998 to 2006 found Chavez’s much-criticized human rights record was mentioned in only ten percent of stories, and he was described as a leftist in only 12 percent of stories. Maher shifted to Chavez and the end of the Haiti interview, asking Penn to make a case for his man Chavez:
MAHER: His image in the media is just a buffoon. You have been there. You know him. You’ve talked to him. That’s all I really know about Hugo Chavez, is what I read in the media. A dictator, took over a lot of the branches of government, wants to be president for life. What do you know that I don’t know, that I should not have such a harsh feeling about this guy?
PENN: I think that if you’re more happy with 20 percent of a population having the access to dreams, access to the feeling they have an identity and a voice. If it’s okay with the 20 percent, versus the 80 percent he gave it to, then you can criticize Hugo Chavez. You know, there are a lot of complicated issues that comes simply out of perspective. We in the United States have a difficult time putting ourselves in the shoes of what has been the history of Venezuela, the history of Latin America, and many other places.We’re very monocultural. And then we are hypnotized by the media. For example, Hugo Chavez. Who do you know here who’s gone through fourteen of the most transparent elections on the globe, and has been elected democratically, as Hugo Chavez?
Behead those who insult Chavez!
@ Doppelganger:
Behead Chavez. Problem solved.
I understand Penn is starting “Chavs for Chavez.”
That’s my skull!
Of course, “transparent” doesn’t necessarily mean “honest.” It can be crystal clear that there is massive vote fraud and intimidation, and that, too, can be “transparent.”
Hugo Chavez has taken a country which is an oil exporter and has impoverished to the point where there are now blackouts throughout the country.
By the way I will never see a Sean Penn movie.
Those “transparent elections” were endorsed by Jimmy Carter.
Tells me everything I need to know.
What else would you expect from the grandson of a full-bore Communist? Grandpa Leo was blacklisted by HUAC.

There are plenty of terrific actors waiting tables and doing lap dances in LA. I don’t give a shit about their political opinions either.

@ snork:
Wait, Jimmah Carter said those were good elections…. Hell, 25% shifts in day-of-the-election voter feelings aren’t too uncommon, are they Jimmy?
“Finally, after three hours, we offered to the still irate opposition leaders our services in resolving any of their remaining doubts before we had to leave (after two more days). Having insisted all during election day on a 20 point defeat for Chavez, their pollster (Súmate) admitted before leaving that their data now showed only a five point defeat and that quick count data were still being received. Early the next morning, they reported that these results were reversed, with 55 percent supporting Chavez, but opposition leaders still were claiming massive fraud and a victory for their side. Final voting results, including the centers with manual ballots, showed 59-41 in favor of Chavez, with his victory in 22 of the 24 states.”
Sure……
Jimmy’s “report” to the world…
Notice all the cameras catching his concern and selflessness. LOL

Why can’t Sean Penn die in a set accident? Maybe some boom/crane can fall on him and impale his commie ass. I hope it is captured on video and that video is leaked onto the internet, too.

AP: Stupak “more optimistic” on ObamaCare deal
Rep. Bart Stupak said he expects to resume talks with House leaders this week in a quest for wording that would impose no new limits on abortion rights but also would not allow use of federal money for the procedure.
“I’m more optimistic than I was a week ago,” Stupak said in an interview between meetings with constituents in his northern Michigan district. He was hosting a town hall meeting Monday night at a local high school.
“The president says he doesn’t want to expand or restrict current law (on abortion). Neither do I,” Stupak said. “That’s never been our position. So is there some language that we can agree on that hits both points — we don’t restrict, we don’t expand abortion rights? I think we can get there.”
hmmmm…..oh yeah,Demacrats LIE!

This is a much better place. I have supervised people for a long time and one of the most amazing things to me is that once in awhile someone we all thought was really ok and grounded goes right off the rails and no amount of talk or counseling can save them. It is always a surprise and a disappointment. I think this is what happened to CJ. So sad, as always.

Sean Penn is not an excellent actor. He never acts. That intensity verging on violence is is true character. He is living out Dad’s fantasies of revolutionary heroism. It’s a shame that HUAC did not do what the Soviets did to dissenters.

Not at all. I was just asking because I know lots of animals, including dogs, leave to die alone. I thought that’s what you meant when you said “slip away.” Sorry about your dog. Only a fellow dog lover knows how much a dog can mean to you.

I don’t know if I would ever describe him as an excellent actor, only because I really have no tolerance for most Hollywood folk by virtue of what they represent.
Moreover, I am not totally familiar with his body of work beyond a few films, yet I know he has quite a few.
I did love the movie, and his character in Fast Times, so i would say I could give him some credit for being decent actor, (as far as that credit will get you) but he is piece of shit as a human being on the whole.
I’ve dealt with his so many times before when I used to bounce. They usually become a little more cooperative when you grip their throat pretty tight.

Sorry to go off-topic, I can’t even think about Sean Penn. Penn is a known idiot, and he’ll always be an idiot. Why do we even care what he thinks or says? He’s a freakin commie, that’s all we need to know.
It’s the people that change that bother me.
I’m still weirded-out by what happened on the Glenn Beck program this afternoon. One year ago, Beck gave this very fair interview to Wilders. One year later Beck is agreeing with Charles Johnson and is calling Wilders a NAZI-FASCIST.
This interview is from February, 2009:
Did Beck change recently? This seems eeirly similar to the way Charles Johnson suddenly changed from a rational-intelligent human into a hideous-goon sometime in 2008-2009 timeframe.
WTF happened? Did someone place a pod next to both Beck and Johnson while they were sleeping?
PIMF: ‘eeirly’ should be: ‘eerily’.
