It seems impossible but Sean Penn somehow finds a way to take his zealotry to a whole new level. Sean Penn, a man whose lavish Hollywood lifestyle and artistic accomplishments would never be possible under the brutal Chávez regime, is best pals with the thuggish dictator. And he hates it when others criticize him.
Here’s what Penn said on, you guessed it, Bill Maher’s show (via The Lonely Conservative and Newsbusters):
The collaborative opportunity in Haiti, when you talk about Hugo Chavez, and some of the other people who are demonized [think Castro], and you know, when some of these countries accuse us of an occupation — where I believe this was strictly a humanitarian action by the United States military, and an incredible one – I’m a little sympathetic. Because 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 days after Penn wished his critics would “die screaming of rectal cancer.” Oh and let’s not forget about his nonsensical rambling last night at the Oscars. He’s on quite a roll lately.
There’s something particularly aggravating about people like Sean Penn and Michael Moore. They would NEVER live in either Venezuela or Cuba. They’ll praise evil men like Castro and Chávez, and their respective regimes, while fully enjoying their freedoms and prosperity here in America. They care not one iota about the people living in Venezuela and Cuba where freedom of speech and economic freedom are pretty much nonexistent. Penn and Moore don’t seem to realize that, if they lived in Cuba or Venezuela, their outspoken nature would be severely curtailed if it happened to go against the government, and here in America they are free to spout their moronic drivel.
And that’s yet another reason to love America—that even a dimwit like Penn can say a journalist should be jailed for calling his preferred political leader a dictator, and he has the freedom to say so.
