First Amendment be damned . . . If Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn had his way, any journalist who called Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a dictator would quickly find himself behind bars.
Penn, appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, defended Chavez during a segment in which he detailed his work with the JP Haitian Relief Organization, which he co-founded.
"Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it" said Penn, winner of two Best Actor Academy Awards. "And this is mainstream media, who should -- truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies."
It was just the beginning of a busy weekend for Penn. When asked on CBS' "Sunday Morning" about those who question his motives for his humanitarian work in Haiti, he said:
"Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it."

What an evil small sub-humanoid.
A fake communist in chauffered limos and private jets.
In his beloved Cuba, decent people are rotting and dying in hellole jails. Heck, the whole nation of Cuba is a gigantic prison, with Venezuela on its way to replicating the sme.

Penn is so upset about Chavez being called a dictator that he wants the USA to have a dictatorship.

Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept itFWIW, Hitler was elected in a (more or less) free election.

If he doesn’t believe in the First Amendment then who are we to recognize his citizenship? Just deport the SOB to Venezuela and we’d all be happy.
On second thought, he’d hate to live there (i.e. reality and hypocrisy bites) and you know FatBoy The Dictator wouldn’t want his sorry ass around either.
To: Red in Blue PA
If he didn’t act like a dictator it would be unlikely that he would be called one.
