Actress Maria Conchita Alonso joins Accuracy in Media's "Take AIM" radio show Thursday, April 8, at 11:30 am Eastern, to respond to Sean Penn's support for anti-American Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.

Penn recently implied that journalists in the U.S. should receive prison time for referring to Chavez as a dictator. In a March 3 appearance on HBO's "Real Time," Penn told host Bill Maher, "Truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies." (We're sure Chavez would agree.)

Alonso wrote in "An Open Letter to Sean Penn" posted at NewsBusters.org, "Being born in Cuba, a country where freedom of speech is non-existent, it's startling to observe how Venezuela, where I was happily raised, is fast becoming Cuba's mirror image: Dismantling of fundamental democratic rights deserved by its people and citizens of the world."

Penn also said that Chavez had been democratically voted into power in "14 of the most transparent elections in the globe."

“Extreme Prejudice”....I have seen it numerous times....Powers Boothe in that white suit *sigh*

It’s one of my husband’s and my favorite movies. I, too, am a Powers Boothe fan! Of course I loved him as Curly Bill Brocius in “Tombstone,” but I thought he was also OUTSTANDING as Jim Jones in the made-for-TV docudrama, I think it was called “The Guyana Story” or something like that. And in Extreme Prejudice — NOBODY could play that part like Powers Boothe. NOBODY.
