Sean Penn Wants Reporters Jailed for Calling Chavez 'Dictator'
Fox News ^ | March 08 2010

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."

You should care because a LOT of people think like him.
If they get more power, we’re doomed.

One day Mr Penn will have his eyes opened to the truth of Chavez, I hope he can live with himself then.

You can’t fix stupid.

You can't beat it out of them either but I think it would be wrong not to at least try.

Yep. Penn made a CIA movie a couple of years ago. It sounded interesting and I probably would have seen it if anyone other than Penn had been the lead.

The idea of squaring Penn with national security and the CIA was too much for me.

BTW, Penn once gave an interview and his kids were begging him to STFU. They told him that he was embarrassing the whole family.

But, it appears he just can’t help himself. Ruin his career, embarrass his family, doesn’t seem to care. He is obsessed with promoting totalitarian Marxism regardless of the consequences.

Sean Penn is living proof that one can be a complete moron in America and yet make it somewhat big. Typical loudmouthed leftist-bashing the country that gave him a good life. Move to Venezuela already you anus hole.

I would say it right to this little pipsqueak's face.

In spite of his reputation, I have no fear that he would take a swing at me. After all, I'm not a woman.

Nothing says “I’m not a dictator” like jailing reporters who fail to refer to you by the correct title.

Obvisously whatever he caught from Madonna has finally reached his brain. He's crazier than a sh*thouse rat.

The apple does not fall far from the tree..Pinns father was a Hollywood director during the McCarthy years. he was called before the Un-American Activities Committee..he would not name names of the commies in Hollywood so I guess you could say Pinns daddy was a commie so his son followed daddy into the party..McCarthy should have seen to it that all of these filthy commies were shipped out of our country..I know his hands were tied though..Where better to do mind control over a great nation than coming from Hollywood..So there ou have it little Sean was taught from birth to hate America and all good things in it..
