So what is Seans Penns great military record. Unlike Clark gable, Lee Marvin, James Stewart todays stars only play heroes.

But I'm not that surprised really when I see the 400,000 to 500,0000 people in Washington, D.C., last week (for the national anti-war rally.) So I think there is a wave beginning."

You Hollywood guys really DO get all the good drugs, don't you?

I'd love to see how they came up with those numbers.

"Sean Penn hunched alone over his coffee Monday in a Starbucks shop...The actor had been out there with the Iraq war protesters in the chilly fog, which dampened the air but not their spirits."

That is a true American Patriot! He braved a hot fresh coffee at Starbucks, a Monday morning of no work, a chilly fog, and damp air... when most all of America has real jobs and are frikin' working on a frikin' Monday!

Somebody ask these creeps what his draft lottery number was. What, there isn't one? Then where was the man who held a gun to Watada's head making him volunteer. Huh? No such person exists? Then STFU.

You know as a general rule, the majority of Hollywood revolts me, taking political views just for the sake of a political stance, but I think this guy Penn, in his own right brained artistic way, really does believe he's doing the right thing.

Flame away, I don't agree with anything the guy does (especially his trip to Iraq - which seemed treasonish,) but he does come across as genuine in his feelings, not spewing angry hate at the top of his lungs like so many of his peers.

If we've got to put up with the Hollywood types, I'd rather see them doing, not saying. So I think he's out in left field, at least he puts himself out there instead of issuing statements from a lofty perch.

When will hollyweird and Watada's fans realize this isn't an episode of Perry Mason? This is a Military Court Martial under the UCMJ.

As for Watada, he is either a coward, which I feel, or he enlisted deliberately to pull this stunt, which I am coming closer to belieivng is also the truth.

Bottom line, regardless, he abandoned his men when they need him most. To me, that is unforgiveable!

As for Sean Penn, who the He** really cares about that nutcase?

I'll look for the article tomorrow regarding that recent protest in Washington, D.C.

The Nazis believed they were "doing the right thing." The man shilled for Saddam Hussein, a modern Hitler, on his trip to Iraq.

Penn is one of the worst at spewing venom.

And all his protests do, contrary to your assessment, "at least he puts himself out there instead of issuing statements from a lofty perch", in reality give aid and encouragement to the terrorists and hurt the morale of the good guys. He's not a courageous idealist, he's a self-absorbed, narcissistic traiter who goes along with the Hollywood herd.

As a previous poster noted:

"He braved a hot fresh coffee at Starbucks, a Monday morning of no work, a chilly fog, and damp air... when most all of America has real jobs and are frikin' working on a frikin' Monday!"

If it wasn't for NPR, I'd never had known who this POS Watada is.

I'm not so close minded that I don't have liberal friends, in fact, disagreements aside, I can appreciate a healthy arguement or discussion from an opposing view.

All I'm saying, and that's all I'm saying, is that the guy seems like someone a regular joe can speak to without the conversation instantly devolving into some canned lefty elevator speech. I could easily be wrong, just my impression.

I've seen/heard Penn spew a lot of idiocy in the last few years, but what he said today was the most ignorant and obnoxious stuff out of his mouth, ever. Even Spicoli was wiser and better informed.
