At the end of a discussion of Haiti on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, actor Sean Penn went on a rant in defense of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, suggesting prison time for American journalists: "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."

The irony with all the Spicoli pictures on this thread is that the only—and I mean only—Sean Penn role that I like is from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

At least he’s mellowing in his old age. 25 years ago, he would have just punched them.

Chavez is a dictator.

Sean Penn is an idiot.

At least Chavez can change.

Mellowing? He's turned into a die-hard communist. When he was young he probably didn't really understand what he was doing. But now that he's an 'adult' and maintains this embracing of communism and its assorted dictators, he's much more despicable.

Just mind your business. You obviously haven't a clue how to help inform and fight the left, assuming that is in fact your goal.

These two are the mouths but who is behind them? What is it about HBO? That channel must have executives who want to make everything ugly, especially traditional America. HBO has an anti-American and anti-Christian agenda.


You’ve just touched on one of my pet peeves/favorite talking points.

It’s not so much the guy that reads the words on the teleprompter, it’s the guy that writes the checks. These guys are mostly paid monkeys.

After all, the First Amendment is only for the "f-word."
