An Open Letter to Sean Penn
NewsBusters ^ | Thursday, March 25, 2010 | Maria Conchita Alonso

Posted on 03/29/2010 6:00:53 AM PDT by stevie_d_64

Editor's Note: The following is an open letter from actress Maria Conchita Alonso, who penned this response to actor Sean Penn's recent remarks on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" in which the left-wing actor defended Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.

Dear Sean, WHY?

Even though I have great respect for your artistic talent, I was appalled by a recent television interview where you vigorously showed support for the regime of Hugo Chavez. Therefore, I've decided to set the record straight for you regarding the Chavez regime, supporting my case based not only on my political ideologies, but on proven facts you choose to ignore. Otherwise, I believe your position would be different.

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.

For example, you said that all Chavez-winning elections in Venezuela were "transparent."

Then WHY didn't the government allow a manual recount of the votes and computer information when doubt set in? After all, how do you explain how these votes that were strongly favoring the opposition mysteriously reflected the opposite results the morning after, thus permitting Chavez to continue on? On what are you basing your conclusions? I strongly recommend that you read a report by the U.S. State Department written in 2009 entitled "The Fraudulent Elections in Venezuela".

I have no respect for his artistic talent or his sneer.

I think he stinks.

In a number of ways ...

Watched her on FNC this morning.

She made a great point....Sean, we have a First Amendment here in the US (for now) so putting people in jail for speaking against Chavez is what a Regime does, you maroon!

Sean Penn is obviously an idiot

No, he's a commie like his father.

Commies are not idiots - they're much worse.

Hoping to reason with someone like Sean Penn may make you feel better, but it would be like throwing bowling balls at a velcro strip - nothing’s gonna stick.

The supporters here of communism will never move to these countries because they couldn’t survive in them and they know it.

It certainly shows them for the liars they are.

Sean Penn LIKES tyranny and oppression.

This letter won't sway him.

This letter will encourage him.

Attempting to reason with Sean Penn with common sense, brutal truth and undisputable and irrefutable fact and evidence is tantamount to attempting to teach the intricasies of Quantum Physics to a severe Down’s Syndrome victim.

Thank you. That is so on-point it's not even funny. It simply amazes me, the arrogance and hubris of these people who think that, because they got rich off of what amounts to nothing more than a middle-school popularity contest held on a nationwide basis, they are somehow geniuses, the philosopher-kings from Plato's Republic, when in fact they are nothing more than glorified uber-idiots. Plato knew Obama's sort, and captured him perfectly in any number of phrases, such as the following (makes a handy little bumper-sticker, too):

Plato on Obama, small
