Sean Penn: Journalists who Call Chavez a Dictator Deserve to Go to Prison
by Pam MeisterWhat is it with Sean Penn? When he’s not busy wishing rectal cancer on his critics (and looking constipated while doing it), he’s slamming Americans who dare to say mean and nasty things about his pal Hugo Chavez. I kid you not!
In a recent appearance on Bill Maher’s HBO show, Penn showered praise on Venezuela for assisting him in assisting the quake victims in Haiti. He also claimed to have a little sympathy for those who hold America-as-an-evil-empire-looking-to-conquer-the-world views. Then he turns around and says journalists here who call Chavez a dictator (shudder) should do a stint in the hoosegow:
The collaborative opportunity in Haiti, when you talk about Hugo Chavez, and some of the other people who are demonized [think Castro], and you know, when some of these countries accuse us of an occupation – where I believe this was strictly a humanitarian action by the United States military, and an incredible one – I’m a little sympathetic. Because 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.
Okay, so he’s not officially a dictator. Neither was Saddam Hussein, you may recall – he won 100 percent of the vote back in the day. How about we call Hugo “dictator in waiting” instead? Would that make Sean feel better?
Let’s take a look at some of the things Venezuela’s duly elected leader has done lately:
- The takeover of numerous banks has caused the Venezuelan dollar to plunge in value.
- His dream of ending presidential term limits was realized a year ago.
- He supports the Basque terror organization ETA as well as the Colombian FARC.
- This oil-rich nation that depends upon “green” sources for its electricity is now rationing said electricity, and Chavez is threatening to “punish” businesses that use what the government deems to be too much, further putting a strain on that nation’s economy.
- Chavez ordered the takeover of a number of privately-owned businesses, including U.S. food giant Cargill, assets of 60 oilfield services companies, and he continues to tighten his grip on private media.
- Schools that do not implement his socialist curriculum will be nationalized.
- Always concerned that the Venezuelan public doesn’t get enough of him, Chavez has a Sunday television show called “Hello, President” that can go on for hours, frequently orders television and radio stations to air his speeches (threatening to close them down if they don’t comply), and now has a new radio program called “Suddenly Chavez,” where radio broadcasts can be interrupted by Dear Leader at any time, day or night, in a bid to “serve to define the lines of communication of the Bolivarian Revolution.” Oh, and just a couple of weeks ago, Chavez himself was the victim of his own bad policy when his live television broadcast was briefly cut off due to a loss of power.
Meanwhile, when George W. Bush was president, Sean Penn had plenty of unflattering things to say about that elected leader, including saying Bush was our country’s “most devastating enemy,” calling for the impeachment of Bush and Dick Cheney, and calling Bush, Cheney and Condoleezza Rice “villainously and criminally obscene people, obscene human beings.”
Then there were the countless references to Bush as Hitler. What did Sean Penn think about those? Ah well, they were indulging in freedom of speech, so it’s okay.
I wonder what would have happened to our dear friend Sean if he’d said the same things about Chavez that he did about Bush were he a citizen of Venezuela. Never mind; I think I know.
I could call Sean Penn the most brilliant thinker of our time, but according to the standards set by Penn himself, I should go to prison. So scratch that.

He tries so hard to sound intelligent and original. Poor thing. His mother was clearly a heavy drug user while she was pregnant with him.
Penn, progressive liberal piece of garbage…..move in with the dictator…now, I have to ask if a moderate or conservative made the same claim??? that person would be ostracized/ shunned and basically tore down to NO END…. go back to your hole and please O please get off your soap box…. in other words shut up and act… that is all!
Uhm Sean, freedom of speech? Heard of it?
You know Chavez probably laughs his ass off over this nut. He's probably like, "yeah, I have a two time Academy Award winner that will fly down here just to wipe my butt for me while telling me all these idiotic lies about his own country any time I want!!!"
How cruel is it that Corey Haim is dead of a drug overdose and Sean Penn isn't?
This is not meant to be rhetorical:
Does anyone take Sean Penn seriously? To me, it seems that even those center-left have to be thinking this guy is a clown.
I'd just like to see him try to bully the wrong person.
He's very 'brave' when it comes to people he can intimidate or easily physically assault. Maybe that's why he is such good buddies with Chavez. Bullies like to stick together and run and cry when they are confronted by those who aren't intimidated.
Penn is nothing more to Mr. Chavez than a useful idiot!
To us, he's a useless idiot!
If you ask nicely maybe he'll add an insult about your rectum.
It's so much more satisfying to simply ignore him.
You obviously fail to understand the nuances of free speech. Report to the "re-education center" by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. Or Hugo's loyal followers will assist you.
I think Sean Penn is getting money from Chavez.
It's not appropriate to wish death on anyone*.
An absolutely agonizing ruptured hemorrhoid, depends upon the circumstances.
* Usual caveat for your Hitlers, Maos, Stalins, etc. I asked a priest about this once, back when saddam was hanged, and he referred me to something the nuns told him in parochial school. It's okay to pray for a quick death.
For some reason, I think I must be pretty far down on Penn's massive enemies list. Then again, he seems to have enough hatred to encompass the whole world. Got to love that progressive philosophy!
Certainly not me.
There you go again! Freedom of speech can only be used by the Left. The Right is supposed to shut up and listen to our intellectual betters.
Near as I can, someone did beat his face already. I mean, the guy is rewriting the definition of butt ugly.
Sean Penn is America's insane court jester – he is employed to entertain us, but his diseased mind has made his act embarrassing and ugly…
…what do you do with an unfunny, mentally-ill clown like Penn ?
Penn will always have a place in the kneewell of Hugo's desk.
All this guy will ever be to me is Jeff Spicoli.
yeah he looks like he did a 100 yard dash in a 90 yard gym….
I'm sick of bashing this flaming asshole. Nothing more can be said about this useless POS. here's to hoping he moves the Venezuela forever.
Oh and his antics have ruined his movies for me. Way to go you sorry excuse for a human being….
Penn is a scrambled egg fried on a blazing Caracas sidewalk.
All of you at there please stop calling mr.chavez a dictator
as a native from venezuela i beg you not to call him a
dictator no more and start calling him by the name that
we at home call him,"THE DEVILS RIGHT HAND"
thank you and prey for all the citizens of VENEZUELA.
No one ever said it was easy being a progressive. And expensive too!
He is a reason why fathers always should interview men who date their daughters.
bill maher. tom hanks,penn and the rest of the cooks in hollycrap. these God hateing perverted anti american not so brite people need to get out of the land of the free and get a taste of che-chavez style gov . that they would not last a week cause they would be shot or put in a death prison . by the way people all over the world are doing as much as they can to come HERE, FREEDOM USA. Not a suppressive country like the one these people seek for

THANK YOU, AND I BELIEVE IN AMERICAN
TAX DOLLARS.
I think we at the Bigs, being the kind, compassionate souls that we are, should start a fund to buy old Sean a one-way ticket to Venezuela, inasmuch as it's so intolerable here, what with our pesky freedoms and all. Anyone else want to kick in a few bucks?
His career may have progressed to soaring heights, but Penn as a person has not progressed passed Jeff Spicoli. Why do people, even people on the left, listen to this moron? The right has some crazies, too, but we tend to ignore them, while the left embraces there's. Weird.
You've got it right H_S.What else can you say about this scumbag mutt Penn. I wouldn't mind hearing someone introduced him to a lead pipe that was made in America. It's the romantic in me.
I think Sean Penn needs to be visited by three spirits on July 4, 2010. The Ghost of Revolutions Past, The Ghost of Current Events, and the Ghost of Liberal Future. He's as mean and selfish as Scrooge, saying "Bah-Humbug," to American Patriotism.
The only thing out of Hollywood I am interested in are 'some' of the movies and music. As far as the celebrity opinions, I could care less. They are nothing but overpaid Court Jesters.
If Penn feels free to wish agonizing death on his critics, he's fair game. "Do unto others…"
He got all the money he'll ever get from me when I saw "Fast Times" in the theatres way back when. Let him buy his own @#!! ticket to Hell.
Yeah, a jester who wears Hugo's ass as a hat.
Keep smoking Sean. Keep smoking.
For services rendered. Knob polishing.,
See, Bush didn't do any of those things so Chavez can't be a dictator.
I think Penn's looking to be Hugo's official knob polisher.
Hey, its HBO here. Would you like to do a show for us?
Nothing proves your not a dictator like putting people in prison for saying something you don't like.
Penn's Utopian vision is no doubt the result of many years of public undereducation followed by years of pounding his brain cells with drugs. I least he has a clear and believable message, unlike Obama.
.
Hearsay, as it may be, and no doubt it is as I did not witness this. Still, I love to re-live a moment related to me back in the 1980's when Mr. Madonna was going around the globe punching anyone that seemed to cross his less than average height eye line. There was a popular nightclub called "The Limelight" where the 'since reformed, gay bashing Mr. Madonna liked to work out his anger. But, always it seemed to be on the easy target. Till one night, the little lady was bullying a few patrons and then made the unfortunate mistake of pulling his tough guy shit on the main Doorman. I can even go so far as to tell you the rumored name of said Doorman. Barry. Again, and for the record, I do not know this to be true. Just passing it on in case anyone else would like a bit of schadenfreude, as unprovable as it may be. Anyway, as it goes, after exercising incredible control, Barry, felt it time to be more aggressive for the safety of others in the immediate area. Well, well, the little lady would have none of this forced control and decided to remind Barry what a tough guy he was. Rumor had it that Barry was the guy you called when honest to goodness bad ass patrons were out of line. I also, understand that he was also quite the diplomat settling "beefs" without a hint of violence. So it goes, the little troll, sober as a teetotaler mind you, did I forget to mention that Mr. Madonna was sober and fit as a prize boxer? Barry dragged him by his collar like one would a small child or pet, then repeatedly pushed his face into an active open curbside drain gutter. Every time the missus opened his mouth to spew more tough guy bullshit, Barry took a handful of sludge and wiped it in his mouth and face. Barry, it is said, never punched or slapped this ass but kept repeating "I thought you were a tough guy?" and "C'mon, tough guys don't let people do this to them." After a series of smears and mouthfuls of sludge, Mr. Madonna began weeping in frustration and looked to his entourage of real or at least more real, tough guys, but got only downward glances. This beautiful dance was said to be topped (more fittingly bottomed) off with a swift kick right in the sweet spot of his arse, and an open invitation from this man Barry of, "Come back when you grow a pair."
Uh, Spicoli, I mean, Sean, you do know that in Venezuela, journalists who criticize Chavez DO go to prison, right?
That and a number of head drops after the fact while reaching for her bong.
Idiots who marry Madonna should be sent to the looney bin.
It's really just the dope talking. It's legal down there in the dictator's banana regime.
This is Sean Penn's way of staying in some news. Just be outrageous and they will flock to your face. I think any B-actor who refuses to acknowledge the truth about murderous thugs should remain stuck in more and more meaningless films.
Penn is an absolute moron. !
It is sad to see that such a great actor is such an ignorant in politics Chavez is a dictator he supports terrorists groups , and is driving venezuela to poverty, totally agree with you
Since you call Chavez "The Devil's Right Hand", I will start referring to our petty tyrant as "El Culo del Diablo". Feel free to correct or improve upon my Spanish.
Seann Penn and Oliver Stone are two big ignorants , they need to read the newspapper from time to time to see who is Hugo Chaves he is the Hitler of this times a very dangerous person that is sinking venezuela spending his resources in supporting terrorists groups like FARC and ETA and buying popularity in the region by giving away oil to other counties as Argentina and Bolivia
PEOPLE WAKE UP CHAVEZ IS A BAD PERSON !! HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL AND HE WILL BE SOON HE CANNOT HIDE ANY LONGER HIS CONNECTIONS TO TERRORISTS!!!!!!!
Penn compares Bush to Hitler and Chavez is his kind of guy.
Did he sleep through history class?
It's to bad, and ironic that Penn needed a teacher like Mr. Hand.
If there's anyone out there who's been hired to give a big ouch to the Chavez beast— if Sean's there— give him a big ouch too. Thanks
Ha, ha, ha. Excellent story!
Shines 'em up reeeeaal good.
If he loves Chavez so much why doesn't he marry him? Oh wait.
I wrote this on another thread and I'll repeat it here:
" the most off-putting part of an Oscar ceremony" was allowing Sean Penn on stage to voice one of his usual, mind-numbing, idiotic, babbling rants.
Hey Sean, you're an actor. You get paid to not be yourself. You're good at not being yourself. Try it in everyday life. Nobody gives a crap about your opinion except the MSM, who seem to think your opinion reflects some kind of reality where Hugo Chavez is a good guy. STFUFGS.
Penn, like the other glitterati floating in the Hollywood sewer, never met a fascist dictator he didn't like. I would never wish on another what he has but if he one day found himself up against a wall with some 'Che' wannabe pulling out his pistol, it would prove the existence of a supreme being and that he is just.
Move to Venezuela Spicoli.
Mr. Penn, you never cease to amaze me.
I long for the days when the kook libs were at least free-speech champions and not totalitarian hand puppets.
Penn is a real PENNdejo
Your are a idiot Sean Penn. When will you go away..
Hugo Chavez has a new Venezuelan XXX movie coming out this year…, it's called "Creampie Cabin boys" Starring Sean Penn as the "First Mate" and Hugo Chavez as the "Skipper"
Speaking of Chavez, does it seem to anyone else that Obama is morphing into a Chavez like character with this rants about evil insurance companies?
Penn has to be one of THE most intelligent liberals in Follywood. THE most intelligent…I mean the "schmartist", most well read, really one of the deepest thinkers.
Malibu Gangsta' leads the pack…YIKES!
Penn is brain dead from a Marxist overdose.
That he gets media time is an intolerable cruelty against the oppressed people of Venezuela.
IIRC, the rest of the Golden Rule doesn't quite say that you can inflict the same thing upon others.
Unless you're actually quoting Rule 13 from the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates, of course.
I'd enjoy that, but I doubt anybody gets too close to this little putz.
He does come up to me shoulder height wise or a tad higher, but unless he has a pillow case full of popcans ("Bad Boys" 80's movie) he'll defer and I imagine he'll just go on being a Follywood tool.
Penn is referring to the press publishing slanderous comments and stories filed with false claims. Not regular people saying things.
…to this day all he needs "is good smoke and some tasty waves".
Perhaps we are getting some insight as to why the wife is dumping him. How sad that these fools get a little money and automatically distance themselves from society and reality. There must be a special hell for these people. There must.
Regular people? Those who take fiber supplements?
After reading about who Penn admires, I'd consider it a compliment to be criticized by this insufferable tool.
in that photo, which is which? It's like a mirror photo.
For the love of God!!! Pleeeeeeease, somebody beat this idiot's face in already!!!! I'll give you a peso for your effort!!
I wish people like Sean Penn, who hate this country but love these dick – taters, would just move there! Go away!

Give Penn credit for at least being honest, as "progressives" don't really believe in individual rights and freedoms.
For the left (not necessarily liberals), "democracy", tolerance of other political beliefs, and general adherence to principles like those of the US Constitution, including freedom of the press, are at best means to an end, and at worst impediments to their real goal: power.
For Penn (and Chavez), all that matters is crushing the opposition through whatever means are at their disposal. Penn is not being disingenuous when he calls for jailing members of the press who dare criticize Hugo Chavez; he honestly believes real "freedom" can only be achieved by silencing all dissenting opinion.
D.I.C.T.A.T.O.R!!!
Get it PUPPET BOY PENN?
Wouldn't it just be better for everyone if we could just put Sean Penn, Bill Maher, and Kathy Griffin into a big canvas bag with a couple of hungry wolverines for a couple of hours? Just asking…
tom hanks is really not that compared to many others. after all he did take back what he said about Mormons being "anti-american".
If only Spicoli had paid attention in Government class instead of ordering pizzas…
Don't forget, when Hugo shut down the TV station critical of him, Douchenozzle defended him by saying that he wasn't shutting them down, he just refused to renew their license.
Chavez loaded up the Army with his own cronies. He greatly increased the pay of the officer corps (not corpse) in order to maintain their loyalty and elimate any chance of a military coup. He has also organized "Bolivarian Circles" in poor communities. These are his eyes and ears. These rats will report you if you speak out against Chavez. You will then mysteriously lose your job or be subjected to a serious ass kicking by a bunch of guys you have never seen before in your life. Kids in school are encouraged to rat out counter revolutionary parents. In Spanish Penn is a "Surdo de Caviar" or "Caviar Leftists". Penn lives in bucolic Fairfax in Marin County. Nor Cal. That is when he isn't bangin' russian hookers at South Lake Tahoe. Rumor has it that russian hookers go better with coke.
I guess Maher didnt tell him what he said made him a huge hypocrite? fcking frauds
I was thinking more of putting them into a sealed vault with wolverines.
Thank you. I have absolutely noticed how left HBO has become. Unbelievable garbage – some of the shows are. Esecially that Bill Maherasse.
After reading the list of what Chavez has done lately it looks like what Obama is doing. Can we now admit Odumbo is a Marxist.
How many people would like to beat the crap out of this punk.He is a tough guy who walks around with body guards.This bull crap Jew is part of the big problem America is facing from these bolsheviks who laugh all the way to the bank.From the ACLU to wall street and the Senate,these jews are destroying this once proud and great country.
If Sean Penn ever disappears I'll lose so many future laughs. Good one Seany.
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" implies that Penn wishes others to wish ill upon him.
As for Rule 13, I'll look it up!

When Chavez masturbates he uses Sean Penn's hand.
Like Sean can even spell "journalist."
LOL!!! How very liberal, loving and Democratic of Mr. Penn!!! Throw everyone in prison if they say something he doesn't agree with? LOL!!! He is the very definition of an uneducated, illogical, bona fide moron!!!
If Meister had real guts she'd call out the Commie Palins for their concrete ties to Chavez:
http://www.adn.com/2010/03/09/1175813/iron-dog-pa...
Spicoli's a tool, always has been.
I like what "Red Eye" Greg Gutfeld said today in is article…
"5.The views of people you think are really cool – like actors or pop stars – should never be trusted. They live a life independent of consequence."
Actually, judging by Penn's cockeyed view of the world, it's probably the other way around. He's probably supporting Chavez financially because he believes in him!
Rectum? Damn near killed 'em. HAHAHAHAHA!! Anyway, I am not sure who listens to Penn anymore other than the Media. Soon he will become a cautionary tale for when someone imbibes too much Communistic kool-aid.
