Hollywood Leftist Sean Penn Praises Hugo Chavez
Ther Blaze ^ | 12/12/12 | Erica Ritz

Posted on 12/13/2012 9:21:37 PM PST by Mozilla

Hollywood leftist Sean Penn’s support of the belligerent socialist leader of Venezuela is well-known.

Around this time last December a Venezuelan-raised actress called him out as a “communist a**hole” at an airport for his stance, but Penn has steadfastly supported the man who called President Bush “the devil” at the United Nations headquarters in 2006 and accused the United States of giving him cancer.

Saying journalists who refer to Chavez as a “dictator” should be jailed (which should tell you a little something about how he understands freedom), Penn claimed in 2010: “Who do you know here who’s gone through 14 of the most transparent elections on the globe and has been elected democratically, as Hugo Chavez?”

With Chavez’s recent cancer relapse, Penn held back emotion while speaking of the ailing statist at a candlelight vigil in Bolovia on Monday:

[Hugo Chavez] is one of the most important forces we have had on this planet, and I [wish] him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.

What’s this old “has been” been up to these days? Last time I saw him, he was bailing out a boat with a “red solo cup”. LOL!

Too bad the New York Times won't cover this... I'd like to know how they feel about this 'liberal'...

Maybe he can give the eulogy at Chavez’s funeral which should happen soon.

From Wiki...Penn's marriage to pop entertainer Madonna was known for its tumultuous and toxic qualities. It was reported that he abused her with his drinking, his mood-swings, and his taste for pornography... In June of 1987, Sean Penn struck his wife Madonna in the head with a baseball bat...

Thus, this alleged human has no valid justification to hawk his opinions.

In his defense it was just Madonna. And it was just her head.

He probably will be at the funeral. Penn is a outright communist.

"Penn is a outright communist."

As was his dad. You should read the Hollywood Reporter puff piece on Hollywood commies and how "brave" they were/ are.

The guy is a low life. He was in jail not long after doing a film called Bad Boys where he played a person in jail.

I don’t doubt the Hollywood Reporter supports the communistic values in Hollywood.

I will never forgive Robin Wright for marrying this despicable scoundrel.

You hear that, Robin? It’s over between us. We’re through.

"Around this time last December a Venezuelan-raised actress called him out..."

Are the folks at The Blaze afraid to mention Maria Conchita Alonso by name?

BTW, I'm starting a new rule. Everytime a Sean Penn story is posted...

Sean Penn should start a band with Bongo Belafonte.There must be an island in the Carribean where we can send them both and all the rest..........Oooops forgot about Cuba. Penn and Belafonte should live THERE and try to ply their
Hollywood grift THERE while biting the hand that feeds them.

Both Sean the Pawn and Bongo Belafonte are a few hairs short a head, not the sharpest knives in the drawer, a few cards short a deck.

Chavez should just die already. Good riddance. With any luck, butt-boy Sean Penn will jump into his grave in grief and we'll have a two-fer.
