Sean Penn wants 1st Amendment repealed
Fox News ^ | 3/9/2010 | Fox News

First Amendment be damned . . . If Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn had his way, any journalist who called Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a dictator would quickly find himself behind bars.

Penn, appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, defended Chavez during a segment in which he detailed his work with the JP Haitian Relief Organization, which he co-founded.

"Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it" said Penn, winner of two Best Actor Academy Awards. "And this is mainstream media, who should -- truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies."

Instead of repealing that right my fathers fought and risked their lives for, wouldn’t it be easier to give this SOB a lobotomy?

At least if the 1st Amendment was repealed we might have some hope of shutting Penn up so we don’t have to listen to his idiocy any more. Yes, I know we don’t HAVE to listen to it, but every time he makes one of his inane comments, it’s all over the news.

Why do people even listen to braying asses like Sean Penn? I myself don't expect to find worthwhile discourse in a barnyard.

Why does the press even cover this dolt?

The only difference between Penn and other leftists is he's honest about it.

There is, Mr. Penn. It's in Venezuela.

I sometimes wish on a bright Saturday morning I could see him on the shoulder riding his bike in Marin with no one around, and me in my truck, sipping coffee.

Accidents are horrible.

I’m not sure Penn actually called for the repeal of the first amendment. It certainly doesn’t protect libel or slander, which is basically what Penn is talking about.

If he likes the guy so much, he ought to go live with him or in the country for a few years and then he can report back to us. Then, we may respect his words more.

Sean Penn has to be the ugliest actor in Hollywood! He should keep his little bitty mouth shut!

Aren't his parents communists?

Hollywood idiots like the over-privileged, over-praised millionaire actor, Sean Penn, demonstrate their stupidity every time they open their mouth. Who on earth really cares what this dope thinks about anything? He gets far too much attention from conservatives, including this one.

Funny, he didn’t state this when Bush was President.
