So Chavez is neither a dictator or tyrant?

Please explain how any American calling him one would be libel or slander and why they should be held to account for calling a foreigner some names?

Why should our freedom of speech be affected because we called some tinpot, socialist POS, fruitsalad wearing, commie bastard a dictator?

So then, does Penn side with Chavez in accusing Barry of causing the Haitian earthquake?

I’m not saying Penn’s opinion is based on reality, just that he’s talking about what he perceives as lies. The press can be held responsible for printing lies through libel and slander laws. Freedom of speech is not unlimited.
