Idiot Watch: Sean Penn Says Chavez More Positive For Venezuela Than Negative
From Newsbusters.org:
Dictator-gadfly Sean Penn told Australia’s The Age that Venezuelan autocrat Hugo Chavez is “much more positive for Venezuela than he is negative” and the Chavez-crafted constitution is “a very beautiful document.”
Yes, that’s the same leader who is a student of the Robert Mugabe School of Economics, shut down a TV station that criticized him and just installed himself El Presidente for life.
But hey, Venezuelans, relax! Actor/director/humanitarian Sean Penn isn’t concerned that Chavez is on his way to becoming a dictator. So, stop worrying that Chavez will confiscate your home or business and force you to sew “I Heart Holocaust-Deniers” onto his custom-made Commie-red button downs.
Is it “much more positive” than negative that Chavez is on his way to creating a Cuba-style dictatorship where there is no private property, free speech or civil rights?
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Boy Sean at it again. His Intellect is missing a key intelligent thought process called “sincere genuine subject comprehension”. For some reason he feels a need to prove he has a profound view to share… like an adolescent with a new found brain…anyway this guy thinks his acting experience has made him a geopolitical guru.
…Boy Sean “I’m a journalist”, yeah right, like that profession needs more ass-clowns.
BTW, his best role was in Team America

he is good as an actor though,
“Mistic River”, “The weight of the water”…
are unforgotable movies
His father was a great movies maker
and, the last, but the best, Madonna said he was very intelligent
the problem for Venezuela, they got oil ; a tradition of military dictature… they didn’t yet had the opportunity to experiment how a democraty works. I expect in this kind of country that will be “impossible” : too many different
goals in such a big country : huge haciendas, very poor peons, who go surrounding the big cities as Carracas (we call them “bidonville”), drugs gangs, oil new richs…
(say, I went to Carracas a few decades ago)
the different Chile resolved their problems, even a woman is leading there, but no oil, no afferent corruption…
November 17th, 2007 at 2:45 amI lived in Maracaibo for over a year, I have relatives there still. FYI franchie, Venezuela was a founding country in OPEC so they are not neuvaux riche. Like any Latin country they have some real hangups as well as good things about their culture.
Chavez and his ass puppet Penn can both spoon in hell.
Chavez is a paiaso (clown) whose ham handed way of revolution may have cut the mustard back in the 50’s but it ain’t going to fly. Like all arrogant fucks he will fall on his own sword.
November 17th, 2007 at 12:05 pmmy experience there was as a cruise visitor ; I have seen there a great “pauvreté” (favellas all the way long from the harbour to the capital), such as when walking in the streets, especially around La Guaira, you had to remain in a group, otherwise you would finished your promenade in slip , without watch and money robed ; in the inner city, we saw harly persons (at that time there was a military dictature) ; the available public bars were the ones of the military officers circles
as far as OPep is concerned, your right, (partly though, if you concider opep arised in 1973 after oil crisis) ; as I said I went there a few decades ago
