At the end of a discussion of Haiti on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, actor Sean Penn went on a rant in defense of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, suggesting prison time for American journalists: "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."
This is a little strange, since a study by our Business and Media Institute of Chavez coverage from 1998 to 2006 found Chavez’s much-criticized human rights record was mentioned in only ten percent of stories, and he was described as a leftist in only 12 percent of stories. Maher shifted to Chavez and the end of the Haiti interview, asking Penn to make a case for his man Chavez:
MAHER: His image in the media is just a buffoon. You have been there. You know him. You’ve talked to him. That’s all I really know about Hugo Chavez, is what I read in the media. A dictator, took over a lot of the branches of government, wants to be president for life. What do you know that I don’t know, that I should not have such a harsh feeling about this guy?
PENN: I think that if you’re more happy with 20 percent of a population having the access to dreams, access to the feeling they have an identity and a voice. If it’s okay with the 20 percent, versus the 80 percent he gave it to, then you can criticize Hugo Chavez. You know, there are a lot of complicated issues that comes simply out of perspective. We in the United States have a difficult time putting ourselves in the shoes of what has been the history of Venezuela, the history of Latin America, and many other places.We’re very monocultural. And then we are hypnotized by the media. For example, Hugo Chavez. Who do you know here who’s gone through fourteen of the most transparent elections on the globe, and has been elected democratically, as Hugo Chavez?
Stay with the transcript here, because Penn’s talk gets very fuzzy and inarticulate, but his primary point is that Venezuela and Cuba helped him provide assistance to Haiti, when he knew next to nothing about how to help, so he is frustrated that anyone would speak negatively about them:
PENN: Hugo Chavez, who when I went to Venezuela, when I went to Haiti, because when I, starting up an NGO [non-governmental organization, in U.N.-speak], how do I , an actor in Hollywood, order bulk narcotics? [Laughter] But meanwhile –
MAHER: Oh, I know you do know how.
PENN: But on a serious note, you know, this is where amputations, reamputations after gangrene sets in – it was Venezuela, Cuba, were – supplied us with those to be able to get them to hospitals. And then later when I – it wasn’t because the Americans weren’t, it was because I didn’t know how – It seemed I didn’t know the same people that I know to be able to do it.
Penn wrapped up the segment by insisting that he’s a little sympathetic to anti-American conspiracy theories about occupation, because this is the kind of gunk that gets thrown at his hero Hugo, and it should be punished by jail time:
PENN: 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.
Penn did not offer praise for the network news reporters who spoke well of Chavez, as BMI reported:
Jessica Yellin of ABC's Good Morning America" portrayed him as the "wildly popular Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez" and added "it's clear the real star in these parts is Mr. Chavez, the protest leader" in her Nov. 5, 2005, broadcast.
Ironically, an Aug. 16, 2004, "NBC Nightly News," report actually noted concern had Chavez lost the election. Anchor Tom Brokaw expressed that sentiment: "There had been concerns that a Chavez defeat could further disrupt oil supplies."
Chavez and Penn do seem to agree on George W. Bush, as BMI noted:
A Feb. 5, 2006, Reuters report quoted him [Chavez] saying: "The imperialist, genocidal, fascist attitude of the U.S. president has no limits. I think Hitler would be like a suckling baby next to George W. Bush."
So Penn doesn't think Chavez isn't more of a demonizer than a demonizee?

Free speech
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 09:35 ET by KC MulvilleWe tolerate this fool's ramblings only out of a devotion to the principles behind free speech. And yet, see his impulse to silence others, or to allow others to speak only if they agree with what he believes. That's cognitive dissonance. Penn holds two ideas as true (freedom vs. censorship of critics), yet which contradict one another. The definition of irrationality is precisely that.

Questions Sean
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 09:46 ET by okiehawk44Why are there a growing numbers of large protests against Chavez welling up from the people of Venzuela?
Why is Chavez getting more and more repressive towards his own citizens?
More important why.....
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 17:31 ET by richard....is, why does any sane person give this fool the time of day? He and Danny Boy Glover need to be ostracized from normal society, rather than having articles written about things they say and do. His schtick only works in Hollyweird, where he is amongst others of his shallow and twisted logic.
The Mennonites/Amish have it right, when they shun people of their clan as the peacefull way to deal with maniacs, such as the two mentioned above. I on the other hand would certainly like to see this idiot get his come-upance prior to the shunning, preferably via a Louisville Slugger.

doesn't accept reality very well
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 10:36 ET by spepperMr. Penn apparently doesn't accept the reality that Hugo Chavez is in fact, a totalitarian dictatorial thug who wants to arm Venezuela to the teeth, to include nuclear weapons-- I'd say that would give all of South America, not to mention the entire Western Hemisphere, cause for concern-- so the question here is: what's up with Sean Penn's inability to accept reality, not to mention his paranoia and disdain for those who do?

Penn wins today's Lillian Hellman Award
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 12:00 ET by GalvanicThis is why it is important to let Penn speak out.
Whenever he does, he reveals the true side of radical Leftist values. Penn, who to my knowledge, has never been fined or incarcerated for political speech, wants to throw anti-Chavez press and speakers in jail.
Let's not forget that Chavez openly describes his own mission as "socialist revolution" and openly advocates spreading that revolution cross Latin America. He is a admirer of Fidel Castro, and he has actively sought out alliances with Iran and Communist China.
The facts speak for themselves. Chavez-lover Penn is what the Bolsheviks would refer to as a "useful idiot," not unlike Stalin-apologist Lillian Hellman.
Sean Penn has again destroyed any hope of being taken seriously.

Mon, 03/08/2010 - 12:51 ET by stage9wasn't an anomoly, it was actual? The pothead Spicoli seems to emerge:
PENN: But on a serious note, you know, this is where amputations, reamputations after gangrene sets in – it was Venezuela, Cuba, were – supplied us with those to be able to get them to hospitals. And then later when I – it wasn’t because the Americans weren’t, it was because I didn’t know how – It seemed I didn’t know the same people that I know to be able to do it.
HUH? What the heck is he talking about?
PENN: I’m a little sympathetic. Because every day, this elected leader (Chavez) is called a dictator here, and we just accept it! And accept it.
Nawwww...Chavez isn't a dictator; a liberal love child maybe but not a dictator. It isn't like he's tried to defraud elections or anything:

C'mon, Sean. Name names. It was Hugo Chavez who publicly declared that the US had deliberately set-off some undefined super-weapon off the coast of Haiti to trigger the earthquake, and use disaster relief as a premise for military occupation of Haiti.
Yet, despite Penn's praise for our military personnel on that mission, and the fact that the US is the leader in relief assistance to Haiti, Penn states that, "I'm a little sympathetic" regarding the lies of people like Chavez.
Keep talking, Penn. Spew out all your anti-American vitriol. And please -- PLEASE -- endorse some Democratic candidates this fall.

PBS - "The Hugo Chavez Show"
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 14:13 ET by Gary HallMay I suggest Sean Penn, you little smear and hate monger you, that you set down and watch this PBS presented Frontline production, "The Hugo Chavez Show." You can watch the entire show, right in the privacy of your own steam room.
The viewing will be an interesting ride for the likes of Penn. Well into the first couple of segments, he'll be chanting, "yes you can, yes you can." After all, the story of the poor there is indeed presented as a more that a bit troubling, and certainly there is much truth to be found in life. Then, Along comes Hugo Chavez. He is to be the answer to all the people's prayers.
As the show progresses, the truths are presented, piece by piece. Hugo Chavez is on a path of a wanna be dictator.
For Penn's eyes, this is a mass opposition rally to Hugo Chavez in Caracas, Venezuela before the 2006 election. Needless to say, our national media doesn't like to flash these pictures in front of their audience. Even so, the BBC flashed - "tens of thousands," in the march. Crowd size does matter, you see.
Come on here - tens of thousands, not 1 1/2 to 2 million people? Remember the 75-90,000 person crowd in Berlin for Obama's speech, where the MSM couldn't get enough of calling it 210,000?
The MSM and the likes of Sean Penn, and his other radical under educated friends in Hollywood, would like for us all to believe that there is little oppostion to Chavez. Oh, if only we'd just go down there, we could see. Well, see the pictures? There is mass opposition to Hugo Cavez, the dictator that he has become.
Here's yet another look at Venezuela; how it's changed under Hugo Chavez:
And last fall, in capitals across Latin America, protests were held in oppostion to Hugo Chavez. Here's a shot from Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Not surprisingly, few in the US would hear of such protests.

It's straight forward, nothing suspicious about it at all. Keep feeding this guy and he'll never go away - just like a stray dog.
