Sean Penn was interviewed by Bill Maher about Haiti. Maher asked him about his friend Hugo Chavez. Penn rambled about the great things Chavez have done for the 80% who have no dreams, he didn’t make a whole lot of sense, but it’s clear what he wants to happen to those who criticize Hugo Chavez.
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.
Isn’t it funny? Now that we have a socialist president Penn feels the need to defend the US.
(Quote starts at about the 7:00 mark.)
Newsbusters points out how many times the main stream media in the US has characterized Chavez as a thug dictator.Let’s just say, it isn’t that often. I guess straight up, unbiased news reports are enough to lead one to believe Chavez is a thug.
If Hugo Chavez is so great, why doesn’t Sean Penn move to Venezuela? Why doesn’t Sean Penn go live in any of the communist countries he loves so much?
