Remember when he was dating Madonna and punching cameramen?

Or, better yet, remember “Bad Boys?” Those were the days. Now we get “please give me an Oscar” masturbation like Milk and fucking I am Sam.

I have another question
Doesn’t he know that if it were not for the greatness of this nation that he would be nothing but street trash.

So, presumably, it is your contention, Aaron, that if Sean Penn were Australian, or Danish, or Indian, that the apex of his professional life would consist of seeing eye dogs and a can full of pencils?

Penn is an idiot just like Danny Glover and Oliver Stone. They think two-bit dictators are great human beings because they welcome them into propaganda photos and let them stay at their palaces. Meanwhile the infrastructure of their nations is crumbling, liberty is evaporating, and they’re lining their pockets with money and power. Fuck them all.

not trying to get into a political discussion,

but I find it so odd that many liberals who hated Bush for, among many reasons, consolidating power into the executive branch think a megalomaniac dictator in Venezuela is the next best thing after Obama.

I'm a liberal and I can't stand Chavez

I don’t think he’s as bad as some of my neocon friends think (one cited the possibility of a Latin Nuke as reason to demonize him). Consolidating power into an executive and removing term limits is a very bad precedent and it doesn’t matter who does it. Oh and while I like Penn’s politics generally, the guy is still a prick. Love the art; hate the artist.

As a liberal living abroad in South America (admittedly not in Venezuela)… fuck Chavez.

by vfn on Mar 12, 2010 9:37 PM CST up reply actions  

Well

At the end of the day, the true far left wants to consolidate power into the executive branch, as well. They just want it to be economic power, rather than the police/security power that was the focus of the Bush Administration.

That being said, I think that the majority of folks viewed as liberals take a dim view of Chavez. He’s like Castro was in the 70s…a guy that some on the American fringe left lionize, but who is not widely embraced.

but I agree...

It is ironic that power consolidated in the executive by the Rove/Bush Admin will come back to haunt the right, just as it is ironic that liberal hatred of the recent Texas Board of Education actions will lend support to the school voucher/charter schoolers.

If you believe in democracy

you have to recognize that sometimes you will get a guy like Chavez elected, or you will get Hamas elected.

Personally, I don’t think it says much for America’s belief in democracy when we plan assassination or push for regime change of democratically elected leaders like Allende or Chavez.

by DJCahill on Mar 13, 2010 6:33 AM CST up reply actions  

Obviously there are differences.

But either you are for the right of self determination or you aren’t.

There isn’t much evidence that if Chavez went up again for another vote he wouldn’t win again.

The Venezuelan people have picked their poison, it’s their problem, not ours.

by DJCahill on Mar 13, 2010 8:21 AM CST up reply actions  

My point

Was that there reasons that a country like the United States would not want certain people in power, and it has nothing to do with its belief in democracy. Countries are worried about their own interests.

by brettgardner on Mar 13, 2010 8:30 AM CST up reply actions  

So we should have the right

to determine how other countries are governed? I know that thinking was big with 30s Germany, but I’m not sure our imperialism pays big dividends for the US in the long run.

Fundamentally, whether we like them in power or not, we have to concede that their people elected them, and presumably do want them in power.

by DJCahill on Mar 13, 2010 8:47 AM CST up reply actions  

OK

That could all be correct and it still doesn’t bear on anybody’s belief in democracy, which is all I was responding to.

Your premise is false, Randy

Only a few wackos think that. The 911 truther type of idiots.

I have heard that theory spouted a few times on Fox news, though. One of Hannity and O’Reilly’s talking points.
