Sean Penn On The Death Of His Main Homegirl Hugo Chavez

here's the score kids , any world leader that is not ready to allow the US oil companies rape you of your land and wealth , while allowing your nation to be a casino / tourist attraction / whorehouse for US franchises is labeled a "terrorist" Chavez was not perfect but he did put Bush and Co and the old boys club on blast and for that I thank him.

*******

^ This!

Every other freakin' oil company except Citgo (Exxon, Chevron, etc..) refused to work with charities to provide cheap heating oil for the US poor.

And Chavez wasn't throwing shade at the US until Bush and Co basically supported the business elites behind the the 2002 failed coup d'etat against him.

Uli - I thank The Powers That Be for Rush Limbaugh every day and now more than ever, and I'm STILL offended by some of his stances, lol. I certainly hope one of those Obama drones doesn't find its way over his head. Love him.

PFK

I don't get the opportunity lately but listening to Rush and my true love, Walter Williams, was always a real treat for me.

When i was in my 20s, i was a liberal like my parents and then one day i listened to Rush and was so angry and offended but i kept listening mainly to find fault with his thinking. After a month, i realized what I had been missing and that was the truth. I grew up believing propaganda until my thinking was exposed to common sense and logic. I am grateful to Mr. Limbaugh whom is a great American and thinker.

Which points? I made a lot of them, lol.

I admit, the only other time I listened to NPR news after I swore never again with that American Cunt Living In Brazil was a story concerning the BP oil spill where another American Cunt Living On The Gulf whined smugly in that slow, calm, creaky voice about evil oil companies while the pans and dishes clattered as background noise in the kitchen of her restaurant RUN ENTIRELY ON OIL, haha. Not one word about Obama's Hundred Days of Golf during that time, or his rejection of the offered help from other countries experienced in oil spills (gotta protect those union donors!), or his moratorium on AMERICAN oil drillers in the Gulf but not Chinese or Mexican or BRITISH PETROLEUM drillers! Ha ha again. Not a word about the $10B dollars of OUR MONEY he gave to the Brazilian oil company Petrogras while the BP oil was still gushing so that they could do some deep sea oil exploration off the pristine South American coast (along with the permission he gave that very same oil company to put an EXPERIMENTAL oil storage tank in OUR GULF COAST WATERS). Btw, Georgie Soros happens to have had $900,000,000 invested in Petrogras at the time. Again ha ha. Obama is not a President. He is not for the American people. He is a purely political animal, an agenda driven America-hating marxist political animal with the soul of a megalomaniacal dictator and only our Constitution standing in his way, which hasn't stopped him from shitting all over it at least once a week.

I told TR to pick up a news source that has, or s/he thinks has, a different world view than hers. I never once belittled her intelligence. A person's willful ignorance is a different matter, though. Btw, not one bit of my rant came from info provided by Glenn Beck *(but a lot of this one did, actually)*. I haven't heard much from him since he left Fox. But I do listen to Rush when I can and the absolute best callers are the minorities that see the Democrats for exactly what they are. They are Wisdom personified. Who knows, maybe TelevisedRevolution can join their ranks.

*edit*

PFK.. Really? Did you really tell TR to pick up a book?
You don't agree with her position and the best you can do
Is question her intellect and sources. :::: because Glen
Beck never lies:::turn in you debate team letter at the desk.
BTW.. The very wild and crazy NPR was backing your points up today..
Take your own advice. No reason to get sloppy.

Now is the time. You're not promised tomorrow. -PR

No TR, I know I don't have all the answers, and I know Nobody Else does either. But Nobody Else really needs to know that, too. Pick up a fucking newspaper or go to a fucking website that has a different world view than you once in a while. Stop exposing yourself only to things you want to believe. I'm not asking you to agree with everything you see but at least read from news sources that not only use the straightforward facts when reporting current events, but news sources that are reporting current events at all, something you obviously are not getting at this time. In the last few days there has been several well respected 'liberal' journalists that have blown the whistle on the pressure this White House puts on them to ignore inconvenient truths or outright lie for the Obama administration. Now Bob Woodward is the devil incarnate for Christ's sake, along with being an over-the-hill hack and senile to boot! What does that tell you?

Witness haima's comment. Bush and Blair did not kill 1,500,000 Iraqis. The Islamic terrorist insurgents did. Has haima ever read just one story with an Iraqi who was grateful for American soldiers? Did all of those Iraqis who showed up to elect their first President despite terrorist threats hate Bush and Blair? What resources did America steal from Iraq? Did we conquer Iraq? Is Iraq ours now?

Don't our oil companies pay for the privilege of extracting oil in foreign nations? Don't they pay taxes and provide jobs for the locals who will also pay taxes? Don't they provide technology that those countries don't have or can't afford, technology that is far safer for the environment than an oil rich/cash poor country can provide for itself? Don't we fucking PAY GOOD MONEY for any resources our country needs while providing the technology and jobs those countries need? And Chavez is a hero for stealing them! After all of the money invested, not one dime of it his! How well are they being run now?

Does Knative's comment show that s/he used any kind of intellectual curiosity at all in gathering that information, or does it just sound like something somebody told him? Notice that the names Lyndon Johnson, FDR, and Woodrow Wilson are missing. What does that tell you? America - oh, excuse me, the U.S.A. - is not perfect but at least be aware of the whole picture and know the circumstances and history of events.

pfk - it must be reassuring to have al of the answers. nobody else does.

God don't like ugly.

Ha Ha TelevisedRevolution, that's exactly the way the statists (read: Democrats and progressives) do it here in American ghettos. The Chavez's of the world don't "raise" anyone out of poverty. They do not create equal opportunity that must then be exploited by the individual's own initiative, talents, work ethic, creativity, and intelligence. The Chavez's of the world instead lower everybody down into poverty by stealing from those who worked to earn their own futures and then taking a huge chunk for themselves and their supporters before redistributing the crumbs to an underclass that just keeps getting bigger and bigger the longer these parasites are in power.

With each passing generation the members of the underclass believe less and less in their ability to survive on their own (thriving is an incomprehensible concept) without big daddy government there to provide, yet what big daddy provides becomes less and less because who is going to work their ass off just to have a mediocre leech who can't compete ala Hugo take it for himself? None of these assholes would be able to exist and maintain power WITHOUT the HUGE underclass THEY create.

As far as Latin American racism - GASP! Who knew?! I remember listening to some American cunt living in Brazil on NPR right after 9/11/01. She talked in that extremely irritating voice that all NPR guests have (sloooow, caaaalm, creaking, with just the right touch of liberal smugness) of how ashamed she was to be American, how we deserved 9/11, and of how contemptuously Brazilians felt towards the U.S. This from an American bitch in a country with no middle class (the class that births innovation), favelas of dark-skinned people as far as the eye can see, street kids murdered in cold blood by law enforcement officials, and a magnificent rain forest being ravaged by nobody else but Brazilians. Oh, and the extremely poor peasants who are doing the actual ravaging for those super rich Brazilian robber barons (but friends of the government!) are supplied their very own very young, indigenous-to-the-Amazon sex slaves! Let's not forget about that bit of national nobility!

You guys, stop being so mean to Chavez! He took, like, 2 , minute cold showers to save water! He was on a mission to save the planet! God bless his decaying cancer ridden vessel for a rotten soul. <3

TBH - the problem with Sean Penn sleeping in a tent on and off for a year - and I'll admit I was impressed with his charity work in Haiti even though I knew it only came after he was called out on his years of all-talk-no-action smears of blaming America and Americans and in particular his "meant for the express purpose of Bush-bashing" Katrina photo op - is that the very dictators he worships are the ones responsible for countries like Haiti.

Furthermore, Obama "promised" $2B toward earthquake relief in that country and the last I heard not a cent of it ever got there. This is most likely because Obama knows all he has to do is say something that sounds compassionate and that will be the end of it. After all, what can Haitians do for him? But does Sean Penn ever mention it? No, though who knows, maybe both Sean and Obama realized that since the little despot in charge of Haiti became homeless along with the rest of "his people", it would have been an impossible feat for him to pocket all those funds with no pocket to stick them in. Or maybe Sean sees that exact amount of money going to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt for the upcoming year - leaders he and Obama obviously admire and identify with - in spite of the fact that Americans are going through a sequester right now that, according to leaked WH memos, is *going* to target those things which will cause as much pain to Americans as possible while shining the light of blame on the Republicans. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Penn is capable of being quite pleased with that strategy.

*edit*

Penn's a red-diaper baby. A useful idiot for marxist dictators. Those who suffered most from chavez were the people of his country. He did export terrorism around south america as he was able.

Penn seems like he can barely contain his hate, his inner torment that he pretends arises from politics.

I think it's INSANE that the left or the right cannot condemn their fucked up extremeist...No, it's all about towing the line and being a fuckin' pigeon.

**********************************
Sorry, Roger, you are tiger now...

The only thing more disturbing and creepier than Sean Penn being himself is when Sean Penn smiles and says something positive and is nice.

Its not plastic surgery , its a medical condition!!

Here's the Slate/Hitchens link. I thought Slate was extremely progressive so Mayo's link is a surprise. At least I'm pretty sure they're in on the round table meetings with tax-payer subsidized Media Matters and the rest of the liberal journalistic "sources" when the Obama administration calls to tell them what to cook up for the next day's "news". Oh, btw, Hitchens, who I like and respect, actually liked and respected George W. Bush. He defended him all the time, especially in regards to Iraq.

It helps to be logged in. No pre-moderation; occasional post-moderation when someone makes trouble.

Sean Penn is an entitled, Malibu brat. He has no idea what it must be like for Venezuelans. I have a friend whose fiance is from Venezuela. He helped her family move out of the country. To be forced from your homeland SUCKS.

Bush is way worse than Chavez. Yes, I agree. Even Barack is doing worse things than Chavez did in order to fight terrorism, see his drone program.
I don't think Chavez is a dictator or a hero, just a politician, but it's not like his rule was worse than what came before it. We just didn't hear about how bad it was in Venezuela before Chavez because the media ignored it because the Venezuelans in charge fell in line with what the US wanted in the country. It's not like these left wing populist movements came out of a vacuum. All those horrible dictatorships in Latin America in the 70s and 80s had US support. I mean, what happened in Argentina was torture torture torture, with tens of thousands of people disappeared, and those people were trained by the US military and got military support. And then what happened in Guatemala? That was fucking genocide against the Indians. Hundreds of thousands dead, and stupid Ronald Reagan was giving them a shit ton of support. It seems dubious to me when Americans badmouth other countries like America's doesn't stink, because it does. That's not to say I don't think Chavez deserves criticism. I think he went about things in a way stupid way, and was terribly terribly paranoid, which happens after someone tries to kill you in a coup. As for Sean Penn? Yes. He's a mega asshole.

Thanks for what you've written in ^this comment.
It really makes me cry - and that's not a hyperbole - that most people, especially Americans, don't realize the crimes western Governments commited and are still committing.

I know he's sad, but there's plenty of despots left in the world, so not to worry. Robert Mugabe and Omar al-Bashir called and they totally want to get together for a beer.

Sean Penn needs to just stick to what he's good at. Play-acting and drinking. Good riddance, Hugo Chavez. Don't let the door smack you on the ass.

All I can say about this controversial man - controversial but not as evil as many love to picture him* - is that I can see the western lobbies trying to steal the resources of Venezuela from now on, again.
May the country and the people be safe from foreign attempts to bring "democracy" down there.

*Bush and Blair killed 1.500.000 people in Iraq and nobody calls them genocidal pricks. But that's fine, they were trying to import democracy in the Middle East, right?*

Well, let's send him to North Korea so he can find a new buddy in Kim Jong. Although Hugo probably had the best coke and nastiest whores, and Kim Jong looks like he'd be really socially awkward and want to play a thrilling game of Scrabble with you.
....................................
LOL! Totally. He'd also make you listen to stories like "when my father invented the hamburger he was on the course revolutionizing the game of golf"

=================================
Unfortunately, Dennis Rodman beat Sean to the friend game in NK.

I hope the FBI or CIA has a nice big file on Sean Penn.

and for yet another perspective, from Jamila Aisha Brown:

"As Venezuela’s first multiracial president, Hugo Chávez Frías broke the mold of wealthy European descended oligarchical by rising to power from the nation’s mixed race working class majority in 1999. Many regard Chávez as the first Latin American president to proudly embrace indigenous and African ancestry, thereby breaking the racist paradigm of power and imperialism in the region. In an interview with Democracy Now on September 20, 2005, he stated:

“When we were children, we were told that we have a motherland, and that motherland was Spain. However, we have discovered later, in our lives, that as a matter of fact, we have several motherlands. And one of the greatest motherlands of all is no doubt, Africa. We love Africa… And I’m so proud to have this mouth and this hair, because it’s African.”

Perhaps it was this pride that led President Chávez, El Comandante, to promote some of the most racially progressive programs in this hemisphere.
African descendants in Latin America comprise approximately 26 percent (150 million) of the total population, but represent nearly 50 percent of its poor. Whereas the region has made steady gains in the alleviation of poverty in Black communities through national and international programs such as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, Venezuela has experienced a remarkable turnaround.

Prior to the Bolivarian movement, the status of Afro Venezuelans largely resembled others in the region that were subjected to historic racial and economic discrimination; the redistribution of oil revenues into social programs cut Venezuela’s poverty from 55% in 1995 to 26.4% in 2009. Halving the poverty rate has left an indelible impact Black communities who for the first time had regular access to free education, healthcare and guaranteed housing thanks to the implementation of Chávez’s Social Missions."

i don't live in Venezuela, so I don't know how to interpret all the conflicting things that i am reading. But i do know the only Venezuelans I have met came from the upper class and were pretty deeply racist in their actions/attitudes towards me. But I can't say I have met a representative sample.

Chavez was certainly a mixed-bag. THe possibilities for real economic and social revolution looked, from afar, to be very promising. How much he was truly able to deliver for his people is something I don't feel like I have the info to really assess.

Given what I know about race, class and economics in Central and South America, and the US's brutal interference in those countries, I'm withholding judgement.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
God don't like ugly.

Penn & Danny Glover will probably be pall bearers for this one...representing the "loony left".
Venezuela inexplicably mourns the loss of this idiot Chavez.

Sean is a great actor. Human Being? Not so much.

This would make a pretty good buddy movie. I'm thinking Bradley Cooper as Sean Penn and Adam Sandler as Hugo Chavez.

Obviously, Sean Penn living in a tent for a year helps hims understand the plight of the poor. Especially when he had food and clean water whenever he wanted, he knew both he and his family were safe, and he could leave whenever he wanted. Hell, he was better off than most of the Haitians because he had the luxury of a tent. Give me a fucking break.

Whats funny is celebtards like Penn never probably picked up a damn good to learn a little about how history and politics works yet they think their smarts and shit dont stink. You're an entertainer, not fucking Einstein.

Shut up, Sean. You are paid to pretend. Nobody cares about your political views.

Penn is an ass.

Being poor is not knowing what tomorrow will bring when you can barely get through the day.

Living in tent when you can leave at any time to go use your $$$acct is called camping.

He knows he will have an autobiography and an old peoples career like Jane Fonda...screw him.

i don't know about chavez too much but what i do know is that he donated massive amounts of home heating oil/funds to at least this region of the us for years in partnership with joe kennedy.

Sean Penn loves dictators so much, he is morphing into one. Look at his face, all he needs is a tiny moustache and he is a dead ringer for Hitler!

BTW, read a reprint of an old Christopher Hitchens article today about visiting Chavez with Sean Penn. Hitch was hilarious, showing how detached from reality Chavez was, and what a dupe Penn is. In Slate today if you want a fun read.

A VERY little bit. It's a lot easier to live in a tent and play at being poor when you know you have millions and mansions to go back to when you get tired of camping. That knowledge trumps the despair, uncertainty and fear that a REAL poor person feels.

Oh, honey try a LIFETIME of being poor, one year ISN'T SHIT. He doesn't know what its like living in Venezuela or the hard time us venezuelans have had in this dictadorship.
