Sean Penn - Backlash or Derision?
Biloxi at The Republic of Biloxi on Aug 09 2007 at 9:34 am | Filed under: Free Speech, That's Hollywood!
Actor Sean Penn is firmly planted in the make believe world that many celebrities roam. It is a world devoid of realism and out of touch with the masses. It is a world where the inhabitants mistake the people’s admiration of their work, (acting) for acceptance of every crackpot world view they espouse. It is a place where they can advocate for the masses without actually understanding them and where they can condescend while claiming compassion. In a recent article Sean opines as to how he has experienced “backlash” for expressing his political views, (I say delusions), but somehow he sees it as more respectable than promoting movies; the very vehicle that has brought him an audience for his idiocy.
Somehow he defines political disagreement and free speech as the great unwashed not allowing him to be an American.
“The exemption they make for actors _ because you occupy the position they only dreamed about as a child, you can’t be an American too,” he says. “You don’t get both, because that’s just too much.”
We know he is an American because in Russia he would have been killed for speaking out against the government and in Venezuela where he recently cozied up to Communist wannabe and pseudo dictator Hugo Chavez he would have had his media outfit shut down and “nationalized”.
It is obvious you’re an American Sean, otherwise we wouldn’t be reading your nonsensical ramblings. Self important toads like yourself are marginalized or jailed for their anti-government stances in many of the places you champion over your home country. It’s obvious the Jeff Spicoli role wasn’t entirely an act.
America, welcoming crackpots since 1776.
