Sean Penn: "I love acting, truly my favorite people are actors."

[wyldwolf]

Hugo Chavez. Dennis Kucinich.

1. boo hoo n/t

[Bitwit1234]

2. Do you pee your pants when a movie star speaks I don't

just because they got lucky, and I am sure there are better actors who never got a chance, do they think they can tell people who to vote for and what to do...all these endorsements from both parties and for everybody, don't make no difference. People, with sense, vote their choice and not who people like Penn and Oprah and Clark tell them to.

[Inspired]

3. Let it go

Let Kucinich have this endorsement in peace. It isn't going to mean a thing in the long run so why bother pissing on it?

[wyldwolf]

4. has Kucinich disavowed Penn's statement on Clinton?

"Don't underestimate the damage her poisonous ambition can do to this country."

Sean has decided to enter the fray.

[babylonsister]

5. And his quote is right whether you like it or not. We'd get Boosh-lite. nt

[cali]

6. it's an opinion. he's not an oracle of 'truth'.

Why it's so difficult for grown people to learn the difference between fact or "truth" and opinion, remains something I marvel at. Furthermore, it's an opinion that isn't rooted in fact. Where would she be mini-bush? The environment? no. Civil liberties? That reactionary right wing organization, the ACLU doesn't agree with you or Mr. Penn. Choice? absurd. Judges and justices? No. Tax policy? nope. Even in the area of foreign policy, the reason I won't vote for her in the primary, she differs significantly from bush. I realize you fear that she'll be bush lite if elected, but you don't have much to go on, as far as real evidence. Hey, I fear John Edwards will be more centrist than he's appearing- and I've got his record in the Senate as well as his cozying up to a hedge fund and personally benefitting, to bolster my trepidation.

[wyldwolf]

7. proof?

[babylonsister]

8. You KNOW what the proof is, you've read it here enough.

Google or do a search on Clinton plus:

corporatist and war hawk. Those two issues right there havae convinced me who not
to vote for.

Her selecting audience members and censoring same is very reminiscent to me as well,
as is her inability to admit mistakes. I just cannot stomach the thought of a redux.
Oh, and the dynasty thing bugs me, too.
Finally, her saying anything to get elected, regardless of what she said the day before,
is worrisome. Indecisiveness in a candidate, any candidate, is not attractive, and I
know they can all be accused of that, so don't bother citing anything, but do another
search if you doubt me.
And that's just off the top of my head. Face it, we're never going to agree, and that's
okay, too. :hi:

And for all you Hillaryites who claim a famous person stumping for a candidate, like
Oprah for Obama, means nothing, you're sure making a big deal about Sean Penn. Did you
actually think he'd support Clinton?

[wyldwolf]

9. I know the far left's definition isn't grounded in reality

corporatist and war hawk

How is this Bush lite? :shrug:

Truman was a war hawk. FDR was. JFK was.

The parties have been taking corporate money for decades. Who decided that practice was Bush lite? :shrug:

"Dynasty" is Bush lite? LOL.

[babylonsister]

11. You're right; I should have said 'Boosh-heavy'. She's exhibiting

similar traits to my dismay. :shrug:

[cuke]

12. It's hillarious the way some can't distinguish between facts and opinion

The authoritarian left is so intolerant of dissent and disagreement that they have to misportray their opinions as facts

[babylonsister]

13. Keep laughing; I'm not. nt

[cuke]

14. Not surprised

Authoritarians aren't known for their sense of humor

[wyldwolf]

15. on the other hand, Maybe the traits you mention are Bush imitating Democrats

[sniffa]

10. Mark Penn: "I'm a duplicitous scumbag."

[wyldwolf]

17. sniffa resorts to inventing quotes. Anywhere else but DU that would be called...

... a lie.

[sniffa]

20. ...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

are you sure Mark Penn didn't call himself that?

[wyldwolf]

23. ...

yep.

[stillcool]

16. But...what did he...

want to be in kindergarten? Seems when Sean Penn speaks you listen.

[wyldwolf]

18. who knows? I wonder if he skipped out on important script rehearsals

[stillcool]

21. Why?

why would anyone wonder? Did I miss something?

[wyldwolf]

22. ha ha.

You made a swipe at Hillary with the kindergarten remark. Amazing you missed the Obama reference in my reply.

[stillcool]

24. You are right..

I have no idea what you are talking about. I guess the kindergarten remark got more play than whatever you are referring to...I haven't been keeping up on the he said/she saids. Hence, my confusion about the obsession with Sean Penn. Although actually...I don't understand the obsession with any of these human beings. I'm more obsessed with these..

25. psst! Obama skipped out on important Senate votes

[stillcool]

26. thanks..

I no longer support Obama.

[Snarkturian Clone]

19. Why would ANYONE listen to Sean Penn?

Ever? About ANYTHING?

Just because some celebs are liberals it does not mean that anyone should listen to anything they have to say. Celebrity worship sickens me, whether it be Sean Penn or Oprah Winfrey or John Lennon. Just because people make movies or TV or music that you like does not mean that their opinion matters any more than anyone elses.

27. Big surprise: You hate another person on the left. nm
