Sean Penn's Rant at the Oscars

I don't care how good of an actor he supposedly may be. I still can't stand Sean Penn.

I knew that if he won an Oscar on Sunday night, he would, as usual, use his platform as a public figure to spout political nonsense whether we want to hear his drivel or not.

And he certainly didn't disappoint or surprise anyone when he launched into his mindless blather about what a prince of a man the country just elected to the White House, followed by a string of insults aimed at those who voted against gay marriage in California.

Penn is one of the reasons I hate the Oscars. I have never really enjoyed watching a single one since the mid 1980s. It seems to me that the entire lot is dominated by leftwing loony-'toons coo-coo clocks who feel that the country wants to hear what they have to say about politics simply because they know how to memorize what somebody else wrote.

I don't want to hear it, period. Penn is a bastard, and I don't care to hear a word about what he thinks concerning the Socialist in the White House or his support for gay 'marriage.' I have just about had it with all of that politically correct horseshit.

That "socialist in the white house" happens to be against "gay marriage", at least that is what we are told. I don't watch the oscars for the same reason as you, L.S. The thing about all those lefties to me is that they are so intolerent in their intolerence. It is never ok for them just to live and let live. I won't see the movie but I do wonder how much in character Sean Penn had to get.

The Oscars have been boring since John Wayne died.

Ha! Can't argue with you there, Rusty. John Wayne was 'da man!'

It makes sense for a guy who makes a movie about gay activism and wins an award for it to talk about that same issue in his speech.
I know conservatives prefer willful ignorance, but your attack is off-base. It made perfect sense for him to talk about it, especially at this point in history. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Otherwise, sit down and shut up.

I know you won't let this post go up, but at least you'll have to read it first.

No, it only makes sense for an actor who wins an award to talk about how grateful he/she is for the honor...and to make the necessary thanks to those who helped with the film.
