Celebrity Feuds
Penn's Co-Star - Imbecile on Politics

Maria Conchita Alonso, who co-starred with Sean Penn way back in 1988's "Colors," went off on Penn in a way we've rarely seen -- basically saying he's a moron when it comes to politics -- especially his support of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The Cuban born actress was raised in Venezuela and says Chavez is a "killer."

47. TMZ, did you write that headline correctly? It sounds like you are calling Maria Conchita Alonzo an imbecile. And I doubt that's what you meant to say.

48. This 2 bit, has been, no talent FAT actress needs to shut her face. Not only is she the typical stereotype of an uneducated latin american person but she hasn't lived in cuba or venezuela for DECADES. Not only is Hugo Chavez a hero to the peasants of his country but he is a symbol of change in a world that licks at the tit of the US for a drop of milk.

If any of you would take the time out to actually READ REAL NEWS SOURCES instead of just reading TMZ you'd find that Chavez has accomplished a great deal more for the country than it's previous corrupt politicians.

Further more, how dated is it when you people call Penn a "commie"? Not sure if any of you people noticed but under the Bush administration there were a bit of laws that were circumvented to benefit the country and take civil liberties away from the people. Bush went to war and then decided to ignore the people when we started saying, no more war. He ran this country EXACTLY like a COMMUNIST DICTATOR. The only difference being that he didn't kill people locally, he killed them overseas. Innocent mothers, fathers and children suffered and continue to suffer because of him.

You people are all blind sheep who need to wake up and read Noam Chomskly. To paraphrase him in the dumbest of fashions so you all understand, IT'S OK FOR THE U.S. TO COMMIT ATROCITIES BUT IT'S NOT OK FOR ANYONE ELSE....EXCEPT FOR OUR ALLIES LIKE THAT JEW STATE ISRAEL WHO GET TO INVADE GAZA AND KILL IT'S INHABITANTS TO TAKE THEIR LAND.

You people should be castrated and made to watch your children be castrated too.

50. i have to agree with Maria Conchita. Penn is an amazin' actor, as a matter of fact MY favourite actor but he has no idea what really goes on with Chavez in Venezuela, so he should keep his mouth shout about it or educate himself more.

51. SO GLAD someone finally called him out on this - especially someone who is MUCH more familiar with Chavez's true politics than Penn was after a brief visit. I think he's an incredible actor, and I consider myself a bit of a lefty too - but his support for Chavez and reasons behind it were so utterly blind to the truth, he just bought into the propaganda without questioning or being critical at all. That is the definition of stupid politics, and is NO DIFFERENT than the sheep who supported GW Bush. Chavez is a killer, and desires a totalitarian government. If Penn loves him so much, why on earth doesn't he just move to the socialist paradise of Venezuela??

52. I wish that Pinko Commy wimp Sean Penn would just move to a Communist country so he can enjoy what he loves so much!

53. She is completely correct. Penn is either a fool for his political beliefs or an evil psychotic bent on the destruction of individual liberties. He has said glowing things about both Castro and Chavez while reviling our leaders. Either he does not realize that Castro is a mass murderer who has thrown people in jail for the crime of practicing their religion, or disagreeing with him or he is an evil sadist who would see us all bend to dictatorship. Either he does not realize that Chavez has begun stealing all of Venezuela's private property and using it to increase his own power and wealth or Penn is a mooching sycophant who would impress his will upon the rest of us without care for our personal convictions. I personally believe Sean Penn to be a malicious fool.

54. Sean Penn is a typica liberal idiot who finds insulting America is a popular thing to do in Hollywood. Like Washington DC, Hollywood has lost touch with the American people. Their livelyhood depends on those they insult and disrespect.

55. SHE'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!
Obama is Chavez Lite, he's the next Castro, he would have been Stalin's butt boy if only Josef were still alive.
We're so incredibly screwed, America, it's not funny.

56. She is 100% right.

57. She is correct of course. Apparently the political deep thinkers at TMZ who could not find Venezuela on a map don't like her or her politics.

58. As a reminder as to who Hugo Chavez is : Chavez has Nationalized (Owns) the Media , Natural resources , the Police Force, Enternainment,Etc, In 2007 Chavez stated in a speech that Jews 'Owned all the World's Wealth' , In 2006 Chavez called Catholic leaders 'Liars' & 'Perverts', Chavez claims he owns coutries outside venezuela (like Colombia), Chavez has a Violent & Bigoted political group called the 'Chavistas', Chavez is a Dictator and rules by 'Decree', Chavez changed the flag & time zone, Chavez has laws against political speech and Jailed or Elimated his political oppoenents and protesters (or as many as he can get away with), Chavez is considered South american 1st fascist leader , ,Etc. AND One Other Thing (To Sean Penn) Chavez is ANTI Gay----

59. This megalomaniac Chavez is indeed destroying Venezuela. Maria Conchita Alonso is absolutely right. Sean Penn went to Venezuela to give good PR to Chavez, and Chavez used him as his stooge just like Saruman used Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings.

60. SEAN PENN IN 1985 BEAT UP HIS WIFE BADLY, (MADONNA) , AND SHE EVENTUALLY DID NOT PRESS CHARGES BUT SHE DIVORCED HIM. SEAN PENN HAS BECAME FRIENDS WITH VIOLENT DICTATOR HUGO CHAVEZ (& Yes Fascist , even by other Socialist leaders). Sean Penn ,also, Visted Saddan Hussein & Iran Leaders , all of whom are ANTI - Gay. My Point is Violence & Hate seem to be within Mr. Penn own personality ?
