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."

61. Yeah Maria! I grew up in Venezuela and Chavez's Venezuela is not the Venezuela that I grew to love. Many of our friends still live in this country and the situation is worse than what the media reports. This guy is the next Sadam. Boycott anything and everything than Sean Penn is apart of! He is a loser.

62. Why is TMZ calling her the imbecile? She's the one who had to live under Chavez's rule, so she'd know better than anyone else the kind of hell it is. Sean Penn plays around with dictators & murderes for the attention and Hollywood appeal. Whether he actually believes this stuff is up to you to figure out. My guess is that he's doing it because you have to be anti-capitalist & anti-establishment in Hollywood to get work. What better way to do that than to cozy up to murderous dictators?
Then again, I doubt he's smart enough to pull off a stunt like that.

63. SEAN PENN BEAT UP HIS WIFE, MADONNA, BADLY IN 1985 , But She DIVORCED Him instead of pressing Charges , so maybe it Makes Sense that This Wife Beater Sean Penn would Hang around VIOLENT DICATORS Like Hugo CHAVEZ.
Note: Hugo Chavez is also Anti-Gay---

64. Shut your piehole you fat ugly peon, you should be a motel maid giving handjobs for $2 like your mama. Aren't all your relatives in prison?

67. Anyone remember when Sadam Hussein welcomed Penn with open arms? I seem to remember Sadam saying that Penn found no WMD and that proved Iraq was didn't have any. Penn probably helped bury them...

68. Why does anyone listen to anything an actor has to say about politics or social issues? They (generally) aren't well educated, aren't informed, and haven't put any thought or research into the topics of which they speak. All they have is a camera and microphone in their face. We don't want to know their uninformed opinions. We want them to act and entertain us. That's all.

69. So the gal who was born and raised in the country knows LESS about the situation than Sean Penn?
TMZ, I like your photos and gossip, but stay outta politics.
Sean Penn is a total idiot.
Maria knows the score. God, I wouldn't let Sean Penn take my damn garbage out to the dumpster...he'd f it up, I am sure.

70. Okay - I am a true, true, trueeeeeeee swing voter here. A complete independant because I agree with both sides on certain issues (social issues - liberal, economic issues - conservative) and I am not an Obama fan but that isn't the issue here.. The issue is that Penn seems to support brutal dictators like Chavez.. What is with these Hollywood actors? I know a lot of them are barely educated and only know how to memorize lines and then speak them but geesh.. if you're ill informed about a subject then shut the hell up!

Sean Penn is an idiot and he's been known to be a total, arrogant a-hole on film sets, to the media and to his fans (what little fanbase he still has)..... he's an extremely self-absorbed, arrogent jerk.

And I agree with Maria Alonzo 100%..

71. Unless you have lived or have someone living under Chavez's dictatorship, they should just shut up...he is a cruel, heartless, crazy devil who has turned my beautiful country into a sad, struggling, unstable "republica bolivariana" as he calls it, who's people are hurting, loosing the country they have worked so hard to build...someone mentioned that he was elected democratically by the people of Venezuela...yes he was elected my dead great grandmother who has been dead for 50 years, they put all the registered voters on the newspaper and her name and ID# were there., this is not the only cheating he has done in the forsaken 10 years in office. Thank you Conchita for mentioning this, I am sad that it was on TMZ and not in the nightly world news, people need to know what can happen when you don't pay attention to your country's politics. I do not have an opinion on Sean Penn, if it isn't him, it would be another ignorant soul.

72. Sean Penn's father was blacklisted (rightfully so) back in the day and Sean has never gotten over it. Forever the victim. so now he embraces all things leftist and Commie like his father. Keeping on the tradition I guess. Next will be a trip to Cuba to meet Castro and company! He is the male Jane Fonda!

73. Well, she's completely right. Chavez is a killer. And Sean Penn's a good actor, but should be more interested in his films than in foreign politics... I dont think he's lived in South America, especialy Venezuela, to have such a strong opinion about Chavez.

74. Sean Penn is the male version of Rosie O'Dumbell. Who gives a rat's butt what the moron thinks ? He's a brain dead actor...who believes his own press. End of story.

75. The sad thing is here that Huga Chavez turned into a Dictator and Killer. Much like every politician he statrted off his carrer as somewhat of a freedom fighter. He was a soldier in the army and faught with his fellow citizens side by side. He was elected on the basis that he was was going to nationalize the oil company in Venezuela so that everyone could benefit from it. He educated the people in the slums and had his own people go into these places to teach the people their rights...it quite facinating that if you go into these places these people can reciete their own constitution. He was removed from office from people who were against him even though he won the election. The people faught to get him back in even taking over the embassy and forcing him back into his rightful spot....but that was when he was first elected its true what they say absolute power currupts absolutely. now he is a shell of the freedom fighter he use to be pushing his will because he has ruled for so long. The current elections in Venezuela has shown that smaller parties are on the rise and pretty soon will push him out of office...Thank God
