Coitus Interruptus: Sean Penn's Kucinich Speech at SFSU

Interesting that you state that the sign "incorrectly" states that Penn supports America's enemies. Why is that incorrect? Penn consistently travels the world praising dictators who are openly hostile to the United States. Hugo Chavez is just the most recent example. The editors may like Hugo Chavez but there is not doubt that Chavez hates the United States (though he is happy to have host Penn and other dupes).

So, as president of the silly ass silent sign holding Republicans for whatever - who exactly does that little furry twink expect people to vote for? Rudy? Fine upstanding character he. It will be interesting to see who he endorses.

Ahhhh...blanket statements about whom hates America. The intelligence here is breathtaking. By that I mean you SFBurke, your name sums you up perfectly.

correction...What's important is that YOU'RE talking about what we did and not what Sean Penn was saying.

I dont care to debate politics, you've already served my purposes. No one is posting Sean Penn's speech as seen on the Kucinich youtube channel, they're posting videos of me holding up a sign and some sucker coming up to tear it down. Like i said....Mission Accomplished.

A couple of replies:

Brock: Chavez's rhetoric is not limited to being anti-Bush; he has repeatedly condemned the United States, its economic systems, its historic influence in Latin America etc. Just because you agree with him when he speaks about Bush, doesn't mean you shouldn't pay attention to the other things he says.

Fizzandpop: I didn't make any blanket statements. I merely said that Chavez was anti-american and that Penn had supported other anti-american rulers. If you care to refute that please do so. Otherwise, it is you who looks rather unintelligent.

I think he was going for the "Say Anything" effect to the cute boy in the back of the auditorium. Maybe he could have held up a boom box and played some Peter Gabriel instead. It worked in the movie ya know...

that may be true, but i would never have watched a sean penn speech at all without this, and i was pretty much only here to watch how hilarious it was when taken with brock's lurid description of the subtext. if your mission is to sway people to your ideology actin like a jackass aint really gonna cut it.

"if your mission is to sway people to your ideology actin like a jackass aint really gonna cut it."

You mean like the way leftists act on a regular basis? Rushing stages, pieing speakers in the face, chanting loudly while people are trying to speak. I I want you to openly condemn the students who ruined the CR event earlier this semester at SFSU with signs and wild shouting and then i'll be able to take you serioulsy, until then, you're just another hypocrit driven by blind allegienace to your ideology.

i'm not going to debate the politics of this, but i'm confused. how come the guy who confronts mr. wolf gets escorted out by the security guard but mr. wolf gets to stick around? seems to me they were both disrupting the speech, yea?

(oh no! is the security guard in cahoots with the republicans?!)

i should mention that i don't have sound on my computer here at work. am i missing something?

sure! well, i don't presume to be in a position to "condemn" anyone, but i'd certainly agree that those guys are acting like morons too. i'm not sure if anybody ever changed someone's mind about a political thing by getting in their face and being disruptive, at least not in the last 20-30 years. and by all means, you don't have to take me seriously either, i just call 'em like i see 'em.

Thanks for spotligihting Seans endoresement of Congressman Kucinich. AS for the closet case with the poster in hand. Call me.....

You all seem to be under the presumption that negative attention is something we're not used to and will somehow impact future activities. The words "douchebag" "closet case" and "arrogant asshole" are common adjectives that describe myself and the club. Unfortunately for our adversaries who live in the world of 8th grade name calling as a means to achieve political ends, we couldn't possibly care less what you think. Our club is wildly successful BECAUSE people like you insist on living up to the stereotypes of radical San Franciscans.

Zippy monster, daithi, gttim, pancake breakfast and the rest...keep it up, the survival of our movement depends on it.

Brock, you really ought to give Leigh all the attention he deserves, which is to say none.

Fizzandpop: Apparently you don't understand what a "blanket statement" is. I attributed a specific position to a specific person. No blankets there. It is apparent that your advice on outlets has been learned from (repeated) bad experiences.

Leigh Wolf won't engage in actual political conversation because he can't. He's literally incapable of conversing on an adult level without playing the role of victim. He's said as much himself in this thread, and that attention grabbing stunts and O'Reilly-like rhetoric are his true aim. Well said, Wolf. Mission accomplished indeed.

I don't think that Republican boy was cute at all. But that Kucinich supporter who confronted him ... ooh, so damn fine! And that moment when they had their arms clapsed together ... hot.
