Uber A-list actor's actor, Sean Penn has been disturbed by recent remarks conservatives have made about liberal activists - Hollywood liberals in particular, says a close Penn pal.
One conservative blogger recently posted an opinion that is said to have been the catalyst for Penn's current indignation. The piece, in part, reads: "It seems that while the Jew-controlled, freedom hating, floating artists' colony that is Tinseltown is quite happy to bash our President and ridicule our way of life, they seem ill-prepared for any critical remarks aimed in their direction."
Indeed, when Chris Rock poked fun of winsome and ubiquitous movie star, Jude Law, at the 2005 Oscars, it was Sean Penn who icily chided Rock by calling Law "one of our finest actors".
Spicy stuff, indeed.
The friend quoted Penn as having said, "When we make a movie calling the President nothing short of a mass-murder, or the Vatican the equivalent of the Mafia, or take the opportunity to address environmental issues while hyping our latest comic book-derived summer blockbuster that's just us exercising our rights for free speech and embracing our roles as social critics. But when somebody goes online and says something about Me, they've crossed the line".
Penn, currently on location in Vancouver shooting "I Told You I was Sad" - a film in which he plays an emotionally stunted Canadian acrobat with polio - could not be reached for comment.
