Sean Penn Summarizes Anti-Obama Tea Party Sentiment: ‘Can We Just Lynch Him?’

video
» 262 comments

As Occupy Wall Street gains momentum as a global protest movement, many famous faces of the 1% have come out in support of their demands, and, while certainly in more timid fashion than Michael Moore or Russell Simmons, last night actor Sean Penn applauded their efforts in an interview with Piers Morgan– but it was his comments on another movement, the Tea Party, that raised some eyebrows, as he declared he could only see the Tea Party’s goal as, at its core, wanting to “lynch” the President.

RELATED: Russell Simmons: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Want Constitutional Amendment

Asked by Morgan about the protests, he approved and called them an expression of lack of fear. Then he turned and discussed the need for infrastructure in America– that “when you follow a human spirit,” things like the Hoover Dam and roads are essential. This he highlighted with the experience of watching older Mexican couples cross the border to find drugs. He then tied the infrastructure to the demands of people on the right. The Tea Party, small government sentiment, Penn told Morgan, was little more than a “distraction. Calling the Tea Party the “get the n-word out of the White House party,” he argued that their only political goal had nothing to do with any policy initiatives: “at the end of the day,” he explained, “there’s a big bubble coming out of their head saying, ‘you know, can we just lynch him?’”

    Makes sense.

    Of course, my Teabag neighbor says he is angry at Obama for letting sick people with pre-existing conditions buy private insurance in 2013.

    I am not sure I believe him though.

    stop expressing your views Sean and then trying to attribute them to the Tea Party.

  • Irish189

    1. Civil disobedience is not a major infraction so until Occupy Wall St actually starts riots pundits are just being theatrical which gets redundant real fast

    2. Lynch the guy? I will admit that when talking with Tea party members I’ve gotten answers that raise my eyebrows, “Obama’s not a citizen because I saw it on fox news”, I’m not kidding, but to say all of them are at their core bigots who want to hang the president is about as credible as anything said by Sean Hannity, your just not inclined to believe it, there were blatant bigots and racists in the tea party initially which the Tea party claimed they expelled, now is that true? I would at least hope that the majority of america has moved beyond racial bigotry, of course given how crappy the education system is one never knows i suppose.

    3. Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, Wood Stock, etc

    Push comes to shove they’re all a bunch of people who get together to protest something that they believe is screwing them over, is unfair, needs to be addressed, etc. The only differences are the logistics, some are better organized and coherent but the overall principals seem to be the same which is
    “i’m mad about something, I’m not necessarily educated on the issue, and I believe what the pundits say with no question and research of my own”

    People like Penn are perpetrating the modern Salem Witch Trials. Instead of seeing witches everywhere, they see racists. Mostly because they themselves are racist and are projecting their feelings on to those disagree with politically. 

    Whats even more pathetic is that sites like Mediaite and the media, allow and even promote this brand of racism.

    Pretty awesome, Sean. Got to remind people, lest they forget. For some reason the media has been covering the OWS protests egregiously drawing comparisons with the Tea Party. And the TP’ers without a sense of irony reject the comparison and feel disparaged being compared to the purity of these OWS protestors message

    This is what you get when CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, NBC, CBS, ABC, major newspapers, and major blogs all promote the notion that the Tea Party is a racist movement for 2 years.  Just by simply asking the question of whether the Tea Party is racist drives the narrative and you have completely ignorant people like Sean Penn or Morgan Freemen convinced.  It’s disgusting and absurd.  And it is completely the fault of our mainstream media.

    This started out as a demonstration against Wisconsin for daring to bust the Union. Once they found out that no amount of protesting in Wisconsin was going to change anything because the majority of Wisconsin citizens backed the legislation against the Unions so they changed their tactic by going after another bogyman called Wall St. The collusion between the Unions and Obimbo’s need for a major distraction from his leadership record are fueling this misplaced demonstration. Instead of going after this government, which supplied the catalyst for the economic meltdown in the first place, the sheeple have bought into Obimbo’s typical rhetoric, “it’s their fault not mine”.

    Bullshit.

    The Affordable Care Act prevents your wife’s insurer from dropping her (called rescission) to cut costs.  For-profit health insurers love to drop their high-cost bleeders.  Contract law means nothing to them since their attorney is better than yours.

    I’m assuming you don’t have someone in your life who will die if not covered by “very good” insurance. There is a reason CF patients have the longest life expectancy in the United States. All the others do what Moore suggests… they ration.

    I am an RN at a VA Hospital to provide the best health care to my wife money can buy. Everything I’ve looked into when Obamacare hits scares me. The removal of the lifetime coverage ceiling and other benefits sound good. But the potential to see my wife’s medications not covered to compensate for the costs Obama is lumping on insurance companies is scary. The left wants our health care to be more like Europe… but in Europe my wife would be dead.

    PS… Where do I go if Obamacare doesn’t turn out like you promise and my wife pays the price. Are YOU going to make THAT OK??? Is Obama and his administration going to give me an apology and a beer summit? Where do I go when this all goes sideways?

    This was a horrible thing to say. Language like this does nothing but divide our country even more.

Yes their main goal WAS to get Obama out of the white house. But to go into all of this “lynch” language to get your point across, is reckless and reprehensible.

    I think we have had enough leftwing silly to last a life time;  yet you appear to want to take it up another notch.  I don’t recall any president elected into office that enjoyed as much good will as Obama.  That good will lasted for some time in spite of his obvious want to spend,  for that same reason the republicans were tossed.  As I recall, most of them were not “dark skinned.”

    You go ahead and believe that the OWS protest is “non-partisan” many “non-partisans” may share “almost” similar beliefs, but are not foolish enough to believe that that’s what this crowd is there for.   The other side of the partisan divide has already done some house cleaning focusing their efforts on DC.

    Like MSNBC or the Guardian are much credible either? I lived in London in 2009, and the Guardian basically lacked many stories of their precious labor party during the House of Common’s scandals that year. The Daily Telegraph reported daily each member who was involved in lying about their expense reports, and using public money for their own interests, but not much from the Guardian as majority of the people involved were from the Labour party. On MSNBC, we have Ed Schultz who shouts down people who have a different view point from him, we have Lawrence O’Donnel whose political experience was writing episodes for the West Wing, and we have Al Sharpton who lacks journalistic integrity, and pulls out the race card when someone disagrees with him, or Obama. You liberals act like Fox News has no journalist integrity when your precious MSNBC is a bunch of nut jobs spouting bile everywhere.

    Frances, with all of the corrupt practices and lack of “transparency” in the Obama administration, don’t you get tired of ignoring and obfuscating? 

    I don’t want to “lynch” Obama- or anyone else, for that matter, but given the corruption of this administration, I would like to see impeachment mentioned- and deservedly so.

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/joshgerstein/1011/Obama_administration_appeals_ruling_on_White_House_visitor_logs.html“The Obama administration is appealing a judge’s ruling that Secret Service records of visitors to the White House complex are subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.”
    The Justice Department filed a formal notice of appeal Friday afternoon regarding U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell’s August ruling rejecting arguments that the so-called WAVES records belong to the White House even though they are maintained and used by the Secret Service.

    http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10/14/source-white-house-will-not-turn-over-all-solyndra-documents/Washington (CNN) - Congress isn’t getting a glimpse of what’s on President Barack Obama’s Blackberry – or any more internal White House communications related to the bankrupt solar company Solyndra, which received a $535 million loan guarantee from the federal government.
    House Republicans investigating the loan controversy had requested all internal White House documents about the issue. House Energy and Commerce subcommittee chair Rep. Cliff Stearns said that includes emails on the President’s Blackberry.On Friday the White House Counsel sent a letter to the House Energy and Commerce Committee explaining they won’t comply with the request because it “implicates longstanding and significant institutional Executive Branch confidentiality interests.”

    http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/judge-blocks-release-recusal-related-emails-kagan-sent-wh-says-theyre-personalJudge Blocks Release of Recusal-Related Emails Kagan Sent WH—Says They’re ‘Personal’
    U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle, a Clinton appointee, has ruled that the Justice Department does not need to release emails Solicitor General Elena Kagan sent from her DOJ email account to people in the White House—in which she discussed her recusal decisions as solicitor general—because the emails were “used for a purely personal objective.”CNSNews.com and Judicial Watch were seeking public release of the emails through lawsuits filed under the Freedom of Information Act.The “purely personal objective” cited by the judge was Kagan’s goal of being confirmed to the United States Supreme Court.At issue is whether Kagan must recuse herself as a Supreme Court Justice when the cases challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare reach the court.Kagan was the Obama administration’s solicitor general—charged with defending the administration’s positions in federal court cases–at the time President Obama’s health-care plan was enacted and when Virginia and Florida filed lawsuits against that health-care plan in federal court.

    Liz – Have been following your comments in this thread.  You really are a lunatic aren’t you? 

  • CTognotti

    To be fair, absent a crystal clear video recording of this happening in the midst of (if I recall correctly) a very large crowd, it’s sort of hard to say what happened. You’ve got a couple congressmen who said it happened, and a bunch if Tea Partiers indignant at the charge. Whether it happened or not doesn’t reflect on the whole group of people, though, that bears saying.

    As for Andrew Breitbart, however – he’s either a massively disingenuous fellow, or one if the most credulous men on Earth. I’d remind you of when he flashed that picture of Anthony Weiner’s penis to those radio hosts, principally. He said he wasn’t going to reveal that picture. Weiner had already copped to the photos. He apologized to Breitbart himself, who not so gracefully appeared at Weiner’s press conference. And after the hosts released their capture of the photo, he cried foul over it as if he was under some iron-clad obligation to those guys to show them a picture he explicitly said he wouldn’t. He said he had to show it to media people so they’d know he was telling the truth. Well I’m sorry, that’s simply backhanded and a pretty lame excuse from a guy who at least usually defends himself with some aplomb, If you say you’re going to keep it under wraps, do so. Don’t trust radio provocateurs with a picture of a disgraced politician’s penis, and then claim they “betrayed your trust.” Breitbart betrayed his own word, just like Anthony Weiner did.

    Obviously that incident is unrelated and irrelevant to whether John Lewis got spat on and called a nasty word. Alls I’m saying is I’m a bit weary of Andrew Breitbart’s crusade as moral or ethical arbiter. The same goes for James O’Keefe. Either get some conservative firebrands who really live up to the integrities they bombastically claim, or work on reasoning things out for yourself.

    Nice language, makes what you are saying soooo much more credible;  who are you trying to impress?  Thinking you lost it because you lost.

  • CTognotti

    This is not to make any claim whether the spitting and cursing occurred, but I’m pretty sick of Andrew Breitbart as moral and ethical arbiter. He said he wasn’t going to release that photo of Anthony Weiner’s penis, and he did it anyways. Sure, he says his trust was betrayed by Opie and Anthony, and that may well be true, but If that’s the case he’s still guilty of violating his word by showing the photo in the first place, and incredibly naive in thinking a duo of radio provocateurs would place his trust above their chance to get a picture of a disgraced politician’s dick.

    Sean Penn’s remarks are clearly hyperbolic and stereotypical, I won’t argue that with you.

    Now that Sean Penn practices the David Carradine method of auto-arousal maybe he’ll ‘accidentally “lynch” himself. That would be funny, I don’t care who you are.

    Depends on the member of the Coast Guard. I don’t even know the incident you’re referring to, but citing somebody’s job as evidence they’re above telling a fib is silly. I could do the same thing from the liberal perspective – so you’re saying our commander in chief is a liar? Do you (as another poster here mentioned) believe John Lewis, a sitting congressman and civil rights hero, lied about being spat upon and called the very same traumatic word he had hurled at him back in those days? Maybe so, maybe not. But don’t just hide behind a label to defend somebody both you and I should admit we know nothing about on a personal level.

    If anyone would know Tea Party politics from the inside, it’s a second generation communists with a love affair with dictators.  Sean Penn’s opinion is about as informed as can be from the perspective of Hollywood left wing intellectualism – not at all.

    His opinion of leftist politics is nearly as valueless, inherited Soviet era idiocy and a practical perspective gleaned from Potemkin villages.

Stop ragging on Sean Penn, the man spent most of the last year in Haiti trying to help put it back together again. What have any of you done that comes close to that?

    As to the protests. They have a right to protest as long as they aren’t breaking any law. The Boston Tea Party was a protest. Are you all going to diss that too. I realise you are exercising your right to free speech but when it disintegrates into name calling and ridiculous statements it gets old really fast.

    I’m not sure he expect or even wants you to believe; but I do think it’s extremely likely that he wants you to share his sense of ongoing outrage.

    There’s a lot of discussion about this problem. One line is to keep telling them how irrational they’re being, how stupid they sound, how their hatred has warped them into chronic liars and confabulators, and then there’s another line, which I think Chris Mooney pushes on his blog that used to be on Discover magazine blogs, that the science that’s investigated their delusions shows that the more they get confronted with all that, they harder they grip their guns & bibles; that what may be more worthwhile is to go all quiet and slow down, like you would with a crazy person you care for and are stuck living with.

    That might seem half-way rational except today all the European nations, among a total in excess of 80 countries, joined in demonstrations to show support for the OWS movement. On Thursday, there were OWS demonstrations in over 1100 cities and towns in the U.S., and the way things have gone, more than that yesterday, and WAY more than that today. Worldwide, those demonstrating in or in support of OWS today were in the millions. There were 60,000 in Madrid, Spain alone, and 3,000 demonstrating in the business district in Auckland – New freaking Zealand you MadC you.

    And what you know about protest wouldn’t fill a thimble. The single most successful non-violent demonstration campaigns we know of, in India seeking for the British to vacate, and in the U.S. over civil rights in the 1960s, were non-violent. What you’re talking about is mass vandalism, nihilism, and civil war. The REASON the OWS movement is growing is BECAUSE it’s non-violent. If it was violent, we’d see not just the cops out, but the National Guard, and suspension of posse comitatus.

    Actually, the Dems took 2 away from the Walker majority in the Wisconsin Senate, so he’s not be able to do the nutty things he’d been doing. Moreover, the same folks who easily gathered enough signatures to petition recall elections for 6 Republican Senators are now forecasting that they will find it even easier to get enough signatures to force a recall election of Walker next year – and it’s not as if they don’t have any credibility on their side in such a prediction. So, for starters, you’re wrong on Wisconsin (On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin …)

    You’re probably a bit right on Wisconsin having something to do with leading to the OWS movement, but the fact is that demonstrations go on in NY City all the time, the press usually doesn’t bother reporting on. But this one took off, and now it’s gone global. I’d say putting all that down to Wisconsin is a bit, uh, naive.

    The rest of what you write is your characteristic winger drivel, so I give you “A” for consistency.

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Yes indeed, that IS the Tea Bagger Perspective. 

    I have a suggestion: go down to your local public library or bookstore and look for a book by Michael Lewis, the same guy who wrote Moneyball and The Big Short, telling about his experiences as a stock broker in 1980s, the book’s called Liar’s Poker. It’s like looking back 14 billions years and seeing the early stages of the universe. He tells the story of how the bent nose hoodlums decided to take over the Wall Street merchant banks and run a huge con on the mortgage industry, the one that first caught up the S&L industry. The key ideas were they went looking for a bigger pond to fish in, and saw the trillions in U.S. citizens’ savings, mostly in their homes, and to get their hands on that, the first thing they did was load up sacks full of cash and head off to Washington D.C. to buy themselves some politicians. 

    Point being: it started on Wall Street, so it has to stop on Wall Street. If you don’t stop Wall Street, then going to Washington is pointless. It’s about the money, Lebowski.

    Well, you forget that the Bush administration burned their entire e-mail horde – millions upon millions of politically corrupt intragovernmental messages disappeared down the rabbit hole of Outlook.

    You also neglect to note that Solyandra was a Bush administration initiative.

    And don’t get me started on the ludicrously mistitled Justice Clarence Thomas. I read that CSN article, and more: I actually read the judgment by the court. There’s nothing in there that’s strange or unjustified or unprecedented. Some perfectly proper FOIA applications were made for watchdog groups to get as much information as they could, and the judge drew a perfectly appropriate line as to what they would get and what they would not. There is absolutely nothing wrong at all with a Solicitor General who has good reason to think she might get nominated for appointment to the Supreme Court to start taking steps to firewall herself as much as possible from cases that might come into her office and so get before the Supreme Court. It happened with Robert Bork, it happened with even “Justice” Clarence Thomas. Just because you are completely clueless as to the purpose and mechanics of FOIA does not mean you get to link with a bony accusing finger.

    Actually, you might want to check again with Wingnut Central – the percentage is fifty THREE.

    Which is, in fairness to you, is one entire percentage point more fanciful and imaginary than the number YOU have come up with; so, maybe congratulations are in order, for relative accuracy.

    What’s particularly doofussy here is that the 99ers have a rationale for their number taken from real life, to wit the 99% who have 75% versus the 1% who have 25%, indicating fundamental inequality. That 53% (or, as you write, 52, which again is at least more accurate) is SUPPOSED to capture the percentage who pay income taxes, in contrast with the 47% we do not (leaving aside payroll taxes, sales taxes, municipal and state taxes, etc etc etc because those just muddy up the conceit), but is DESIGNED to suggest a class war in which that 53% stand on one side – which, given just Sean Penn, is clearly not the case. Now, I wonder how many others among the 53% do not in fact stand with the 53% … leaving aside the number of truly idiotic among the 47% who stand with the 53ers.

    This is all too complicated. Give me nine … plus nine … plus nine … equals 27, which on a family income of 50K would be $13,500, which is, what — 5K more than they pay now. Yeah, I like that; keep it simpleton.

    There are probably as many Sean Penn haters out there as there are Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity haters.

    But to all of these haters I say, “Spend your time listening rather than lynching (verbally).”

    Then draw your own conclusions without the group think mentality promulgated by MSNBC prime time, Fox News prime time and most of all TALK RADIO. Think for yourself and try to keep an open mind.

    All three are authentic passionate people who seem to really care about people and genuinely believe in their causes as difficult as that may be to believe..One Sean believes liberal policies are destroying America while the other Sean wonders what happened to the America that actually cared for the poor, the stagnate wages of the Middle Class and the health and financial well being of their fellow citizens.

    The idea that we in this country can vilify the Sean Penn’s and Michael Moore’s of the world just shows how far down the rabbit hole we’ve gone where we mock those who seem the most caring and thoughtful despite the fact they are both wealthy enough to sit on the sidelines and do nothing like so many of us.

    This “anti-Semitism” thing is interesting, something I suspect Frank Luntz came up with as anti-OWS talking point after the Dems lost Weiner’s seat in a heavily Hassidic district. It looks like the idea is that somehow the Borg – sorry, check that – the GOP can eat into Jewish support for the Dems, which typically gets up into the 70s. But it must be that not a lot of Jews overall are Hassidic because the latter ALWAYS vote authoritarian – they even support Rick Perry. This meme does seem to be failing, though, possibly because Jewish people tend to be able to read and reason for themselves. But it does give Norbit something to hang his porkpie hat on, so there’s that. Hey Norbit: while we’re all here anyway, can we stand on your lawn?

    Ever since Obama announced he’d seek the presidency, the media has exposed themselves for the propaganda machine that they have become. First, they stuck the knife in Bill Clinton’s back and accused him of “racism,” then they went after Hillary. (And, if the media has any brains at all, which I sincerely question, they will understand that the Clintons, like elephants, NEVER forget.) 

    The media HAD TO get Obama elected- and they accomplished their goal. No one ever said, “This Emperor has no clothes.” Obama should never have been elected, not because he’s black, but because he’s incompetent, and because his philosophy is foreign to our traditions and our Constitution. 

    Obama has been a useful tool for the Soros contingent who want a “new world order” with themselves as the overlords. It will be painful to undo the damage that Obama has done to the country, but it can be done, if he is thrown out of office- and if Congress has the cojones to investigate the corruption of his administration. 

    The legacy media has become nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, but surely, surely, there are a few “journalists” left who will tell the American people the truth. I hope, I can only hope.

    Sean Penn is an inarticulate inanity unable to put a proper sentence together and that allows him to be the obnoxious prick the he is.Boring, boring, boring. Literally a stupid, stupid moron.

    Hey, Frances… you say Sean Penn summarizes our (the Tea Party) sentiment. What? Are you clairvoyant? You can read the minds of all Tea Partiers? Failed assumption on your part, especially when this site seems to always use the word “alleged” when “reporting” acts of violence by the OWS crowd.

    You are a useful idiot.

    The ex-Mr. Madonna should stick to bad movies. This typical Hollywood ignoramus gets it backwards, of course; he overlooks the actual violent talk from the fuccupation clowns & imagines the Tea Party as murderous. Project much, Lefty?

    I want to know when Sean Penn (and other “movie stars”) are going to put their money where their mouth is and NOT negotiate MILLIONS for themselves for their next movie, and instead “spread the wealth around” with the crew, makeup people, costumers, admin assistants, caterers, etc.

    I agree that the tea party is about spending and balancing budgets and all of the rest is just BS.

    However, after TARP, the tea party would have risen no matter who was elected a month later if they performed in any sort of similar way, be they rep or dem.  Because you just know that if anyone was POTUS at that point and suggested a big fat stimulus, fiscal conservative’s heads would have exploded.

    What made Obama notable during this is the scope of his spending.  And then he tripled down with Obamacare, which was just another frighteningly huge unfunded entitlement.

    The tea party was destiny.  At some point, someone has to take a stand and say NO MORE.

    Sean made one great comment.  He said he would love to have a president (either party) that would lead as if they only wanted one term.  That way they could do what they had to do without worrying about being reelected.

    I wonder how far I would get if I suddenly found my truck blew its transmission and I ran down to the guy who wants to sell me new warranty coverage.  I buy a policy, costs me 30.00 and I pay the first month premium then take my truck in for that 3000,00 repair.  Get it back and cancel my policy.  Does that sound like something you would consider if you were in the warranty business.   Its stupid and you know it.  Do you have a clue what would and will happen to ALL insurance policies if this is allowed to go down.  This BS put out by Obama saying all insurance will go down is ludicrous and you know it.  They will all have to raise policies and if Obama and his gang say they cant,  they have no choice but to go out of business and no one gets insurance unless you get it from the now Government monopoly run agency.  And that friend will be demanded and beyond any price you can imagine.  Obama has no clue other than to tear down everything American and he is doing it.  When he does that, I will be moving to a third world country,   where I would rather take my chances with the Drug Cartels than with Obama and his dictatorship.

  • HawkCW4

    Its not hate of those people, its the stupidity of them not making arrangements when they could and should have.  Many lived a life of ME ME ME and have fun till we drop.  Our Gov will take care of us,  Liberals been promising that forever.   You want me to pick up the tab for addicts and everyone else who did not prepare for life.  Why should I.  Why.   Its not hate of the people its a hate of a government that made slaves out of them.  Its a hate of a government that believes its ok to take from those that worked and planned just to give to those that didnt.  That sir is what I hate,  and that is what most people like me hate.  Try to understand that, and be careful how you frame things.  No one has said they hated any of those slaves.

  • HawkCW4

    And that is the problem.  They cant drop anyone.  Thats not the problem and you know it.  The Problem is the millions of free loaders who have no insurance because with the premium costs they could buy so much more booze and party and dope.  Now as they get older and the effects of all that fun begins to tear  up their bodies, they are stuck till Obama forces the ins companies to sell them insurance at going rates.  How stupid.  Now everyone will see their rates go sky high or the ins company will just close shop.  They have no choice under Obama care. Which is what Obama wants.  He wants the Gov to be the Ins provider to EVERYONE.  At costs you cant even begin to imagine.

    Sean Penn is no saint, and he certainly is no patriot. He is the new Hanoi Jane and he deserves to be ridiculed for his views which are far from mainstream. He has aligned himself with Castro, Chavez, Mao, and a number of other leaders of hostile regimes.

    What do you think Rex you Americans are the only idiots falling for brainwashing without knowing the reason why you are brainwashed. Europe has been on brainwashing since WWII ended and they are still dreaming sweet dreams of the extreme left even so their idol the Soviets are gone forever. Europe is full of idiots and they prove that everyday. So your OWS is unique in copying the European leftist scam not the other way around

    For your own information, i lived in Sweden for 2 years, the healthcare system there is better than you can ever dream of, the roads and public transit systems are in a spic & span condition, they have minimum 5 weeks vacation, the women and man can take up to 1 year paid vacation when they get a baby…
    and they have the highest Human Development Index…
    High standards of living for all…
    and here you are and you are saying what??
