Sean Penn wants to squelch free speech...

...with prison and death.

Says so right here:

Apparently the fact lefties watch Bill Mahar's HBO show (and presumably heard Penn's remarks) mitigates the need for this to be reported anywhere other than, um...Foxnews.

The Penn is mightier than the words.

I think he should get his way. Only for the fact that it would limit the amount of scripts available to him.

And the point of this is?

No point at all, apart from the exercise Penn gives his own right to free speech while denouncing same for those who disagree with him.

Unless you agree with Mr. Penn, I don't see your point in questioning mine.

So, Sean Penn is just like Glen Beck, Sean Hannity and Liz Cheney.

Give me a moment while I search for your threads about them...

Edit: Oddly, couldn't find a thing.
One can only conclude that perceived restriction of free speech is abhorrent from the left but perfectly OK from the right.

At least you're consistent.

Somehow that article turned into a free speech rant when it should have just stuck to the facts: Sean Penn is a twit and everyone knows it.

Find for me similar sentiments uttered by any of the three you mentioned, please.

Take your time.
