Sean Penn delivered a speech for a Kucinich rally at San Francisco State University last week, the text of which was made available by the Huffington Post here, and there’s a video of the lone Republican protester also at the Huffington Post here. In the video, the protester, who is identified as the president of the SFSU College Republicans, silently holds a sign up at the front of the room until a Kucinich supporter emerges from the audience to intimidate him, with the audience cheering their approval at the aggression. The police ultimately intercede and drag away the aspiring pacifist, but reading the full text of Penn’s incoherent remarks, a painful exercise in its own right, it’s hardly surprising that a young Kucinich supporter would be so menacing in the face of a little free speech:
When our own administration chooses its bewilderingly un-American agenda (For the entitled people? By the entitled people?) over the Constitution in defining American values, principles, and law, Bin Laden laughs at the weakened sheep that we and our representatives have become. High crimes and misdemeanors? How about full-blown treason for the outing our own CIA operatives? How about full-blown treason for those who support this administration through media propaganda? While I’m not a proponent of the Death Penalty, existing law provides that the likes of Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld and Rice, if found guilty, could have hoods thrown over their heads, their hands bound, facing a 12-man rifle corps executing death by firing squad. And our cowardly democratically dominated House and Senate can barely find one voice willing to propose so much as an impeachment. That one voice of a true American. That one voice of Congressman Dennis Kucinich.
Sean Penn’s promise: Vote for Denis Kucinich and he’ll execute the president! Peace.
