Penn: ‘End Is Near’ for Fox PunditsPosted on Mar 20, 2008
Filming one of his last scenes as Harvey Milk, San Francisco’s first openly gay politician, who was assassinated by City Hall colleague Dan White in 1978, Sean Penn got all Method on the crowd of extras assembled to reenact the scene of an important speech Milk made on Gay Freedom Day 30 years ago. Penn, who apparently requested to be called Harvey during the shoot, urged the couple thousand extras gathered in front of City Hall to come out to their families, and then capitalized on the momentum of the moment to impart a message that clearly came from the actor himself:

Surely there is a Murdoch trust fund to propagate neocon principles long after the mogul himself and Penn are gone. AEI and Heritage Foundation have massive endowments. Jones and Liberty universities don’t have quite that much cash in the till, but get tithes from enough faithful to assure fundamentalist preachings until the their much-yearned fires of Judgment Day arrive to roast all the liberals, gays, evilutionists, Bush-bashers, the atheist Jimmy Carter, war skeptics, NASCAR scoffers, Volvo drivers, non-believers, Moose-lambs, and all things French or Your-a-peein’. Will the film about Milk include any scenes where Dan White pigs out on stacks of Twinkies? White’s aliby for acquital was to plea that he’d overdoses on the sweets and went into temporary insanity. O’Reilly and Hannity are no doubt also partial to Twinkies.

It would be nice to think these mouthpieces for the republican party and its lunatic fringe would soon disappear, but there is to much money and power to give up on this war effort and those who support this immoral war have Iraq and America in its JAWS!!! No, they wont be leaving anytime soon…
