Sean Penn Labels Tea Party Members Racists Who Want to "Lynch" President Obama
by Free Britney at .Sean Penn channeled his inner Morgan Freeman this week.
The actor raised eyebrows by calling Tea Party members a bunch of racists, drawing a stinging rebuke from the national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots.
Penn referred to Tea Partiers as the “Get the N-Word Out of the White House Party” on Piers Morgan Tonight, saying its members want to "lynch" President Obama.
That sentiment and word choice did not sit well with many.
Said Mark Meckler, co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots:
“I’m fairly certain that Sean Penn has never been to a tea party or met anyone who belongs to a local tea party. I’d be happy to sit down and speak with him if he’s ever interested in really speaking with one of us and learning what we are about instead of just slandering millions of his fellow American citizens with racist hatred."
"While protected by the 1st Amendment, this rhetoric has no place in reasonable discourse in America. Then again, no one ever accused Sean Penn of ‘reasonable discourse.’”
We know where Herman Cain stands on this, but what about you?
Is the Tea Party racist?

-TRUTH OPENED- ---Hollywood now stands dangerously X---posed for 4 decades of retreads, demoralization, soft porn, tech porn., empathy porn, torture porn and VAST, calculated predictive programming for the unfolding castone EUGENICS agenda. Penn has been UTTERLY SILENT on these matters ---even as he complies. Just a little REALITY CHECK as Hollywood BURIES without a trace the 60th Anniversary of the Globalism, RED China and EUGENICS 'unfriendly' -----------------KOREAN WAR-------------------. AMEN

some of them are racists. my grandmother on my moms side & her little tea party member group are BIG racists. but not all are.
Penn is an idiot and I've bought my last ticket to see him or Sam Jackson. Who ever told him that people were interested in his opinion lied to him. I bet his agent wants to ring his neck after the Morgan show! 2 idiots for the price of one.
Sean Penn is a laugh riot. He really thinks someone cares about what he thinks...actually I will take someone in the Tea Party over someone who loves Hugo Chavez...If Penn does not like what is going on here...I suggest he go and live with Hugo...and while your at it Penn..your one of the ones who tries to stir up unrest between the races...We need to ignore people like you...who love the race card...pull it, use it...and lie about it...if we the real people of the U.S. would stop listening to dribble from people like you...we would see that there is not a race problem in the U.S....its just people like you trying to create one that is the problem...everyday the races interact because we are human beings..but the loud mouths get up and start pulling that card and you have people saying...hmmmm must be true...well its not...everyday America has not got a race problem and if we stand up to people like this one...we will stop this attempt to create havoc.
