Audio: Sean Penn tells Bush to take this war and “shove it”

Left-wing nut Sean Penn preached to the choir at an anti-war BDS event over the weekend. He told the Bush administration and those “who bathe in the moisture of [their] soiled and bloodstained underwear” to “shove it.”

Here’s a brief transcript (emphasis mine):

And because, in the absence of a competent or brave Congress, of a mobilized citizenry, that level of power lies in your hands, it is you who have misused it to become our country’s and our constitution’s most devastating enemy. You have broken our country and our hearts. The needless blood on your hands, and therefore, on our own, is drowning the freedom, the security, and the dream that America might have been, once healed of and awakened by, the tragedy of September 11, 2001.

But now, we are encouraged to self-censor any words that might be perceived as inflammatory – if our belief is that this war should stop today. We cower as you point fingers telling us to “support our troops.” Well, you and the smarmy pundits in your pocket, those who bathe in the moisture of your soiled and bloodstained underwear, can take that noise and shove it. We will be snowed no more. Let’s make this crystal clear. We do support our troops in our stand, while you exploit them and their families. The verdict is in. You lied, connived, and exploited your own countrymen and most of all, our troops.

“…we are encouraged to self-censor any words that might be perceived as inflammatory…” Right. You just can’t find any opposition to the war, anywhere. Sean, you’re sooo brave for speaking out.
