Dissent is cool. I get dissent and I'm fine with it.
What I don't understand is why certain Hollywood types (Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte), who are certainly free to call the US government and Bush whatever they want, go to Venzuela in support of solidarity where all media is being taken under government control, private property is being seized, and political opponents are being imprisoned.
I wonder what any of those who praise Chavez would do if the US government seized all of their wealth in an effort to redistribute it to the poor, or imprisoned them for speaking out against the leadership in power.
I don't get it.
