Reuters reports: “Hollywood actor Sean Penn, adopting the role of a journalist, scribbled in his notebook as Friday prayer worshippers in Tehran chanted “Death to America.”

He probably had that note already written down from his last visit.

Penn, 44, in Iran on a brief assignment for the San Francisco Chronicle ahead of presidential elections on June 17, may be one of the best known faces in film, but he went unrecognized by the 6,000 faithful at Tehran University.

Working with a translator, Penn took copious notes as hardline cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati urged the congregation to vote en masse “to make America angry.”

Want to know what makes America angry? Hollywood liberals who think they know better, and embarrass our country with their words and actions.

“Later on Sunday, security men briefly confiscated the small video camera Penn is using to record his travels at a protest rally about gender inequalities by some 300 women.”

Iran didn’t want to show the world anything about the country’s inequality of women? Imagine that. Thanks for the reporting, Sean.

CC4Truth has got a funny pic to keep Penn in perspective.
