Larry Flynt: I've Never Met A Republican Who Wasn't Racist

Legendary publisher, author and free speech advocate Larry Flynt sat down with HuffPost Live's Alyona Minkovski on Wednesday to discuss his views on partisan politics. Flynt had some harsh words for the Republican party and said he can't see any GOP candidates winning an election for the next three to five decades.

Ok, I do know some that are not racist, but it seems the vast majority are though.

I'm glad he's seen the light on racism and bigotry, given that Hustler published some really racist cartoons and most pornography relies trades heavily in racist stereotypes about African American, Asian, and Latina women.

Still, am I happy he's a thorn in the side of so many GOP f***wads? Yes.

I know Democrats who are racist. It's accurate to say that the Republican Party's policies are racist.

His meaning is clear. The Republican policies speak for themselves. No need for us to get distracted with arguing about which individual is racist. Meanwhile, Rand Paul is gathering steam. Now THERE is a racist!
