First Amendment Icon Larry Flynt Endorses Hillary!

[yallerdawg]

Larry Flynt, no stranger to the workings of the Federal judicial branch, makes some very succinct points regarding the presidential race in 2016.

His observation the right-leaning Supreme Court is the new legislative branch in light of the ongoing dysfunction of Congress reminds us of the critical importance of this next presidential election.

2 or 3 new justices over the next 5-9 years will be a Democratic victory in 2 out of 3 branches of government!

1. First amendment icon?

I didn't realize that using 1A for offensive "speech" qualified one to be an "icon".

2. This person built a fortune off of turning women's bodies into commodities.

Not sure this is something I would brag about.

5. Pornographers like Flynt pactice free speech at the expense of OTHERS

How BRAVE of them.

11. I remember from an interview with Suze Randall how he got dirt on Hefner

I believe he bought pictures of Hefner cheating on his wife, but Hefner 'convinced' him not to publish it.

12. That's not an example of the "others" I was referring to.

His business caters to misogynist scum -- He SLIMES women and their bodies to the

max -- He used to have "fun" with a cartoon character that molested little girls

called "Chester the Molester".

He's an anti-human rights PIG (yeah, women's rights are HUMAN rights) so I'm

afraid I don't care a lot about his political preferences.

16. He took the concept for Hustler from Al Goldstein who believed women are only good for cooking and

perfoming oral sex on men.

It's about them, the free spech thing is just a byproduct.

One of Goldstein's good friends was Larry Flynt. Goldstein said that Flynt's Hustler magazine, founded seven years after SCREW, stole the Hustler format from SCREW, but that he was not angry. According to Goldstein, Flynt succeeded in creating a national publication, at which he had failed.[56]

17. Yep..They're both scumbags. n/t

[whathehell]

13. Worse than that -- He built it off SLIMING and degrading women's bodies

to the max.

Ever hear of "Chester the Molester"?..That was his "funny" cartoon

about child abuse.

If you believe women's rights = Human Rights, he's an anti-human rights PIG of the first order.

[Cheese Sandwich]

14. Completely agree

He's an anti-woman anti-human pig who exploits and degrades human beings for profit.

But ya know what, he's just one guy. It's really symbolic of the porn industry as a whole. And it is an industry that gives a lot of money to political candidates.

15. He is symbolic of the porn industry -- It's become MUCH uglier and more anti-female. n/t

Most that I've seen lately aren't content to degrade them visually,

they include text -- right above or below the pictures -- calling them "Whores"

or "Bitches" or "Sluts".

Susan Brownmiller in her prize winning book "Against our Will" talked

about how porn was essentially anti-female propaganda way back

in 1978 and it's grown much worse since then.

3. I saw a post recently but did not trust the source. Hearing Larry says he is supporting

Hillary is good enough for me. Larry did a lot of work to get the Republicans off of Bill by exposing several of the Congress members for their "failures" and he vowed to continue until they stopped their game on Bill. Maybe Larry can get the halt put on Benghazi. Glad to see the endorsements lining up for Hillary, I like the sound.

4. Clip from great political show on Bloomberg TV.

"With All Due Respect" is timely, real world journalism, irreverent, and you will see stuff on it that will blow your mind! They have an extended interview with Mr. Flynt from last Friday's show.

"Sayonara."

[Iliyah]

6. Like going to his poker establishment where I have met him

several times. He's nice. He is a Liberal.

[yallerdawg]

7. He certainly supports Democrats.

And no one has despised conservative Republican hypocrisy more than him!

[McCamy Taylor]

8. Way to go! He supported Clinton during Monica-gate, too.

[yallerdawg]

9. Mr. Flynt made another observation.

In the longer interview, he pointed out when David Vitter was reelected after caught and admitting to utilizing the services of the DC Madam, sexual conduct of politicians has lost its impact.

Going forward, he will be targeting "corruption". So, million dollar bounties on the clean and pure Republican candidates, who will have so much innuendo, speculation and character assassination ready for Hillary. You know, the traditional Lee Atwater/Karl Rove political strategy.

He did mention Huckabee, though...

10. Hillary, Bhillary

Go Bernie!
