Jerry did do one fine thing for freedom and liberty in America...
He died on a day that totally wiped out the repub's chances of getting any TV news coverage of their second debate, to amount to anything. WTG Jerry!

1. I like to think his greatest moment is being on the losing side of Falwell v Hustler
A fantastic day for 1st amendment rights. I think Falwell for his participation in that day, even if it was against his intentions.

2. And also helped show that parody of a public figure ...
is protected by the 1st amendment. Thank you Mr. Flynt for fighting this!

3. I never really hated Jerry, I just didn't like what he was doing to
our country. The GOPers ALL forget how they did EVERYTHING in their power to undermine the president of the United States between 1992 and 2000! I was proud of Larry Flynt's defending of Bill Clinton, when the GOPers were trying their best to destroy president Clinton. I wish the democrats in Washington had a fraction of Larry Flynt's courage now.

4. I bought the Flynt Report when it came out ...
have it put away for me to one day "rediscover" and/or hand off to someone (or sell it on eBay).
