Larry Flynt will be on Larry King Live tonight!
Edited on Wed May-16-07 10:12 AM by liberalnurse
He has a lot of history with the Late Jerry Fallwell. He fought the neo-cons and won...He is my hero.

snip>..........refresh your history here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Flynt

Larry Flynt won an important Supreme Court decision on February 24, 1988,<6> after having been sued by Jerry Falwell in 1983 over an offensive ad parody in Hustler that featured Falwell. The ad suggested that Falwell's first sexual encounter was with his mother in an out-house. Falwell sued Flynt citing emotional distress caused by the ad but lost in court. The decision clarified that public figures cannot recover damages for "intentional infliction of emotional distress" based on parodies.

5. Good thing today's Supreme Court wasn't hearing that case.
Flynt would have lost everything and Falwell would have been gloating ear to ear.

8. I just posted a thread
about celebrating Falwell's death via the DU sending Flynt a bunch of FLOWERS in appreciation for all he's done to preserve our Freedoms, and it got shot down in a morass of "must send to AIDS foundation" takeover of the thread..

I mentioned that Free Speech is for ALL people, no matter their Creed, Race, Color, Sexual Orientation, and THAT did no good either..

THis would be Great time to STRIKE with flowers, get the DU out there, and bash Falwell with STYLE at the same time. :)

I once sent him some artwork featuring Falwell on a Fifty Dollar bill with a Pig Nose, and Flynt sent me a check for 300 bucks and Published it!

Ah, those were the days :)
