question about the new Larry Flynt book. |
|
Does the new Larry Flynt book, "Sex, Lies, & Politics: The Naked Truth," have evidence of George W. Bush paying for an abortion?

His source told him the names of the hospital, the doctor, and the woman, but she denies it and the hospital records have not survived well through several changes in ownership. He's more concerned over the censorship he encountered when he tried to ask the question.

Private citizens have a right to refuse answering him.
I sure wish it was someone else going after * than Larry Flynt. Flynt is a vile, disgusting human being. The day he stops publishing that racist trash he calls a magazine, is the day I will support him.

4. why do you call Larry a racist? |
|
Just curious. I've heard him called a lot of stuff, but never a racist.

6. Ever leaf through a Hustler |
|
magazine? I invite you to do so at some point, and look at the cartoons printed there. Many perpetuate the WORST kinds of sterotypes about Blacks. It's disgusting.

7. Basically, Flynt is an equal-opportunity offender... |
|
He has cartoons of just about everybody and everything.
Larry was shot and lost the use of his legs (and was almost killed) by a white supremacist who took offense of his very erotic Hustler pictorial of a black man and white woman.
Although I find much of Hustler to be in the worst possible taste, I'm a fan of Flynt, he's a fearless defender of the First Amendment.

9. I admire his defense of the first amendment, as well |
|
He's still a disgusting, racist pig, and I can never be a "fan" of a man like that.

As much as I don't like his "magazine", I support his right to print it. I especially love when he offers millions to people to out Washington DC hypocrites!!

8. Ok.. I'll give you that one. |
|
But the cartoons in Hustler perpetuate the WORST kinds of stereotypes about EVERYONE and EVERYTHING! It's really not just blacks.

5. True, Larry's kinda slimy |
|
And 'Hustler' is pretty vile.
But I gotta have at least a little respect for a guy who punked out Jerry Falwell and brought down Bob Barr, Henry Hyde AND the newly elected Speaker of the House Bob Livingston with the 'Flynt Report'. It really exposed the Clinton witch hunt for what it was.

12. He went on TV on several shows... |
|
and either the segment was cut, or the transcript was missing or unavailable. Even Liz Smith commented about it. I agree that Hustler is vile but the book is quite good and rather uplifting, in a First Amendment sort of way.
