Larry has been known to be a jokester and in this video he doesn’t disappoint! Funny!

[kansasblue]

1. hey Larry. You said you had stuff on the Republicans.

what happened to you?

[jae1227]

5. Who is it

After the David Vitter thing came out, Flint said he knew someone HUGE that would he would release the name. WHO IS IT????

[judasdisney]

8. The rumored name, Dick Cheney, would've had zero trouble because

Debra Jean Palfrey, who said on national radio that she would never commit suicide in a million years, then proceeded to allegedly "commit suicide."

Which left Flynt isolated.

In addition, the Hookergate scandal is connected to the second Watergate (hooker/poker) scandal, which brought down Dusty Foggo, Deputy Director of the CIA. Which was connected to blackmailing dozens of Senators & Congressmen, and probably Supreme Court Justices, and others in the intelligence field. Which is connected to Sibel Edmonds' revelations of nuclear black market ties & drug trafficking through Turkey & Europe, and money laundering & False Flag terrorism funding.

You see why Flynt chooses his battles more carefully. A bite of an iceberg is a losing battle.

[LaPera]

43. Very intersting post.

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. This guy is becoming a one ring circus.

You know he gathered information, what he did with it, apparently, occurred behind closed doors. Maybe that's what it was all about all along?

[LiberalHeart]

36. I don't think he said it was a Republican...just that it was someone who shocked him.

With hindsight, I figure it was John Edwards. As I recall, at the time Flynt was out to expose hypocrisy and he didn't care which side of the aisle he found it on. I also think he said he wouldn't expose it unless the person did something -- like maybe get the nomination for prez? I can't remember at this late date what his caveat was.

[ooglymoogly]

44. Now why in the hell would you make a comment like that? nt

[AzDar]

2. Larry Flynt, filthy though he may be, is a personal hero of mine.

A true American Patriot.:patriot:

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. ...

:rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[McCamy Taylor]

4. Bravo!

[Honeycombe8]

6. Pretty funny stuff! (but you can tell he's not an actor, alright.)nt

[cyndensco]

11. Yeah, a minute 18 seconds is just about all I could have stood.

An actor he is not - but I like his politics. :)

[davidinalameda]

7. that was priceless

:rofl:

[Quantess]

9. LOL.

[RedLetterRev]

12. MrrrEEEoooww

:rofl:

K/R

[Bucky]

13. You know, he kinda reminds me of Woody Harrelson

[jeff30997]

15. Yeah me too...

I wonder why? Maybe he was a barman in Boston at some point in his life.:)

[demobabe]

30. There was a documentary on Larry Flynt on TV this last week

And they showed Larry in his younger years, it was so great! I didn't think Woody looked much like him until I saw that, and then it was clear those two look so much alike. Great casting for the People vs. Larry Flynt.

[sasquatch]

14. LOL!!

:rofl:

[jeff30997]

16. "He believes in free speech"

Lol! Priceless.

[ooglymoogly]

45. And he was one of few who stood up for all of us in court and won,

No matter what else he is, he is a hero for that.

[Steelworker In OH]

17. LOL

I got a good laugh outta that, although I find it hard to believe he had more women that Flynt did back then... LOL

[VeraAgnes]

21. McCain was a flyboy Officer, son of the Admiral

so I bet he did get more women. I think Flynt was an enlisted man so he didn't get to the Officers Club stuff.

[Steelworker In OH]

41. probably

makes me think of the movie "Full Metal Jacket" sucky sucky 5 dolla everything you want. LOL

[metamars]

18. I wonder what Kermit the Frog would say?

Just wonderin'.......

[sunnybrook]

19. Wow, wonder who the devil is supporting

Maybe we can get that endorsement too! This exploitative bastard is not my American Hero. Not so impressed with his "free speech" credibility. Someone who has exploited women to this extent including the sexual abuse of his own daughter, who spoke out about that with Gloria Steinam on the Charlie Rose show. Excuse me if I am not overly excited about this scumbag offering this "comedy" bit in support of Obama. I noticed he also included link information to his "business" venture. There is more than one perspective on this asshole.

[VeraAgnes]

29. I'm a woman and a lover of free speech

which I bow down to Mr. Flynt for maintaining that freedom. He took a bullet for us all. I know a hero when I see one. Larry Flynt is a hero. The Obama campaign called Hillary a racist for starters and said women will come around.... so; they are on the same page by your standards.

[jamesatemple]

20. Post the transcript of this video in an issue of Hustler, Larry!

That's the only way rednecked Bubbas will be made aware of your opinion. You'd better place each point under a different picture of a naked young woman 'cause Bubba won't waste a lot of time readin'. Coat the page with some chemical to make it drool and beer proof in case the issue is passed down to the next Bubba. Come to think of it, such a plan might get an entire generation of teenage boys interested in politics.

[Libby2]

22. *snort*

Those were good.

[OwnedByFerrets]

23. Priceless!!!!

Fucking Priceless!!!!:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ElboRuum]

24. Say what you want about what the man does for a living...

...you have to admit that he is priceless when it comes to his ability to piss off the establishment. He's got a gift for it.

[liberal N proud]

25. That is great

[Overseas]

26. K&R -- short & sweet. Rated it up at You Tube as well. //nt

[valerief]

27. keek

:kick:

[femrap]

28. So glad to see the 'progressives'

on DU supporting the sexism of our culture. Wow, it takes a real insecure, small male to rec this.

And don't bothering replying...I learned very long ago that MANY (not all) dem males are more sexist than many of the repugnant males.

How the hell do you think the Women's Liberation Movement of the '60's started? A bunch of progressive dewds telling the women to fetch coffee and make copies. The women decided to have their own meeting upstairs.

Flynt regards women as nothing but objects and if you endorse him, a part of you does too. At least be honest with yourselves and others and cop to your sexist attitudes.

[demobabe]

32. I am a female, and find your post offensive

Nobody forces women to pose in Hustler magazine. All of those women have the choice to do any other job in the world, and it isn't like Hustler Magazine was the only job they could get so they're stuck posing nude...

Say what you will about the smut. Fine, gross, low life, whatever. But the thing you have to remember is that Larry Flynt has been fighting for First Amendment rights his entire life, and it is because of him that political satire is still available to us. The American Association of Editorial Cartoonists backed him in his suit with Jerry Falwell because the outcome of that suit determined their very livelihood.

To advocate censorship because you find something offensive is to go against the First Amendment of the Constitution. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Hall, paraphrasing Voltaire.

There is no difference between trying to censor pornography and the Religious Right banning books and trying to legislate morality.

You may want to rethink your whole stance on how "Liberated" we are as women. From my perspective, we're less liberated than ever. The net result of the Women's Liberation movement seems to be now ALL women HAVE to work to make ends meet, and more than likely our children are being raised by strangers in daycare.

We are not Liberated. We're slaves to corporations.

[femrap]

47. I find you offensive.

[demobabe]

53. That's fine.

And I will defend to my death your right to find me offensive.

[UpInArms]

34. if you don't like smut, don't buy his magazine - since you don't like

Flint, why did you click this link?

You are the one with the problem - you prefer censorship instead of controlling what your own fingers do.

I am a woman and I owe a huge debt to the honor of Larry Flint and his fight for freedom of speech.

Remember, even if I don't agree with what you say, I'll fight and die for your right to say it.

Now who do you want to censor and shut up?

[femrap]

48. You'll die for your right to SAY

it...how does that translate into women dancing naked for men's pleasure? When do the women get to SAY anything?

Some dewd told me that women talk out of their cunts...is that what you are willing to die for?

Go read some Dworkin.

[DeadEyeDyck]

37. Oh my...

[femrap]

49. Love that ignore button.

[underseasurveyor]

40. Sorry YOU feel that way

Not all of us GIRLS do.. like us self-assured, secure, confident, smart girls... heh heh:D

[femrap]

50. when your boss calls you 'his girl,' do you get

off? buh bye....hope you like living the '50's.

[underseasurveyor]

51. Been there done that..

heh... some of us are capable of evolving and moving past that stale mind-set. When you get tired of living and thinking we're in the 50's, give us a call:hi: We'll be here when you're ready to step into the new Millennium.

[YOY]

52. Yes, much better to support the sexual repression of the right!

Unless, of course, you think all porn is about women. I suggest you ask a gay man or two. I assure you that they know of porn involving no woman whatsoever.

[ElboRuum]

55. Read your...

...go read some Dworkin comment above.

Invoking Dworkin isn't really helping out your argument much. I've read some of her work after being made aware of her presence some time ago, well as much as I could stand, which really wasn't much at all. Of what I did read, the conclusion I could draw with reasonably certainty is that her hostility towards men is so powerful, and comes across so clearly, that every point she makes is infused with this inherent hostility and bias. It is difficult to take seriously any of her 'ideas', simply because they all seem to involve the implication that all sexuality, regardless of its consensuality, is by definition predatory and thus degrading to women.

I'm sorry, but I cannot accept something so broadly biased on its face, regardless of intent.

One other thing...

Don't bother replying? This is a message board based in the sharing of opinion. If you don't want a response, please don't post.

[lamp_shade]

31. Oh how I enjoyed (needed) that.

[Janice325]

33. Thanks. I needed that, too.

Larry looked like he was enjoying himself. His top ten made me laugh out loud and break out into a smile.

It's funny, I used to despise the guy, now I admire him in an odd kind of way. He's been through a lot of shit and survived. He's only about 6 years younger than McCain, but a hell of a lot more articulate than Johnny the POW, IMO.

More info on Flynt's life for anyone interested. It's from imdb:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0283658/bio

[SE7Nth]

35. "his tax plan favors the rich, and i'm rich" lol. that was great.

[underseasurveyor]

38. Oh Goddess love him

"He believes in free speech. He's not afraid to call his wife a $@*&#% @^$* in public."

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

39. Teh Keating Five thing is interesting....

Because Keating was part of the upper crust there in Cincinnati and he forced the issue about Hustler Magazine. Remember, Huster was printed and published out of Cincinnati...

[sasori]

42. roflmao!...

Too funny.:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

46. Hehe.

Good one, Lar! :spray:

[yurbud]
