That first amendment stuff? He fought like hell for it - when he wanted free speech for himself.

Meanwhile, he viciously and relentlessly went after women who used their first amendment rights to criticize him, in one case when they were only trying to do that in a completely nonpublic and nonconfrontational way:

From Aura Bogado, of Radio Pacifica:

As a woman of color who opposes the type of violence that Hustler Magazine* *celebrates in their publication, I was dismayed that NION (Not In My Name) chose to align themselves with Flynt. For that reason, I sent a personal email back to NION, asking to be removed from the list. Los Angeles NION organizer Robert Corsini not only responded to me, but also forwarded his response, along with my original personal email, to both of my bosses at the local community radio station I work with, and to Larry Flynt Publishing.

(snip, with my note that this was the original conflict, Aura merely trying to quietly remove herself from a list)

In another edition of Hustler, the magazine goes far beyond words and uses caricatures of me in a desperate attempt to further speak vilify me. I have not made any public statements regarding Hustler or anyone related to its publication since August 2004, yet after half-a-year of me remaining silent on the issue, Hustler continues to attack me, featuring horrific images of me: in some, I read a poem a Valentine's Day poem, 'Roses are red, Violets are blue, If you're a white male, I'm gonna kill you'; another has me smashing a microphone because, in the cartoon, a caller into the station I work at sends an email suggesting that I like 'having mouth near a microphone because it reminds of a white male's cock.'; yet another cartoon includes a line of 'Aura Bogado Jewelry'- in it, I have a penis pierced through my tongue.
