Sarah Palin’s son Trig is in the news again following the liberal blog Wonkette bashing her and saying her son, who has Down Syndrome, is “retarded” and “somewhat alive.” Now Hustler published Larry Flynt has gotten in on the attacks.
Flynt is no stranger to controversial comments over the years as the head of the soft-cord pornographic magazine and a free speech advocate, but his comments about Sarah Palin’s son may be some of the most over-the-top remarks he’s made to date.
In a new interview with the London Independent newspaper, Flynt rambled from topic to topic until he settled on Palin, who is considering whether to run for the Republican nomination for president this year.
“Sarah Palin is the dumbest thing. But I made a fortune off of her. [He made a porn film called Nailin' Palin, based on her],” he said.
Then, he went after Trig, saying, “She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A virtual vegetable.”
Flynt followed up on the Wonkette theme — that Palin is supposedly exploiting Trig by having him with her at some political events — by saying, “She carries it to all these different political events against abortion, she did it just because she didn’t want to say she’d had an abortion. How long is it going to live? Another 12, 15 years? Doesn’t even know it’s in this world.”
“So what kind of compassionate conservative is she? I don’t think anybody will want her near the White House,” Flynt added.
The London Independent reporter, Johann Hair, was left speechless: “I am so thrown by the unpleasantness of all this I don’t even interject.”
In its attack on Palin and her disabled son, the Wonkette post commented on his birthday and said, “What’s he dreaming about? Nothing. He’s retarded. His mom went to a lot of trouble to leak amniotic fluid over 8 states to make sure that he arrived in this world somewhat alive.
The Wonkette story prompted a massive conservative backlash on Twitter and calls for major advertisers to pull their advertising. Several companies such as Papa Johns, Huggies and Vanguard dropped their ads and others soon followed suit.
Wonkette eventually removed the post and issued a tepid apology and the writer, Jack Steuf, has left the blog.
God knows what is in Trig’s mind. He may stay young and not develop beyond a 8 year old, but to say that is a life not worth living, is hatred revealed. Careless of those whom he may be hurting.
Ignore this man whose mind is likely a piece of excrement; or perhaps just lying around in it. It suits him. Other parents of limited development say one thing for sure ... what they learn from the child is pure love. It is a hard road to walk; but what they experience is humbling.
And Jimmy Carters sister Ruth reached out to him, in kindness.
Whoa - some big guns here. That’s a lot of revenue Wonkette will be losing.
This man’s comments are truly revolting. He not only assumes Sarah kept Trig because she didn’t want to “say” she’d had an abortion (apparently in his tiny mind, a woman wouldn’t actually not want to abort her child, not just say she didn’t), he continually refers to him as “it.”
Yup.
Good.
And we’re in the market for cars and Toyota’s were some we were most seriously considering.
This perv can often be found dining at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. I would love take a steaming dump on his Mr. Chow Noodles and then watch the waiter serve it to him in great anticipation.
I agree. We need to read what a porno sick twisted mind thinks/says?
* I remember reading (was it on FR?) an article about a young lady with DS that took classes in Spanish . She earned a B- . As the writer/professor put it, she "worked her ass off" to get that B, while more intelligent classmates didn't work as hard and so got Cs or lower. Even college level work is withing reach for many DS people, especially those who are highly motivated.
But you know what? I'm going to pray for Larry Flynt.
And you know why? Because it is a tribute to Almighty God when we say to Him, "Lord, your goodness is beyond our comprehension. Please show Larry Flynt the way to salvation. Only You could be good to one so wretchedly in need of Your mercy."
Hustler is soft-porn? I know the culture has continued to degenerate, but I don’t think it’s reached the level that hustler is considered soft.
we’re very lucky to have opponents like larry and schultz
Good information. Someone may find it useful.
“Then, he went after Trig, saying, “She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A virtual vegetable.”
Waiting for the outrage from PC leftists.....
“Hustler is soft-porn?...”
Even some hardcore pornography is not as offensive as what Flint produces. He brings a certain ugliness to everything including the nude form and sex.
Says more than one thousand words.
Does anyone really care what the Flynt pervert thinks?
Oh, wow. That man is one sick individual. Even the reporter was shocked.
