Larry Flynt: 'President Obama Has Overperformed ... Done a Marvelous Job'
The Weekly Standard ^ | MAY 22, 2012 | JOHN MCCORMACK

Posted on 05/24/2012 11:25:22 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Hustler publisher endorses Obama, says "iodine deficiency" is the cause of religion.

In an interview with Reihan Salam for Vice magazine, pornographer Larry Flynt reveals that he's now a hardcore supporter of President Obama's just two years after calling Obama an "ineffectual wimp" for giving in too much to Republicans.

"I think President Obama has overperformed," Flynt says. "He got handed on his platter when he became president more than any president in history ever had to deal with.... I think he's done a marvelous job."

In the wide-ranging interview with Salam, Flynt talks about his brief but "profound" religious experience in the 1970s, as well as his views on why pornography is good for society.

"I did have a very profound religious experience," Flynt said. "I sought out a psychiatrist immediately after it happened to me."

"This is largely thought to be because of an iodine deficiency in your diet," Flynt recalls his psychiatrist telling him.

"Do you think that more devoutly religious Americans would be less devoutly religious if they just ate more salt?" Salam asks Flynt.

“...Flynt talks about his brief but “profound” religious experience in the 1970s, as well as his views on why pornography is good for society.”

Pornography is ‘cool’ doncha know!!?

“The public has been so bullied intellectually by the proponents of contemporary art that it has wearily resigned itself to just about any idiocy that is placed before it ... But the common man has his limits, and they are reached when some of these things emerge from the sanctuary of the padded cells of galleries and museums and are put in public places, where the public is forced to live with them and pay for them ... The current philosophy and practice of art thrives on a belief system of deliberate contempt for the public ... They are after more than our money. They are ridiculing traditional values, and trying to destroy them, and casting themselves in the role of victims once again when we object ... “ Frederick Hart, Fall 1989 Arts Quarterly.

I know that the Good Lord would be willing that NONE should perish, BUT I hope Larry Flynt, Hugh Hefner and “Dr” Alfred Kinsey end up in Hell forever.

And while we are talking about the GOP’s War on Women... what does the Obama campain have to say about Larry Flint and Hustler?

I guess as long as the girls in Flint’s mag have free contraceptives, Obama doesn’t care.

Do as I say but not as I do?

Larry Flynt’s support of Obozo just means that he LOVES to be bent over.

If it does happen, Barry would fit on one of those 1/8 page front cover foldouts made of tissue paper, whereas, Mooochelle would require an 8-panel-heavy-card stock foldout to accommodate her massive carcass.
