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.

Larry Flatflynt is proof that some shooting victims should not have triage.
And one of the leading standard-bearers of the Democrat Party.
Which is pretty much the same thing, come to think of it.
There is a seat in HELL for this guy. Yep I said it without replacement of the letters. If I am banned, I would stand by this statement anyway. These comments from Flynt are disgusting and actually we should probably pull this entire thread because we already know what a pig he is even without this information.
It's blood-curdling.
Given Flynt’s own physical issues, he’s one to talk. Glass wheelchairs Larry.
It’s always instructive to see how true scum denigrates innocence.

Someone needs to turn that pig into worm food.
Ever see Kiss of Death with Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo?
That’s an understatement.
BTW, the more Flatflynt mouths off, the more obvious it is that he is a typical liberal and exposing that filth has some merit because maybe, just maybe, one or two of his fellow travelers in liberalism will wake up and realize that normal people type them with this dead-soul scum.
I think he’s proof that shooters should get more practice and learn to 3-tap shoot.
I think I’ve seen a couple posts by Flynt on the forum lately...
On a lighter note
Being shot
Flynt’s injuries caused him excruciating, constant pain, and he was addicted to painkillers until multiple surgeries deadened the affected nerves. He also suffered a stroke caused by one of several overdoses of his analgesic medications; he recovered but has had pronunciation difficulties since.
Just look at all the love emanating from Larry in that pic. /sarc
Flynt is engaging in projection. He should look in the mirror and say that about himself.
Rush Limbaugh said it today, with regard to Ed Schultz.
Don’t censor the guy!
Let him talk!
You couldn’t do any more damage to Larry Flynt than he is doing to himself by saying this.
To use a favorite Leftist expression, it’s just DELICIOUS!
Flynt seems angry. He should just walk it off.
