Larry Flynt — the notorious porn peddler who built a smut empire out of his “Hustler” magazine and fashioned himself into a champion of the First Amendment — died on Wednesday. He was 78. Flynt, whose death was first reported by TMZ, had suffered from a slew of health problems since a 1978 murder attempt that left him paralyzed from the waist down.

The controversial mogul and self-described First Amendment champion was known for challenging the establishement and his myriad legal battles involving free speech and pornography regulations.

He often clashed with feminist groups and the religious right, and was once sued by televangelist the Rev. Jerry Falwell in a case that made it to the US Supreme Court.

Flynt was portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the Oscar-nominated 1996 film, “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” which chronicled the pornographer’s life, including his court clash with Falwell.

you worded that wrong. It is the “courts” that are a “mockery”.

You have been listening to Norman Vincent Peal and have taken it just a step too far. At my age, I don’t need a “fairy” to cause their demise. I’ll just “outlive” them.

Graduated high school in 1975; my son and I went to a vintage car show a couple of years ago, I told him “this looks like my high school parking lot.”

A “man” so evil, sleazy, only “Hollywood” would make a movie glorifying him.

Joseph Paul Franklin’s mistake, was trying to kill him by shooting him, not thru his skull, but thru his heart. If you know anything about Flynt, you knew HE NEVER HAD A HEART!!!!

No. I guess you've never seen the filth on pay movie channels. Netflix recently tried to sneak through twerking 10-year-old girls. That's the Obama Channel, by the way.
