One Scumbag Plus One Scumbag Equals Two Scumbags

Hustler publisher Larry Flynt decided to come out from wherever he came from to blast Jerry Falwell, Jr. and others for hypocrisy while pretending to be holier than thou. While Flynt, beloved by the male Left as a hero of "free speech," has a number of good points in his piece for Daily Beast, in the end he is a slimeball worse than Falwells Junior and Senior. Flynt made his fortune off trafficking women to make himself rich. He was a flesh peddler and a human rights abuser more extreme than Hugh Hefner. Flynt was worse than the Falwells since the latter didn't exploit women for profit.

Flynt's case regarded a parody rather than a cartoon of a popular liquor ad about Falwell's "first time," which clearly fell under First Amendment protections. There have been books written about this case. A book on the Flynt-Falwell case is the 1991 book, Jerry Falwell Vs. Larry Flynt by Rodney A. Smolla. It is available on Amazon and used bookstores.


I suppose the Daily Beast published this piece because they know Flynt is a scumbag, but you know the old saying: It takes one to know one.
