Maybe it's just me, but I see more honesty here from you leftist-commie-liberals ( ) than from the libs on other sites or MSM.

What about the conservative hypocrites and dirt bags? Your thread is kind of bias don't you think? There's plenty of hypocrites and dirt-bags to go around in all the political parties, liberal, conservative and even the new "conservative tea party."

You have to understand, Flynt is not bashing Down's Syndrome or people with it, rather he's accusing Palin of using her son for ratings.

Before we all condem the man for what he has stated, let us remember one thing: Larry Flint in one aspect is a hero and has fought more for the very right that we all exercise now than many of us have. While his remarks may be distasteful and his actions may seem vulgar, he has defended, even to the point where he is now paralyzed, the right to the freedom of speech. A person like that you can not just discount, cause he, like so many others, were willing to do what it took for the greater of all of the country.
Also in 1983, he leaked a surveillance tape to the media regarding John DeLorean. In the videos, when arresting DeLorean, the FBI is shown asking him whether he would rather defend himself or have "his daughter's head smashed in.". During the subsequent trial, he wore an American flag as a diaper and was jailed for six months for desecration of the flag.
Flynt disowned his eldest daughter, Tonya Flynt-Vega, after she became a Christian anti-pornography activist. In her 1998 book Hustled, she claims that Flynt sexually abused her as a child, often calling her names.[23] Flynt has denied the charges, claiming to have passed a polygraph test and to be in possession of a tape recording of his daughter admitting she made up the accusations for money.
On March 6, 1978, during a legal battle (see below) related to obscenity in Gwinnett County, Georgia, Flynt and his local lawyer, Gene Reeves, Jr., were shot by a sniper in an ambush near the county courthouse in Lawrenceville. The shooting left Flynt partially paralyzed, with permanent spinal cord damage, and required that he use a wheelchair. White supremacist serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin confessed to the shootings many years later, claiming he was outraged by an interracial photo shoot in Hustler. Franklin, who is currently on death row for an unrelated murder conviction, has never been brought to trial for the attempted killing. Flynt has made statements indicating he believes Franklin's story, and some police officials also concur. 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.
Flynt is a Democrat though he once attempted a Presidential run as a Republican. He is a staunch critic of the Warren Commission and offered $1 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the assassin of John F. Kennedy. He once tried to link the attempt on his own life to the Kennedy assassination. In 2003, Flynt was a candidate in the recall election of California Governor Gray Davis, calling himself a "smut peddler who cares".[36] He finished 7th in a field of 135 candidates.
