skinflint?!.....RIP: Larry Flynt [ pRONman ]..... - NewtonMP2100 - 02-10-2021 ......78...... Larry Flynt Dies: Hustler Founder, Subject Of Award-Winning Film And Landmark First Amendment Case Was 78 ....Hustler founder Larry Flynt has died at 78. The Washington Post confirmed the news with his brother Jimmy. No cause of death was given. Flynt made his fortune with Hustler magazine and associated businesses, but he made a name for himself by challenging cultural norms. Injured by an assailant’s bullet in 1978....... Re: skinflint?!.....RIP: Larry Flynt [ pRONman ]..... - Ombligo - 02-11-2021 Often forgotten or overlooked is that Larry Flynt was an extremely strong advocate for the first amendment. Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell was a landmark 1988 SCOTUS decision. It allowed that public figures could be parodied and removed any tort actions against the publication. For that, thank you Mr. Flynt and RIP Re: skinflint?!.....RIP: Larry Flynt [ pRONman ]..... - wave rider - 02-11-2021 Ombligo wrote: Important work, RIP LF. Re: skinflint?!.....RIP: Larry Flynt [ pRONman ]..... - rjmacs - 02-11-2021 A misogynist who ended up being a pawn in the fight for free speech. He had a nice long life.

LOL Re: skinflint?!.....RIP: Larry Flynt [ pRONman ]..... - Rick-o - 02-11-2021 R.I.P. I don't like speaking ill of the dead. I read his magazine back when I was a teen. It was outrageous. Today, I don't think I could stomach it. Re: skinflint?!.....RIP: Larry Flynt [ pRONman ]..... - Rolando - 02-12-2021 I remember "reading" a Hustler for the first time.... Hustler? Yes he was first amendment crusader? Absolutely. And I could be cancelled for this in future. Re: skinflint?!.....RIP: Larry Flynt [ pRONman ]..... - macphanatic - 02-12-2021 He also bought revealing photos (and the rights to them) of a female soldier for a large sum of money with no intention of publishing them.

But that doesn't change the fact that he was deeply misogynistic, and mistreated women throughout his career.
