WASHINGTON — Police in Tarpon Springs, Fla., said there was "no question" that Deborah Jeane Palfrey committed suicide by hanging Thursday, but that was not enough to stop immediate speculation that the infamous "D.C. Madam" was the victim of murder. Hustler magazine publisher and free-speech advocate Larry Flynt -- one of Palfrey's staunchest advocates -- was the strongest voice forwarding the notion that Palfrey's death was not by her own hands. "I think the media should be very cautious in treating this as a suicide," Flynt told FOXNews.com in a telephone interview from his Beverly Hills office. Asked if he...

As her instant celebrity status continues to climb in the wake of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, Ashley Alexandra Dupre has now received a $1 million offer to bare it all.

And, you might ask, who is next on Flynt's list to expose? He does name three to Handy, but not for publication. What we do know: * a Republican presidential candidate * a well-known Republican senator * another "prominent conservative official" (this is described in the article as involving "hooker parties and no-tell-motel liaisons"

WASHINGTON -- Larry Flynt is claiming credit for outing Sen. David Vitter's connection to the so-called D.C. Madam. The Hustler magazine publisher said his staff called Vitter's office Monday, saying they knew his telephone number appeared on a list from Deborah Jeane Palfrey's escort service. "Vitter ran to the Associated Press in an attempt to get ahead of the story," Flynt's office said. In a statement released late Monday night, Vitter said he "received forgiveness from God" and his wife several years ago. Vitter, whose telephone number was disclosed by Palfrey, said he is sorry for a "serious sin" and...

A Democratic Party blogger says he wants to shoot Rush Limbaugh and is calling for volunteers to assassinate rock star Ted Nugent, who champions the Second Amendment. Hart Williams, a former writer for porn magazine Hustler and who now toils for the Democratic Daily, was waxing incoherent about a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed by Nugent, complaining that it was likely ghost-written. "How we can remain 'civil' in the face of this is beyond my ken," wrote Williams. "I will only reiterate what I've said WHEN they manage to inevitably push their litany of hatespeak into actual bloodletting, and full-blown...

HUSTLER magazine in the United States is looking for some scandalous sex in Washington again - and is willing to pay for it. "Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" read a full-page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine in Sunday's Washington Post. It offered $US1 million for documented evidence of illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder. A toll-free number and email address were provided. The last time Flynt made such an offer was in October 1998 during the drive...

Hustler Hollywood will open a retail store in Berkeley in June By Kim Bell and Norm Parish ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Wednesday, Apr. 25 2007 BERKELEY — Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, is opening a retail store in June not far from Lambert Field that will sell sex toys, lingerie and other adult-oriented products. A vinyl fence in the rear of the property, to be called Hustler Hollywood, separates it from a Berkeley neighborhood. And Preston Park, a playground with children's climbing equipment and a slide, will sit below a Hustler Hollywood sign the store plans to hoist atop...

The facade is beginning to peel back from the so-called ministry of Southern California Pastor Rick Warren, author of "The Purpose Driven Church" and "The Purpose Driven Life." Unfortunately, many among his ample flock have far too much invested in him, both emotionally and otherwise, to admit their mistakes and cut their losses. Moreover, he certainly faces no possibility of in-depth scrutiny from the "mainstream media," as his brand of "Christianity" poses little or no threat to their liberal social agenda. Yet to the degree that anyone at all questions Warren as anything less than authentic, his response is thoroughly...

Jesse Jackson is now heavily involved in the racist rant put forth by Michael Richards aka 'Kramer' from the popular '90's hit television sitcom Seinfeld.

Jesse Jackson Wants a Seinfeld Boycott for Kramer Tirade Jackson, has called Richards' words "hateful," "sick," and "deep-seated, and for once in his life jess Jackson is right. ***...

We're headed in the wrong direction. Americans across lines of race and region, in red states and blue states -- moderates, independents, liberals and increasing numbers of conservatives -- have now come to understand that. In Washington, the Bush administration and the DeLay Congress stagger from scandal to failure, adrift when we need direction. We have lost a sense of common purpose -- a sense of the better angels of our nature. I remember immediately after Sept. 11, when Americans asked what they could do for their country. "Go shopping," the president recommended, as he pushed for another tax cut...

OMAHA, Neb. -- Doug Hall's story is the story of an addict. Recovering for years from a drug addiction and alcoholism, his latest battle is pornography. Hall said he went from Playboy, to videos, to online porn, to jail. "My view of sex was all a skewed," Hall said. Hall said his addiction began simply. Years ago he saw his father reading a Playboy magazine. "First it was Playboy and then it's Penthouse, then it's Hustler, then it's -- you just name it. Name your poison," Hall said. When Hall turned to videos, he said, he couldn't wait to get...

Paris - American porn mogul Larry Flynt said he may decide to go into exile if George W Bush is re-elected president of the United States. "If Bush is re-elected - but I don't want to even consider the thought for one second - I really have to think about living somewhere else," Flynt said early Monday in a strip club on the Champs Elysees in Paris where he was celebrating his 62nd birthday. Flynt, who made his fortune after publishing the popular porn magazine Hustler, said he had come to Paris to "escape the nauseating atmosphere of the electoral...

LAS VEGAS -- Former President Bill Clinton rallied Democrats in Nevada on Friday, hoping to energize voters just four days before the election to give John Kerry enough momentum to win this battleground state. Clinton, who carried Nevada in both his presidential bids, spoke of his accomplishments during eight years in the White House and drew parallels to what the country could expect from a Kerry administration. "We can make a fresh start," Clinton told the cheering crowd. "And I know John Kerry. He will make a good president if you elect him on Tuesday." About 4,000 people gathered on...

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt is expanding his pornography empire to South Florida, opening an upscale sex shop despite opposition from this city's mayor and others. Hustler Hollywood is supposed to open Friday, and Flynt is scheduled to visit on Aug. 3. "In every city we open a store there is always some politician who needs to showboat before his religious or conservative constituents about keeping us out," said Flynt, 61, who's currently on a national 19-city book tour. Mayor Jim Naugle and city Commissioner Dean Trantalis had spearheaded an attempt to block Flynt by...

Explicit magazines, personal photographs will become illegal By Mike Ward AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Saturday, April 3, 2004 State officials on Friday approved a policy that bans all sexually explicit images from Texas' prisons for the first time in decades. No more Hustler. No more Playboy. No more naked, thinking-of-you photos from a girlfriend or boyfriend. "Under this new rule, they're gone," said Gary Johnson, executive director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. "We're trying to change the culture in our institutions -- to a better culture for our staff, especially the female correctional officers, a better culture for the inmates...

'Killer Culture': A call to the churches Posted: January 26, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern Editor's note: Early in 2003, while preparing our February Whistleblower issue (titled "Taking America Back") on restoring the nation's political, cultural and spiritual heritage, our editors asked WorldNetDaily columnist, veteran talk-show host and media expert Bob Just to write on what role America's churches should play in taking America back. The issues he addressed in that story – centered around today's neo-pagan and highly sexualized youth culture – were so potent that we decided not to publish it in that edition, but instead to produce an...

NEW YORK (AP)--New York City has agreed to pay $200,000 in damages to Al Sharpton after he was stabbed nearly 13 years ago at a protest where he said police failed to protect him. The settlement, which also covers the Democratic presidential candidate's $7,447.76 hospital bill, came as jury selection was to begin Monday in his decade-old civil case against the New York Police Department. Sharpton claimed police were ``careless, negligent and reckless'' during the 1991 incident, said his lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein. Sharpton, a civil rights activist, was protesting what he considered lenient sentencing of white defendants in the 1989...

After 35 years in the business of titillating and offending, pornographer Al Goldstein says his magazine can't compete anymore. The audience is just as large, he says, but the Internet has transformed the product and its delivery. Just over a month ago, Goldstein stopped publishing Screw magazine and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, giving him a chance to cut costs, relaunch the magazine and refocus attention on his Web site. Similar pressures are seen throughout the adult publishing field. Bob Guccione's General Media Inc., for instance, has also filed for Chapter 11 protection, although the company's trademark Penthouse magazine continues...

Larry believes that while he may be the American poster boy for sleaze; he openly portrays himself as a “smut peddler,” Californians will overlook his penchant for pornography. WorldNet Daily reports Larry as saying, ‘“California is the most progressive state in the union,’ Flynt told the Los Angeles Times. ‘I don't think anyone here will have a problem with a smut peddler as governor.’”

Barr . . . has filed suit in a Washington federal court against the former president, Clinton loyalist James Carville and politically active pornographer Larry Flynt seeking compensatory damages "in excess of $30 million" for "loss of reputation and emotional distress" and "injury in his person and property" allegedly caused by these three -- who Barr claims conspired to "hinder [the plaintiff] in the lawful discharge of his duties."
