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.

The reality is the courts only support free speech for those who mock Christianity.
78? I thought he was millions of years older than that.
He came to Bill Clinton’s aid during Clinton’s impeachment by releasing scandalous information on Republican politicians. It did not work with Henry Hyde who refused to be blackmailed.
I guarantee that he is severely regretting his life right now.
Again?
They say it happens in 3’s.
Soros?
Hillary?
I really miss the 1970s.
I didn’t realize the shooting which paralyzed him was that far back (1978). I recall when it happened.
Welcome off my shit list.
Me too. Total surprise.

A sleazy, sick man.
Reminds me of pedojoe.
Hallelujah!!
Not likely to be missed. Champion of First Amendment rights, suuuuure. And Adolf Hitler had a dog that loved him.
Both were vile people
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Poor larry, given over to his reprobate mind. IF he was born again, his shame before GOD will be hideous in the main
Welcome to Hell Larry. Get used to it. You’ll be here a long, long time.
Talk about no redeeming value! Buh bye Larry.
