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.

..... .... ... In other news, Francisco Franco is STILL DEAD. Story at 11.
AMF!
I would have predicted he’d be dead 20+ years ago
Strange how things work out sometimes.
And yet at 78, three days after his demise, he is still being posted about.
Stiiiiiil Dead.
American Machine & Foundry ;-)
My dad owned a AMF garden tractor.
Sucker was only 8 hp but man would that thing push snow. Incredible torque and well balanced.
I have to admit I looked at numerous Hustler mags in my misguided youth
Yes he is...
Bless his little heart. RIP.
The average Congress-critter today makes Larry Flynt look like a saint in comparison.
I would rather have someone publishing smut than someone calling me names and trying to shut me up....
I made Bowling pin return Stamping for them; remember my first trip there(Shelby ,Ohio) I think it was. Being from New York, when I stopped at a gas station for directions, I thought I was in the Deep South, wasn’t really expecting an accent in Ohio.
Well, here’s to praying more perverts are on their way out the door and straight to hell!
He repented and did accept Christ at one time.
He changed Hustler into some kind of "Adam and Eve" quasi-religious magazine, but it about tanked.
He gave up his religious phase pretty quickly and went back to his money making and porn.
He was quite anti-Christian and pro-leftist after that.
I agree! Too late now!
Same here.
“I really miss the 1970s.”
Enough technology, but not too much. The best music and the best cars, (including the used beauties from the 50’s and 60’s for nothing!)
I thought he was shot from a distance with a rifle.
“I guarantee that he is severely regretting his life right now.”
Hell is a horrible place. Please avoid it by accepting the Lord, attending His Church and getting His sacrament of confession.
Hell has people who cannot eat, cannot breath and cannot sit down. They stand on maggots and stand next to fifteen foot demons. Everyone in hell wishes they were never born, wishes they would be reduced to dust, and regrets every single thing that they did in life, forever. No one in hell is allowed to say one word: “Mary.”
Hustler mag and Playboy mag promoted one false statement: a pregnant girl is a broken toy that needs to be fixed by abortion. Sick mags.
Just get to confession asap.
It should be noted that a normal night of “entertainment” on HBO or Showtime is probably more perverted and disgusting today than an issue of HUSTLER was in the 1970s. That’s how far our culture has fallen.
Enjoy Hell, Larry! This was what you were fighting for all those years.
