Sarah Palin’s son Trig is in the news again following the liberal blog Wonkette bashing her and saying her son, who has Down Syndrome, is “retarded” and “somewhat alive.” Now Hustler published Larry Flynt has gotten in on the attacks.
Flynt is no stranger to controversial comments over the years as the head of the soft-cord pornographic magazine and a free speech advocate, but his comments about Sarah Palin’s son may be some of the most over-the-top remarks he’s made to date.
In a new interview with the London Independent newspaper, Flynt rambled from topic to topic until he settled on Palin, who is considering whether to run for the Republican nomination for president this year.
“Sarah Palin is the dumbest thing. But I made a fortune off of her. [He made a porn film called Nailin' Palin, based on her],” he said.
Then, he went after Trig, saying, “She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A virtual vegetable.”
Flynt followed up on the Wonkette theme — that Palin is supposedly exploiting Trig by having him with her at some political events — by saying, “She carries it to all these different political events against abortion, she did it just because she didn’t want to say she’d had an abortion. How long is it going to live? Another 12, 15 years? Doesn’t even know it’s in this world.”
“So what kind of compassionate conservative is she? I don’t think anybody will want her near the White House,” Flynt added.
The London Independent reporter, Johann Hair, was left speechless: “I am so thrown by the unpleasantness of all this I don’t even interject.”
In its attack on Palin and her disabled son, the Wonkette post commented on his birthday and said, “What’s he dreaming about? Nothing. He’s retarded. His mom went to a lot of trouble to leak amniotic fluid over 8 states to make sure that he arrived in this world somewhat alive.
The Wonkette story prompted a massive conservative backlash on Twitter and calls for major advertisers to pull their advertising. Several companies such as Papa Johns, Huggies and Vanguard dropped their ads and others soon followed suit.
Wonkette eventually removed the post and issued a tepid apology and the writer, Jack Steuf, has left the blog.
Count me in on that, Wagglebee ..
Trig Palin has ALOT more going on upstairs than Larry Flynt!
I have never heard that quote before but it really fits. He does have a face that he deserves.
I wonder about people... I really do. His mind is so warped and he is so committed to living a bad life. Almost a defiance to anything good.

Good reasoning.
Truly, liberalism is a disease, a sickness of the first order.
Like smallpox, it cannot be allowed to survive.
Flint is what he is by his own actions and his own choosing.
IOW, he has no excuse for being the piece of human debris that he is.
Trig Palin on the other hand was born with (Someone correct me if I am wrong please) what is commonly referred to as “Downs syndrome”. Other than the distinctive physical features of the syndrome, the other obvious common feature seems to be an outgoing and very friendly, loving disposition and a tendency to treat everyone around them as if they are just another friend they haven’t met yet.
Gosh, what a terrible affliction. /s
It is almost incomprehensible the nastiness of so many leftist that spew their vomit on the web. I wonder if since there have become so very many of them if many are not the products of having sealed their consciences and hardened their hearts because they either had an abortion or contributed to someone else having one. Maybe they are examples of what living unrepentant of murder does to the soul.
Flynt is a very unique person in the sense that he speaks out of his rectum and what he speaks always comes from rectums.
