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.
Have you ever noticed how some people wear their ugliness on their faces? Flynt is one of those people. He looks depraved and ugly. A bit pathetic as well.

Flynt is a typical Godless leftist that worships anything but the Creator.
You’re not kidding. He’s demonic.
Let’s give Flynt an IQ test and determine his useflness to society.
Larry Flynt is a guy that was spared death so people could see what true scum is really like.
Other than that, there is noreason for this dirtbag.
Evil does exist and controls some. This guy is a sick evil individual.
The interview is just sickening to read.
When POLITICALLY driven degenerates can only attack an opponent by assaulting verbally a child blind, deaf, crippled or with Downs, you may be sure that that degenerate and his/her ilk are TERRIFIED of the parent.
Think of the unbridled joy in DEMOCRATVILLE on the discovery that a Republican child has cancer, a bad heart, or any other dread affliction. The champagne would surely flow.
I would classify these people(?) as animals, except that I have known some wonderful animals.
Project much, Flint?
You know, Trig Palin can still bring happiness to this world. Larry Flynt? He just spreads his misery around to others. Trig Palin is human. Larry Flynt? No, not human. A wretched, puss-oozing boil on the ass of a rabid skunk.
He’s just renewing his low-life creds.
Flynt is more handicapped from the head up than from the head down. But he was that way from birth.
Larry Flynt is the penance we have to pay to enjoy the Second Amendment, but he is such an amusing clown when he tries to sound intelligent that is almost worth the price.
And modern day British Tabloids are the price we have to pay for Magna Charta and Adam Smith. Despite the pain, its worth the price.
I have some good comments likewise but will exercise the same restraint so as not to lower myself to his level.
the late Jerry Falwell must have had to work SO hard to live the Gospel and to try and love and befriend this guy
And he represents the vast majority of liberals in the US perfectly.
I think Trig is smarter and more alive than Flynt.
I am completely convinced that liberals become the most enraged when they see conservatives doing the right thing.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.
