Larry Flynt on The Henry Rollins Show! Pt 2

[wolfie138]

there's two types of people opposed to pornography : those who don't know what they're talking about and those who don't know what they're missing

:-D

fabulous quote.

[fotizome]

even if you dislike flynt u have to admire his candor and lack of pretension, he was definitely unimpressed with Rollins and didnt believe his conviction, you cant bullshit flynt, the host is a fkn wanabee

[ALOSTAMERICAN]

This man is worth more than Microsoft and Apple put together IMO, Larry Flynt, I salute you Sir.

[armin38822]

no south park if he wouldn't go and do what he did ?

[CoolerKing37]

@armin38822 Sure. Take for example the ruling of Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, which protected unflattering portrayals of celebrities and public figures under the 1st ammendment. Without that, South Park wouldn't be able to make fun of Tom Cruise, Kanye, Barbara Streisand, etc without being sued for "emotional distress".

[xxdonaldqxx]

So lets see,Larry Flint won't release nude pictures of a women he agrees with or likes. However the piece of shit will smear women with naked pictures he disagrees with or doesn't like.How noble of him.He said why ruin the life of a nineteen year old girl.Yet that slob has no problem ruining the life of nineteen year old girls he doesn't like or disagrees with.What hunk of shit Larry Flint is.

[jw870206]

@xxdonaldqxx He would have released the photos of Jessica if she decided to play along with those puppeteers that were trying to keep up appearances and make good juicy stories for the news media to print and show on television. If she would have went along with that masquerade, she would have been no better than Bush or Cheney or even Karl Rove (a chill just passed through the room), and thus she would have deserved to be smeared. Flynt is a hero for civil liberties you and I take for granted.

[xxdonaldqxx]

@jw870206 No matter what if Flint smeared that women he would be no better than the people who orchestrated the baloney about her being a hero.There should be no circumstances for slander and scandalizing in this nation .Should his magazine have printed the plain truth and exposed the lies yes.However scandalizing a person is disgusting.

[trm10111]

@xxdonaldqxx and I don't understand why you say "scandalizing" people. Come on man, prime example, the idea the Jerry Falwell had sex with his mother in an outhouse is so ridiculous and absurd that no human being with a right mind would even consider it to be true. What he does is satire, clearly meant to be taken as a joke, it certainly isn't "slander" or "scandalizing", its joking. Granted, its in extremely poor taste, but its satire nontheless. Who are you or I to regulate people's taste?

[mickdel]

@xxdonaldqxx

I think most of the less well read amongst us, have missed your point entirely.

[mickdel]

@jw870206

You mean if Jessica had gone along with the charade, she would have deserved a good ol smearing? A nineteen year old girl, who was probably naieve enough to think that the scumbag who took the photos, wouldn't try and hawk them to the highest bidder to turn a quick buck, deserved to be destroyed in public for giving in to more scumbags who also wanted to take advantage of her?

To hear Flynt saying he would have published in those circumstances = he deserved the bullet.

[jw870206]

@mickdel It's not about the fact that she's a woman of 19. If she would go along with a tyrannical regime's charade of good will to the Middle East when it's just 21st Century Imperialism; you bet your ass, I don't care what her circumstances were; if she had gone along with the charade, publish away. That tyrannical regime did more to destroy our civil liberties than any other White House Administration in the history of this country. I'm thinking about the bigger picture, not one person.

[jw870206]

@mickdel What that regime worked to destroy and undermine is bigger than any one person, no matter how much that person has sacrificed. Liberty is bigger than any one person. It is bigger than 10 or 100 or even 300 million—especially a vast majority of 300 million that don't give a fucking rat's shit covered ass about their rights.

[mickdel]

@mickdel

I detest that regime more than you might think, having worked closely with some of it's agencies prior to and including the invasion of Iraq (it's pronounced phonetically e-raq (e as in bed), not eye-raq. That get's on everyone's tits for a start. But, no, they were morally bankrupt, war criminals, and they screwed America just as much as the horror they inflicted on other countries.

However, lowering yourself to their level, makes you as bad as them. Contradiction?

[13377r3331f]

@mickdel you're a monster and you need to watch the people vs larry flynt before you can even begin to understand someone you've only just barely heard of. You're an imbecile, and this is one of those situations where you are targetting an individual who is at the top of the list for debating and winning in supreme court on this very topic. in summary, you lose.

[mickdel]

@13377r3331f

er, lose? I wasn't aware this was a game :) Just to be clear, I have seen the movie, although they really should have found a fat cripple that drools on himself to do ol' Larry justice. Flynt's epic battle isn't an example of justice being seen to be done, it simply demonstrates that with enough money and high powered lawyers you're justice system is found sadly wanting..... I'd look elsewhere for a civil liberty role model if I was you.

[13377r3331f]

@mickdel In summary you have proven that an intelligent master plan to tread on and rebel against the society of religious pussyfooters and retarded morality rapists evades you and you see only deliquence. and yeah apparently a trial and a game to you are pretty much the same thing, im not going to draw this out for you in a four part diagram, if you dont get it you're just going to have to take a new approach to pulling your head out of your ass.

[jw870206]

@xxdonaldqxx So how about showing some fucking gratitude for what he fought for you to keep.

[xxdonaldqxx]

@jw870206 What exactly is that? I had a first amendment right to freedom of speech long before the pornographer Flint came along. So I guess you mean the right to watch whatever degenerate garbage I choose to look at.

[jw870206]

@xxdonaldqxx I'm talking about Flynt's battle with Falwell and the right to parody people without being under the gun for litigation for slander or libel (depending on the medium through which the parody is presented). If it wasn't for this case, then so many great comedic moments would never have happened, and that's just one example of what this case did. Yes you did have that right before Flynt v. Falwell, but Flynt v. Falwell took the 1st Amendment in the right direction.

[trm10111]

@xxdonaldqxx Yes, you did in theory, but there were those in the world who did many many things to censor ideas they didn't agree with. We used to arrest kids during Vietnam War protests because we didn't like the fact that they used naughty words when they spoke to crowds. So when you say "the right to watch whatever degenerate garbage I choose to look at" youre absolutely correct, or choose NOT to look at. Also, if youre too dumb to realize what he did went far beyond porn, youre narrow-minded

[NATIONALCOMMUNISM666]

@xxdonaldqxx

Man Fuck you you have no clue what you'r talking About!

Lary flint rule's!

[BluntVendetta]

doing immoral business doesnt make a person immoral.....just like doin good business doesnt mean a person has good morals!

[TheBattleZombie]

Wow this was a really good interview. I expect nothign less from henry, but this one was one of the best.

[iloveyourstory]

very good interview

[StrwberryCoff]

I was wondering if there are federal laws regarding pornography? If so how did the Bush Administration limit free speech? Porn is available and I'd assume all regulations are at the local level.

[ScipioXXX]

The same way the got Tommy Chong for selling bongs with his face on it -- on a technicality - they got Max Hardcore that way under Bush Jr. look up what happened to Max Hardcore and ask how the Bush Administration was able to limit free speech regarding pornography...By the way, pornography IS ILLEGAL - look up the Meese Commision - porn stars are not paid for pornography, they are paid for acting - that's why the have to sign contracts stating so

[HolyHellPreacher]

Porn stars do act. They get paid to act like sluts. They are acting in the movies. Do you think they enjoy being in those movies?

The Meese Commission was a debacle. The Commission was filled with anti-porn crusaders. A totally biased waste of time. What else do you expect from Reagan?

[ScipioXXX]

Yes, they do. As someone who works in the adult business and knows MANY, MANY, MANY adult porn stars, I can honestly say that most are happy and PROUD. Whenever there is one who ISN'T - she makes national headlines - like Linda Lovelace - out of the thousands of adult porn actresses, only one or two have ever said they regretted it. Try talking about something you know about before you go and run your big fucking mouth you Bible thumping piece of shit

[HolyHellPreacher]

I love porn. But, I find it hard to believe that they are doing it for anything other than money. Come on, the guys they fuck are gross. They get fucked in the most uncomfortable, awkward positions. They contract diseases. Sounds like fun!

Most have been traumatized and are mentally unstable. I'm thankful for that. Otherwise, there would be no porn!

They are whores. Nothing wrong with whores. I've heard them refer to themselves as whores.

[ScipioXXX]

You're so off, I don't know where to begin..."They contract diseases. Sounds like fun! " only two porn stars have ever contacted any STD...AIDS and STD checks are mandatory...second...

"Most have been traumatized and are mentally unstable." -- where do you get this shit? do you have any evidence or are you just talking out of your ass again?  why don't you try taslking to one of these girls yourself and see what they tell you.

[HolyHellPreacher]

Getting tested once a month doesn't account for people that "actors" and "actresses" have slept with outside of the movies. You can fuck a lot of people and contract all kinds of shit in a month.

"only two porn stars have ever contacted any STD"

Only two have contracted "any STD"? (I think you mean AIDS.) Did you watch Sasha Grey on Tyra banks? She discusses acquiring gonorrhea and other STDs. She must be 1 of 2 then.

[ScipioXXX]

Sasha Grey doesn't have anything. If she did, she would be barred from working in the business - its the law - if she was still working, the FBI would have shut her down with any production company that would do business with her. the FBI is always waiting for "the business" to slip up so they can have ANY justification to bring a case, ANY CASE against the business - I'm done talking with you- you're too dumb to even speak with

[HolyHellPreacher]

So, she's lying on national television? She must be nuts.

You must think the industry is heavily regulated. There's no way to keep that close a watch on so many movies being filmed simultaneously

[ScipioXXX]

Boy, you're really fucking naieve. Lying on national television? Oh my god - say it isn't so. I have two words for you: LINDA LOVELACE - she went on Donahue and all the take shows talking about how she was forced into the business and drugged, but then recanted it all and ending up doing nude photos in Hustler just before she died. You're right about the fact that there are SOME creeps in the business but most of us in the business hate those people if for no other reason than a bad name

[HolyHellPreacher]

Why am I arguing about this? As long as those broads take it in the cornhole and get all gooey at the end, I couldn't give a fuck.

[visualkei72]

@HolyHellPreache & ScipioXXX

I work in the industry, and a lot of the girls ARE messed up. Going on the set after doing blow, doing scenes while infected, it happens. Some STD tests aren't even 75% accurate.

You're naive to think there were only 2 women in the porn industry with STD's.

When we refer to the porn industry that includes gonzo too, shit that people get locked up for because they don't have the paperwork.

Workplace safety is a joke on a lot of porn sets.

[visualkei72]

-cont

Now, I don't think it's their fault. But let's face it, there is a shitload of girls being taken advantage of because they need money to support themselves, or their habit.

They're using means of work that continue their state of self-deprecation, because a lot of these girls are ex-prostitutes, some still pimped.

I acknowledge that some of the girls need help, and it's sad to watch porn sometimes, i.e., Tori Lane. But the minority in the jizzbiz are women that have their shit together.

[HolyHellPreacher]

What's wrong with Tori Lane?

[visualkei72]

@HolyHellPreacher

A prolapsing anus before 30, and severe mental health issues.

[xxxIronLeexxx]

Fuck yeah!!! right on.

[TDevil01]

I have more respect for this man than anyone could imagine. People may not like what he does for a living, but people like me are damn grateful for what he stands for. He's paid a very high price for the single most important right we have, the one that makes us free.

I don't care what he looks like or how he sounds. Those are mere conditions of the battles he's fought. As long as he is alive, there will be at least one person looking out for our right to say what we want.

[Swidhelm]

I love his magazine :P And I agree with your statement entirely.

[lotuscorpse]

Well said sir. I don't think anybody could of put it in better words.

[Aschahin]

Hes like Jabba from Star Wars

[velocitygirl66]

Fabulous interview, thanks for posting!

[kafkazepam]

11 billions

[daynef1]

wonderfull interview

[ramtha9]

Yeah, he needs to clear his throat. I do not think he is good health. But I think Larry Flynt is a smart dude, and a more intelligent speaker than most. Bless you, Larry, for fighting for Free Speech, and thanks to Mr. Rollins for having him on. Cheers!

[brokeneckgiraffe]

he's paralyzed. he's probably not able to clear his throat. notice how his speech is slurred and his mouth doesn't move much in some places?

[vincentpricesnephew]

he was shot in 1978, and his speech supposedly was hurt from the strokes he had from pain killers

[OneVerySickMan]

Isnt it great, What larry has done, thanks to him and his fights for the freedom of speech that we hold dear, Jackoffs like Playsetman, SnakeCIA1, and of course COLORSNTRESS can come on here and bash the poor man relentlessly and do it without a shread of decency, intellect or conscience...god bless the completely stupid for without an enemy one can never be a hero and that`s just what Larry is ... a hero ... In my opinion of course...OVSM

[AcesWild347]

I don't understand the people on here who can't understand Larry, I can understand the man just fine and I say A-Men for what he has done, not only has this man stood up for our freedoms but he has also produced some of the finest adult material that has helped me a lot of others to relieve sexual tension. Adult entertainers are beautiful artist, the most natural and beautiful of all art.

[HonorableJ]

Idiot. Hope you don't get shot and made into an invalid. But if you are, let me know and I will come and make fun of you. Jerk.

[SnakeCIA1]

Gee your right I guess you love having sex with larry g i was wrong all this time. Hope that lard ass dont squish you

[playsetman]

talk and stop slobbering you fat faggot

[HonorableJ]

Idiot. I hope what happens to him happens to you.

[Akasha353]

I'm sorry but this needs subtitles. Hes got some very interesting things to say but I find it difficult to understand him.

[rudenoodle]

I respect that man!

[battlestroke7]

great!!!

[kiflarrgh]

and for fuck sake why he dont clean up his throat?

[stranger2Utube]

oh man... 'cause he can't! let me quote:

"bothgunsblazin (1 month ago)

Incorrect. His handicap was a result of the attempted assassination, but his speech difficulties are due to a stroke brought on by an overdose of pain medication prescribed to him to ease the pains associated with his disability. "

[HonorableJ]

He is an invalid because he was shot by a religious idiot. Do you like making fun of handicap people? Cruel dumbass. I bet you do.

[kiflarrgh]

i cant understand a shit what he is speaking

[GraeHall]

Wow - what an incredibly interesting (and non-mainstream) interview.

Props to rollins - and unexpectedly - props to Flynt.

[ElZomboFantasma]

All this feminist crap and whatever getting posted in response to this video, blah, blah, blah.

Pornographer or no, Larry Flynt is a great man who stood up for entertainers and all around people that take such freedoms as the ability to say and do whatever they want in a personally expressive manner for granted.

If it wasn't for Mr. Flynt, you'd all be nose-buried in bibles and nodding your head to a government that tells you whats right to say and do and what isn't.

[lmlynley]

Well, I am a feminist (for decades), female, gay, and PRO-SEX. I do not get turned on by Hustler's content because I see it (rightly I think) as extreme parody rather than good old wanking material, but Larry Flynt is a brave defender of Free Speech! Not all feminists hate sex!

[CitizenWorm]

"It's a male myth about feminists. Sex is a natural, zesty enterprise."

I'm sorry I couldn't help but quote Maude Lebowski. But yeah, I'm a feminist and I'm pro sex, pro man and pro woman. I hate how narrow most people think feminism is, so I agree with you.

[lmlynley]

Cool! One of the ways men keep women down is to control our sexuality. If we take the power back it is good for women and men and society. Whatever society makes taboo becomes all the rage. want a number 1 hit? Get it banned by a group of prudes!

[jackdupuis1]

great interview.

[FranklenWylder]

You know what causes sexual thoughts..... having a dick."

- Bill hicks

[KirkGodless]

I don't know much about 'hustler'. I'm down with the free speech stuff, both the parody and the explicit content. But how are the people who work for Flynt treated? Sometimes it seems like the American media is incapable of handling an ambivalent issue. Maybe Flynt is both a hero of free speech AND an exploiter of women? Then again maybe his models have a good deal, I don't know. There are more than two sides to a story, or a person, or an industry.

[jamesmorgandavies]

Good content ... & here's hoping the Anti-Sex-Leaguers can keep "clean" with that saltpeter supplement!

"NEUTER THEM ALL!"

[COLORSNTREES]

you morons need to look at the info on how girls get in the SEX INDUSTRY! NOT JUST PORN its called mental illness with cp-occuring substance abuse problems. do some research besides jerking off FUCK HEADS!

[C0SM1CDUD3]

yeah or it could be a need for money due to financial issues or just simply a deep enjoyment of sex or possibly a desire to appear on film OR maybe just to spite finger pointing narrow minded opinionated moral spitting assholes like you

[COLORSNTREES]

cosmic, get an education, you r a male correct? you need to justify your abuse, yes abuse, of females that were already abused, obviously no intelligence, just spewing attemps at kiddie insults, have fun with you hand, no real woman will ever want you

[C0SM1CDUD3]

talk about attempts at kiddie insults and where the fuck do you get off assuming that ALL porn actresses were abused? You're either a Fundie Christian, a PTA mom or a feminist. Or any combination of. Fuck off.

[COLORSNTREES]

lmao, so dumb but so easy to laugh at, r u afraid of researching the statistics? Oklahoma City banned strip clubs, rape rates dropped by 5%. Fundamentalist crap is what males like you use to justify using porn for lack of imagination. Even Stern asks porn stars when they were molested, thought you'd even know that. Have hairy palms yet?incorrect on all guesses btw but so much more intelligent than you obviously, ALL FUTURE RESPONSES TO THIS LAME ASS VIDEO WILL BE IGNORED LIKE YOU. Warm Regards

[OliverAB]

"ALL FUTURE RESPONSES TO THIS LAME ASS VIDEO WILL BE IGNORED LIKE YOU" So... Ignored by who? Someone important, or just ignored by you?

[SimonCowellAI]

trying not to masterbate is hard enough without a billion porno websites. Pornography incites lust, lust is wicked. Lust is fornication, it is not love, the channeling of one's sexual energy into the wooing of the goddess of the Universe is the meaning of life,

[PubliusD7]

"There's two types of people who are opposed to pornography: those who don't know what they're talking about, and those who don't know what they're missing." One of the best quotes ever. Great interview, too.

[CA369]

My favorite hero, Larry Flynt is a true American. His speach here was well said.

[audijeep]

Wonderful interview. Important stuff.
