Larry Flynt Has Something To Say

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')'m calling for a national strike, one designed to close the country down for a day.

CODE PINK!

"The Pervert is back!"

Nice editorial Larry, but someone in your position is cursed by nature; a pen name would remove all your notoriety, and knowing it's you every sentence sounds in that garbled Woody Harrelson voice, words like "wide open beavers" pop into the reader's head of their own volition...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he real war is not between the left and the right. It is between the average American and the ruling class. If we come together on this single issue, everything else will resolve itself. It's time we took back our government from those who would make us their slaves.


Amen to that. I imagine the Huff Po readers are trying to figure out if they can have Larry on their team. Then again the Left is chock a block with celebrities along for the ride, up to the Junior Senator from Minnesota: "Me, Al Franken."

They choose to show their private parts to the world. They know what they are doing. Of course it is scurrilous, a high order of shameful. But there are women who get off on doing that. A natural lubricant, a sexual high. I wouldn't call it perverted. More like a bad idea, something that shouldn't be done. Much like a man visiting a prostitute, regrettable but as old as history.

He may be on to something here but because of his baggage it has little chance of going anywhere. The problem I see with this though is that the people would be striking against themselves.

If you want to hurt the ruling elite, stop borrowing money!

If you can get past the fact that Larry Flynt said it, his analysis is both cogent and reasonably accurate.

He's identified the root of the problem correctly (i.e. Politicians, lobbyists and the wealthy), instead of drifting off into the "look over there" distraction of liberal vs. conservative battles which are little more than pacifiers for the rubes.

I wish someone else a bit more credible had said it, but I can't fault the message.
