Larry Flynt makes Richard Mourdock $1M offer over rape comments

Looks like Trump has met his match.

INDIANAPOLIS - Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock is getting an unusual offer from adult entertainment publisher Larry Flynt.

Flynt took out a full page ad in Thursday's Indianapolis Star offering Mourdock $1 million for proof to substantiate his comments made during last week's debate that "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."

"Please be kind enough to verify your claim for a wondering nation," Flynt wrote. "I will accept for purposes of this reward any verifiable transcript of your personal conversations with God; letters, email, text messages or videos from God, or messages addressed to you from God transmitted by any third party, including the Republican National Committee or the Romney/Ryan campaign."

"I assume that you would not have made this statement unless you had been authorized by God. No one who believes in God would ever use the Almighty’s name in vain. That would be blasphemy," Flynt wrote. "I am eager to receive your proof and pay my $1 million reward to you."

Like when he came out asking why we weren't getting any journalism out of Afghanistan during the information blackout the first few months there.

I totally agreed with him, but the fear level was running high in this country and he took a lot of flak for daring to ask for some transparency.

Whatever you think of the guy personally, he's a free speech and freedom of information advocate, and we need more of them, especially ones that have some monetary weight to throw around.
