EXCLUSIVE: Larry Flynt Rushed To Hospital



Hustler kingpin Larry Flynt was rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital on Saturday afternoon, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

While his ailment and current condition remains a mystery, it appears that Flynt was driven to the hospital in his own car, and not taken by ambulance, according to a RadarOnline.com source.

He was said to be moaning in pain before being driven to medical care.

The 66-year-old is paralyzed from the waist down, the result of a 1978 assassination attempt. He is head of Larry Flynt Publications, which counts Hustler magazine as its crown jewel, and is reported to average $300 million per year in revenue.

The Hustler brand includes the magazine, novelty shops and even a Gentleman's Club.

Flynt has been married five times, and is father to five children. His current wife, Elizabeth Berrios, has been his bride since 1998. The pron mogul has been a perpetual presence in American courts throughout the decades, pushing boundaries with his depictions of sex and issues of free speech.

His life was chronicled in the film The People vs. Larry Flynt, where the mogul was played by Woody Harrelson.

1. I wish him well

I've always had a kind of grudging respect for Mr. Flynt.

2. Well...someone has to balance out the sanctimonious fundie trogladytes...

Flynt's done that and then some. And I admire his efforts to smoke out Repug hypocrisy on sexual scandal stuff.

[Skittles]

7. yes

I guess I like him because he's just so non-phony - he is what he is and hates hypocrisy in others

[onehandle]

3. I wish I was a pron mogul.

That's a kind of shrimp, right?

Best wishes to Mr. Flynt.

[Ilsa]

4. Actually, it's a type of shrimp that snow skis. The most fun to watch

do the acrobatics.

5. Big shrimp

8. I don't wish ill on anybody, but Flynt isn't very fond of women

I don't doubt that people on the far-right have a misogynist streak to them -- because many of them do -- but Larry Flynt has not been very amicable to women's rights throughout the years. Just because somebody consistently exposes and vilifies people such as Jerry Falwell, does not automatically mean they have a good agenda.

Flynt is known to have said, "women are here to serve men." If that's not degrading, then I don't know what is.

10. Yes..

.... and when he was able he was screwing everything with a skirt that moved. You figure it out.

[Forkboy]

12. What you said.

I'm not a fan either, despite his being right on a couple of big issues.

[BlooInBloo]

9. He's one of the people that I'm most ambivalent about.

[Vickers]

19. Well put.

:thumbsup:

There are many things I like about him, but...geez.

11. Gold plated fittings on his wheelchair?

Waaaaay to go.

[Stevenmarc]

13. It needs spinners and naked girl silhouette mudflaps

[ProgressiveProfessor]

14. Could also be brass plating over the steel tubes

15. Holy Shit, I thought he was dead already..

Don't know why I thought that, but I did..

Hope he recovers. Not the prettiest poster child for the first amendment, but at one time he was pushing the envelope.

[Cirque du So-What]

16. I hope Mr. Flynt has made arrangements upon his demise

for the release of all the dirt he's accumulated on political figures over the years. I'd hate to think of him taking all those juicy secrets to the grave. What a waste!

[Stinky The Clown]

17. I wish a speedy recovery to one of America's VERY few honest people.

[MADem]

18. Mister Love/Hate, himself. I do hope he recovers.

I love his emphasis on free speech and his exposing of hypocrisy (Livingston, particularly) during the Clinton years.

I hate the work he's in--it degrades women, or at least it does the way he does it. I suppose if he didn't do it, someone else would, but it's a lousy way to make a living, IMO.
