Larry Flynt: Nadya Suleman Couldn't Earn $1 Million, Laughs Off Skin Tax

Larry Flynt was interviewed on MSNBC on Monday, where the publisher of Hustler sounded a little worse for the wear.

Asked about the so-called skin tax, where states are proposing a tax on pornography, he said:

"What do they want you to do? Participate in it less?" He also noted the effort has already failed in several states, and "I hope they fail everywhere else."

He added that the "the church and the government have had us on a guilt trip for a long time."

As for the economy, Flynt has proposed a bailout for the porn industry, which he admits was a bid to make a broader point.

"I have a solution" for the economic crisis, he said. "It's called bankruptcy."

The MSNBC anchor then asked the porn king what he thought of the $1 million offer Nadya Sulemon, the octomom, was reportedly offered to pose naked.

"I don't believe the offer quite frankly. That young lady has a problem... she doesn't deserve to be the mother of 14 kids."

The Moral M0r0ns fail again.

Keep your morality to yourself!

[midbikecrisis]

Why do the Marriott's­...devote Mormons... have porn in all their hotels..?

It's called hipocracy. Money trumps values!

[Zofomofo]

maybe because all religion is a lie?

[Lionsden]

Of course Barack Hussein Obama's party is the party that most helps pornography.

Larry Flynt is reason number 3098457098­6209857094­5687690827­0495865908­3745098756­0928734598­7340986709­5873905873­0948573985­739847 as to why it is imposible to be a Christian AND a member of the Democratic Party.

You are deceiving yourself about one or the other if you say you are a Christian AND belong to the dem party.

[bobtr900]

Of course and as usual you are wrong. The GOP and the Religious Right support the top telecarrier of porn, Rupert Murdoch, who always enjoys much support for shilling for the GOP and the religious entities who also support the GOP. Just ask O'Reilly, Hannity, Van Susteren, Cavuto et.al, and their religion, which is also my religion.

That is the extraordinary hypocrisy of the Religious Right that has associated itself with the Rethug party, the party of killers for corporate profits.

[gypsy508]

Funny then that hotels repeatedly report that Christian-related conferences draw the greatest number of porn channel sales. I guess they are all doing research?

[jackq]

You mean barak HUSSAIN obama ?

[omahadave]

How exactly does the Democratic party help porn? I see no connection. The money- worshipers I have known are Republicans. Money-worshipers make porn. Helping the poor and disadvantaged is the goal of the Democrats. Republicans call this "socialism," and hope everyone is stupid enough to condemn it on those grounds alone. R's want no taxes on the richest of the rich. D's want everyone to pay their fair share. Which one reflects the message of Jesus? NOT the message of today's churches, the message of JESUS.

[HappyMarsden]

Actually, recent studies have found Republicans are greater consumers of porn than democrats. Therefore, Rush Limburger's party is the party that most helps pornography and Larry Flynt.

Why not legalize prostitution? Regulate it and tax it. Women and men would be working legitimate tax paying jobs.

[Amennyc]

I agree. It would out an honest face on all the sexy young women who marry old, really old fat rich men.

[drymartini1]

project much? or jealous much?

[Jenny73]

It's time to legalize prostitution it's the oldest profession in the world and it will never end, we could cut down on all the cases of Aids and HIV, raise taxes, and many woman who are on the fringe of society could now be legit members who would not have to hide their faces in shame anymore. Prostitutes offer a service where there is a demand and they put up with many, many abuses from their clients in order to keep a roof over their head. Let's take prostitution away from drug users who are trying to get a fix and give it back to the ladies that performed it with some sort of dignity and honor, people are just trying to earn a living, let's let them.

the MSNBC anchor who interviewed him is named Tamron Hall

she is a female black

If she knew how porn was made (the drugs dispensed to females prior to filming etc)
I doubt she would have been so grateful to Flynt for his time, I doubt she would have even wanted to interview him

if she still would interview him --then I guess she should have David Duke on as her next guest

[Artamentous]

LOL. Are the drugs forced on them? Doubtful. Also, they are all consenting adults they should be able to do whatever they want.

[maxbianco]

Ha! they Do do what they want.
no one is holding a gun to their heads, they do it for the MONEY. its just that simple.

[tploomis]

Larry Flynt is one of America's great heroes. He has stood up for free speech in the face of tremendous legal and social pressure from the forces of prudery and hypocrisy in America, and he took a bullet for doing that. He continues to be vilified by the hypocritical right and the delusional left, including the implication that any drugs women might take before filming are somehow forced upon them. if anybody was forced to take drugs against her will, she has a very simple course of action: report it to the police and followup with prosecution. But this "forced drugs" theme seems to me to mostly be a fantasy of the intolerant left, who still love to think of themselves as helpless victims at the mercy of beastly sex maniacs.

[gypsy508]

I can say with strong certainty that - like anyone else - people making porn would rather not be working with actresses who are on meds or coked up.

[KenGirard]

A real reporter is always grateful for the time of anyone they interview. If she had interviewed Hitler or the Grand Wizard of the KKK she would have thanked him for taking his time to talk to her. It is part of being unbiased in the presentation of the news. As a reporter one does not talk only to the people you agree with, you also talk to the ones you don't. A reporter tries to show both sides of the story to inform the audience of the choices, and then let the audience make up their own minds.

I am still trying to figure out what point exactly you are trying to make by pointing out that she is a "female black". Is it that you think we didn't notice?

[Zofomofo]

Do you really think Larry has to drug anyone to get them to pose nude?

You sound like someone saying we should get ride of cars because thousands of people die every year.

No one is saying there isn't a seedy underbelly to it all, but that is mostly due to people like you who want to keep normal human behavior taboo and illegal.

I suppose you want pot and alcohol prohibition too. Get the clouds out of your mind.
