Larry Flynt Makes "Palin" Porn Movie
Nothing, nothing is too low to do to Sarah Palin. Larry Flynt has apparently made a porn movie with a Sarah Palin look alike. Can you imagine the justified STINK that would be raised if this were done with a Barack Obama look alike? The foulness is beyond belief.
And a Daily News columnist (the newspaper reporting this story) says McCain has to do more to separate himself from extremists! Funny: This story has been out since the 6th and I haven't heard any condemnation from the Obama camp yet.

Obama has no more control over Larry Flynt than McCain has over the people who yell "Kill Obama!" at his rallies. If anything, less.
Neither candidate can, or should, respond to extremists trying to provoke a reaction and thereby seize control of the electoral process. Responding would only further publicize their efforts.
Flynt's only doing it for the money. He's scum. Ignore him.
padraig,
If what you say about non-responding is true, then what do you make of the loud howling from the media about Sen. McCain's supporters and the absolute silence about the obscenities directed toward Gov. Palin and her family by Sen. Obama's supporters? And why should Sen. Obama have less control over his out-of-control supporters than Sen. McCain, as you imply? Why should the looney left be "ignored" but the looney right held up as "representative" of the typical McCain/Palin base? You have to admit that your "ignore them all" idea is not being followed in the press, so continuing to support silence re: one side is rather, well, one sided.
Who says Larry Flynt is an Obama supporter? I don't know or care who he's supporting. And he's hardly a lefty, he's all about the money.
The obscenities and threats I've heard from McCain supporters have taken place AT HIS SPEECHES. To McCain's credit, he has several times responded by crediting Obama as a good senator and person, at which time some of his own supporters booed him.
I do not consider those knotheads to be representative of McCain's supporters, nor to represent McCain himself, but at least they were in the same room as McCain; these twisted idiots you assume are Obama supporters act without his knowledge or consent.
Padraig, that was my first reaction too, but if I'm not mistaken, Flynt was the "serious" journalist or media rep trotted out on the alphabet soup news outlets to protect Bill Clinton. I think he began the media defense. Unfortunately it's hard to tell the difference between him and the media. He goes around trying to expose republicans for the sexual failings-not because he thinks they are wrong, but because they are hypocritical. So I would say he's probably pretty close to being a lefty as they come. It's nothing new for Flynt to try to do this and for the media to pick up on it. I don't think that people can be faulted for being suspicious that the leftist are behind this and working in synch.
Incidentally, the "Kill him!" invective was directed against Obama's friend and colleague William Ayers, admitted terrorist -- not against Obama.
Greg, you have that on authority from the person who shouted it?
Anyway, Ayers is just a guy that Obama knew when he was 9 years old, hardly a colleague, and he's certainly not anyone Obama calls a friend now. Let us know if there are any actual issues, like foreign policy or the economy, that you'd like to talk about instead of innuendoes and slurs.
And Don, all the things that Flynt did show he's a shameless self-promoter, not a lefty. Considering him part of some left-wing conspiracy is paranoia symptomatic of the fear-mongering tactics of the far right, which you have apparently swallowed whole.
Padraig, you got the wrong guy when it comes to conspiracy and paranoia. I think you mean the Clintonistas with their flow charts showing how Richard Mellon Scaife was involved in a world wide media conspiracy to take down Clinton. That was the lefty kool-aide fountain pre-Cheney and Haliburton. Sorry.
So the Secret Service has determined that no one shouted any such thing, making the question moot: http://www.timesleader.com/news/breakingnews/Secret_Service_says_Kill_him_allegation_unfounded_.html.
To work together on two foundations doling out millions of dollars makes people colleagues. And when Chicago's Mayor Daley, who knows both men fairly well, described Obama and Ayers as "friends," Obama's campaign did not dispute it. Apparently it's all right when a powerful Democrat says so.
Greg, first you claimed you knew who the guy was yelling it at. So now NOBODY shouted it?
The reporters who were there stand by the story, according to the same source you cited.
And if Ayers is a terrorist now, why isn't he in jail? Maybe because he's a professor of education at the University of Chicago? Pointy-headed intellectual maybe, but hardly a terrorist these days.
"Anyway, Ayers is just a guy that Obama knew when he was 9 years old, hardly a colleague..."
You're taking Democratic talking points and not even writing them in the correct order. Ayers committed terrorism when Obama was only eight or nine, but Obama was FAR OLDER than that when he willingly allied himself with Ayers.
Oh, and "why isn't he in jail"? He was let go on a technicality; the case against him was bungled. He is NOT innocent. As he said himself after the case, "Guilty as hell -- free as a bird."
Speaking of paranoia and conspiracy, I forgot Hillary's vast right wing conspiracy. The left has been living on that for 10 years.
Ayers is still unrepentant and said he wish he had done more bombing or been more successful.
I'll be buying most definitely... nah no not really there's better porn around :) yay for Sasha Grey! ^^
